The Safety Card

It's been a long time since Formula One witnessed a dry race as chaotic as the Canadian Grand Prix, and a crash as big - and as miraculous - as Robert Kubica's. With confusion reigning over the new safety car rules and uncertainty over the Pole's condition, the Montreal race left the teams with plenty to think about.

The late George Harrison once told me that Ayrton Senna's fatal accident was 'like a raindrop on a lotus leaf', meaning that the Brazilian's front wheel striking his helmet was a matter of pure chance.

Robert Kubica's accident in Montreal was the biggest we've seen in many years, and we can all be thankful that the raindrop fell the right way - the whole sport and not just the BMW Sauber driver had a very fortunate escape last Sunday.
