Was it just me, or as Lewis Hamilton realised he was going to crash into either Robert Kubica or Kimi Raikonnen - who were both politely waiting for a red light at the end of the pit lane at the Canadian grand-prix in Montreal this weekend - did Hamilton make the very shrewd move of steering very obviously left and careering into what he envisaged was his closest championship rival, as opposed to Kubica, who would have been far easier to steer into, given that he was straight in front of him?
Ironically, Kubica now leads the championship after Lewis' cock-up, and after not scoring for two consecutive races, Raikonnen's now fourth in the championship, three points behind Hamilton and Felipe Massa. Take nothing away from Kubica - he fully deserved his win with a fantastic drive - and has been superbly consistent all season whilst fellow championship contenders have been falling over themselves to, well, fall over themselves.
Nevertheless, it made for a bizarre but interesting race, which now makes it two in a row where something worth watching has actually occured on the track - or at least something that was exectued by the drivers, as opposed to a bunch of Star Wars lookalikes who are highly trained Kwik-Fit fitters.
