I remember the deathly silence in the press room, because it looked like one of those really bad ones, but thankfully Robert emerged virtually unharmed.
The BMW Sauber went off the road to the right at undiminished speed, around 300 kmh, slammed head-on into the outer wall, and then barrel-rolled down the track right to the outside of the hairpin itself. Up front, Lewis had regained the lead which had passed to Felipe during his own (legal) pit stop, but no sooner had the track gone green again at the end of Lap 26 than Robert Kubica had his fearsome accident in the flat-out left-hander on the approach to the hairpin after clipping the right rear wheel of Jarno Trulli’s Toyota. WATCH: 5 dramatic Canadian Grand Prix moments from the F1 archive Both Fernando and Williams’ Nico Rosberg were obliged to pit for fuel as the Safety Car was deployed while marshals cleared up Sutil’s debris, and both would be penalised 10s for pitting while the pit lane was still officially closed. But the brakes were fine he was simply pushing too much.įurther disaster befell him on Lap 23, after Adrian Sutil had parked his Spyker in the wall out the back of the circuit. As Fernando proved unable to pass Nick, I initially assumed he must have some problems with his brakes after he’d run wide again in Turn One on lap 15 and fallen behind Giancarlo Fisichella’s Renault, then repeated that on the 19th lap, dropping behind Felipe Massa’s Ferrari.
