Kubica was along side of Kimi when he was hit. It could have easily been Kubica that was taken out of the race.
And it was a great win for Robert and BMW Sauber, but the win would have been even sweeter if he would have won the race with two of the top drivers, Kimi and Lewis, still on the track at the end. But at the end of the day it is a win.

I was wondering about that too. It appeared to me that Lewis turned to hit Kimi rather than Robert. I was wondering if he did that intentionally since he probably thought that Kimi was a bigger threat for the overall championship. If Lewis realized he was not going to be able to stop in time and that he was going to hit one of those two guy he might as well take out Kimi in an effort to keep his title hopes alive.

The brat didn't judge at all when he saw the cars stopping and then coming to a halt. He decided to accelerate
