Kubica thrumps | Hamilton costs Kimi

The Canadian Grand prix was full of mysrtical changes as the most unlikely things happened in the field. The leader of championship points Lewis Hamilton costed his rival Ferrari's Kimi raikkonen the finish when he hit him in the pit lane which resulted him 10 spots in the next race. Mclaren has admited Hamiltons penalty and has said that thry have nothing to appeal for.



Poland's Robert Kubica, driving a BMW Sauber, won a drama-filled Canadian Grand Prix in which pre-race favourite Lewis Hamilton took himself and Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen out of the race in an early pit lane collision.

After lap 18 of the 70-lap race, Hamilton ploughed into the back of Raikkonen's car while he and Kubica were waiting for the red light at the end of the pit lane.

The three former champions were racing in this race who were Ferrari's Kimi who won it here in 2005 for Mclaren and Alonso for Renault and 2007 was won by Mclaren. Unfortunaltly none of the three could not even finish the race.



Toyota's German Timo Glock took fourth place, the best result of his first full Formula One season and Brazilian Ferrari driver Felipe Massa claimed an eventful fifth.

With 22 laps remaining Kubica pitted for the final time, emerging safely in front of his teammate.

Scottish veteran Coulthard was now in third place with a mad scramble for points unfolding behind him.

There was no catching Kubica though and there were scenes of joy in the BMW garage as he crossed the finish line to become the first ever Polish grand prix winner.
