Bogeys at one o'clock

For three drivers, this year's Canadian Grand Prix was the opportunity to redeem themselves from previous disappointments. Two of them were unable to do so. The third man emerged as the winner. Richard Barnes analyses their fortunes in Montreal

For three of the 22-strong field that started the Canadian Grand Prix at 1 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, this year's 2006 race wasn't just another step towards the culmination of the 2006 calendar. It was also a chance to redeem themselves and make up for previous disappointments at the Montreal circuit.

The first of the three, McLaren's Juan Pablo Montoya, has had an unfortunate history in Canada. A spin ended his debut Canadian performance in 2001, and the Colombian had to watch helplessly as teammate Ralf Schumacher grabbed the win and the glory for Williams. Montoya snatched pole position a year later, before a blown engine ended his race.
