Saw this advert today during the Formula On GP which cracked me up, as championship leaders - and teammates - Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso take their rivalry off the racetrack. Much has been said about possible friction in the team so it’s nice to see this light hearted advert starring the two drivers, and a great little cameo from Mika Hakkinen at the end.
Polish F1 racer Robert Kubica was in some sick crash yesterday in the Canadian Grand Prix yesterday. Someone’s put it up on YouTube, so check it out. Luckily he appears to have survived unscathed, which is incredible.
The other news from the race was that Lewis Hamilton won his maiden vistory. I read after the race that Fernando Alonso said he had very bad luck with the safety cars, whilst Hamilton had good luck. That slightly glosses over the fact that Fernando had screwed up the first corner and Hamilton had built a healthy lead before the safety cars even came out. F1 is definitely interesting again for the UK fan.
