Lewis Hamilton shunted himself and Ferrari’s world champion Kimi Raikkonen out of the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix in a bizarre pit-lane pile-up while the safety car was deployed. Kimi had stopped at the red light at the end of the pit lane on lap 20, with BMW Sauber’s Polish driver Robert Kubica waiting alongside, after they had made their first pitstops.
Hamilton failed to brake in time, the Briton piling hard into the back of the stationary Ferrari with German driver Nico Rosberg’s Williams then piling into the McLaren and breaking his front wing.
