Yup, it was kimi he ran into.
Quote:
At the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix, McLaren should have paid more attention – especially given that one of their drivers (Montoya) had previously fallen foul – when it happened again. With Lewis Hamilton pitting at the same time as many other cars during a safety car interruption, he failed to see the red light that Kimi Raikkonen and Robert Kubica had managed to spot, and ploughed straight into the back of the Finn’s Ferrari, while Nico Rosberg planted his Williams into the back of Hamilton.
Back in 1974, however, red lights were not the done thing, but a race official parking their vehicle across pit exit would work equally well.
Just ask Niki Lauda: leading the British Grand Prix comfortably and on course for Ferrari’s first win in over a decade when he’s forced into the pits with a slow puncture. Trying to exit pit lane, he finds himself trapped in pit lane when a circuit official parks their car across the exit. The win was lost, and Ferrari successfully negotiated an appeal to have Niki’s fifth placed result improved to a fourth. Hardly fair…
