Not Hamilton, but Kubica. I only realised halfway through the race that it was the Pole’s debut too. We were shown an on-board shot of Robert losing control at the hairpin and almost hitting the barriers. I thought to myself ‘rookie mistake’, then realised he was a rookie. Lewis, we have to admit, was soundly beaten by his teammate on his first time round the track in a car that was easily superior to everything else. Kubica, however, beat his teammate. And this isn’t to mention the problem that affected him in the closing laps as he lost several seconds, the pit-crew were ready for him to come in, but somehow he gathered it all back together again and kept his place. (I have to admit my concern wasn’t just for his performance, but for mine because I put him in as coming 5th!)
