The F1 race held yesterday at Canada was like a miracle !! Robert Kubica - BMW Sauber (1st), Nick Heidfeld - BMW Sauber (2nd), David Coulthard - Red Bull (3rd), Timo Glock - Toyota (4th), Felipe Massa, Ferrari (5th). Where's Lewis Hamilton (Mclaren Mercedes) & Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari) ???
Where they gone ?? There's a reason behind it !! Yes and that is Hamilton ran into the back of Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari, which was stopped at a red light at the pit exit. The resulting damage put both men out the race, with Hamilton admitting he had not seen the light in time. Rosberg then ran into the rear of Hamilton’s stricken McLaren, but was able to rejoin the race, despite damage to the front of his Williams.
Let's here what Kimi (Ferrari) got to say : "There's not much I can say. My race was ruined by Hamilton's mistake. Obviously, anyone can make mistakes, as I did two weeks ago in Monaco, but it's one thing to make a mistake at two hundred (miles) per hour but another to hit a car stopped at a red light. I am not angry because that doesn't achieve anything and does not change my result! I am unhappy, because I had a great chance of winning. Once the graining had gone from the tyres, the car was going very well. I have failed to score in these last two races and now it's time to start winning again. There is still a long way to go in the championship and it is still very close and we have everything we need to regain the ground we have lost."
And due to this accident, McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton and Williams’ Nico Rosberg will drop 10 places on the grid at the next round of the championship in France as penalty for their pit-lane incident in Canada. Commenting on the incident, Hamilton said: "As I exited the box, I saw two cars jostling for position ahead of me in the pit lane. Obviously, I didn't want to get involved in their tussle, and was trying not to do so, and then all of a sudden they stopped. And by the time they'd come to a halt, it was too late for me to avoid them. It's just unfortunate when stuff like this happens, but I have no argument with the stewards.”
BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica on taking a historic maiden victory; McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen on the pit-lane incident that ruined both their races; and David Coulthard on putting Red Bull back on the podium. The drivers report back on all the action in Montreal… What a miracle bless to David Coulthard from Red Bull Don't forget " Drink red bull it gives you wings" ...
Looking forward to next F1 race happening at FRANCE | Magny-Cours
