  RoboAmish will not believe this.

  Due to Mark's obsession over Euro 2008, I must tell him the Formula One results.

  Now, Mark will not believe this, but Robert KUbica finally won his first grand prix, beating his teammate Nick Heidfeld and David Coulthard. 4th was Glock, Massa, Trulli, Barrichello and Vettel for the other points.

  Take that! Also, your predicted driver to win, Lewis Hamilton,. crashed in the pits with Raikkonen.

  L.O.L to Mark. Also, Kubica is leading the championship.

  Double L.O.L

  European Championship 2008 + Formula One: Previews and Results

  The European Championship 2008, or as we lazy people say it, Europ 2008, starts today at Switzerland, the co-hosts who face Czech Republic. Meanwhile, Portugal face Turkey.

  The Czechs won the match, 1-0, thanks to Sverkos' 70th minute goal. A well-deserved win for the Czechs, as they dominated the match. Shame for Alexander Frei, who's match and perhaps Euro 2008 campaign came to a end before half-time.

  Man of the Match: Phillippe Senderos (Switzerland): Depsite losing, Senderos played great at the back of the field that might have saved Switzerland an embarrassing result at home.

  Portugal and Turkey: Cristiano Ronaldo had a good chance to score with that free kick, but Volka's fingertip made the ball touch the post. Pepe's goal was dissallowed for an offside, which it was. Turkey had some chances, Nihat's last kick before half time was their best chance of the game. In the 2nd half, Pepe was playing offense and got the ball from Nuno Gomes and flips it over Volka with ease. Raul Mereiles scored his first international goal after Jorge Moutinho gave him the ball with a open net. Nuno Gomes hitted the woodwork twice, and it's a shame that he didn't score, Ronaldo, Nihat, Tuncay and Sabri also had opportunies in an entertaining match. 2-0 for Portugal, as they lead the group tied with the Czechs, Switzerland are 3rd and Turkey are last.

  Man of the Match: Pepe (Portugal): Outstanding performance for the Madrid defender, scoring a goal, a goal that was dissallowed and denied a few of Turkey's chances.

  Formula One: The Circuit of Gilles Villenuve at Montreal just had the qualifying results, most of them are shocking, most of them are expected and most of them are normal.

  Lewis Hamilton got pole, when he robbed it away from Robert Kubica at the closing stages. Kimi starts 3rd, followed by Fernando, Nico, Felipe, Heikki, Nick, Rubens and Mark for the top 10. 11th was Timo, Kazuki, David, Jarno and Nelson Junior ffor 11th to 15th. The rest was followed suit by Bourdais, Adrian, Giancarlo, Jenson and Vettel.

  Formula One: Monaco Grand Prix (Monte Carlo) - Preview

  The sixth round of the 2008 FIA World Championship will begin tomorrow with it's first practice session. After that, qualifying will be Saturday, with the race being Sunday.

  The Monte Carlo Street Circuit, is known to every F1 driver, as the most unique track on the calendar. It's also the oldest grand prix in Formula One, beginning since 1950.

  Word on the Monte Carlo weather predicts their will be showers of rain for practice, qualifying AND raceday. This will surely be interesting as they're's no traction control this year, and the Monte Carlo Street Circuit is known for slow corners and it's small size. Making predictions almost nearly impossible.

  Ferrari: They proved how fastest they are at slow corners in the past grand prix', but they might have trouble against the competitive and under-pressured McLaren team. Felipe and Kimi are dominating the championship, but this can all turn into dust if McLaren, Sauber and maybe Renault continue to improve.

  BMW Sauber: Hopefully, they will take advantage of the weather and take their first win. They are slowly improving, and both "Quick Nick" and Robert had a fatanstic start in Istanbul.

  Renault: Renault are also slowly improving, and Fernando Alonso won the event twice in a row. Hopefully, he will make his mechanics work hard. Keep an eye on Nelsinho, he might actually get points, and if possible, the win.

  Red Bull: I could see them on the podium. Mark Webber just showed us the Red Bull's full potential, and is easily smoking Coulthard's greedy azz. I predict Webber will go on the podium, while David will make points.

  Williams: As much I would love to see Rosberg win, he isn't really a great driver when it comes to rain. Nico can't even finish a race at small circuits like Monaco and Montreal. While for Nakajima...let's just say he will crash into someone.

  Toyota: Jarno Trulli is considered the "King of Monaco". So I would assume he might win, or get a few points. Timo might get points...if he stays concentrated.

  Honda: Well to be honest, this is one of the few races where Honda can make points. Hopefully Jenson and Rubens will take advantage of the possible chaos and get some well-deserved points.

  Toro Rosso: Keep an eye on them. They have their new car, the STR3 ready to race, and who knows how fast it is. Sebastien Bourdais is also a master at Monte Carlo (in ChampCar, that is) so expect him to get points. Vettel might get points if he's not unlucky again.

  Force India: Giancarlo Fisichella said that this was his favourite circuit and knowing his experience, I would guess he might get points. He's also going to have his 200th grand prix appearence this weekend. Sutil is a great driver, and hopefully he can pull it off.

  McLaren: They currently hold the record for "Most Wins at Monte Carlo". They are really keeping the pace on the Ferrari's and it seems Lewis might win. Heikki also has a chance! Hopefully, he will not suffer so much bad luck.
