I know, he coasted for most of the straight. But he said himself he threw the lap away at the final corner. Having never really observed the temperament of Alonso, you do wonder if he thought to himself that he'd screwed up, and rather throw the lap away than commit to finishing the lap and really "losing" pole to his team mate - maybe by only a couple of hundredths of a second - and hence taking a little bit of psychological high ground. The way he did it, we will never know.

Aye, what happened? Did he just have to avoid as Hamilton was on the racing line and he would have smashed into him had Alonso taken the line?

Nasty indeed. Worst looking crash in recent history, and just as well he didn't bounce a foot higher into the wall. Good to hear that his injuries are only limited to a broken leg.

Well done Lewis!

Hamilton for PM

I watched the race in German and Nikki Lauda came out with the quote of the season (so far) after kubica's crash:

"In my day, by such an accident he would have died twice, once when he hit the first wall and again when he hit the second wall"

PS I think that Lewis might be worth a fiver being invested down the bookies.

I am guessing bmw will use vettel in the race seat, I know they've wanted this chance for a long time.

Hurrah! Lucky I put Heidfeld in. Can't say Alex Wurz did too bad - 19th to 3rd, including 40 laps on the Supersofts - which everyone else was doing as short a stint as possible on. And all with a broken rear wing...
