S5 E6: 2008 Canadian GP - Kubica's only ...

THE RACE MEDIA LTD
About this episode
It’s a Bring Back V8s special! Mark Hughes and Edd Straw join Glenn Freeman to reflect on one of the most memorable races from F1’s V8 era, where Robert Kubica took the only win of his F1 career. We also discuss Lewis Hamilton’s blunder in the pitlane, Fernando Alonso’s talks with Honda, the incoming rule changes for 2009, and if BMW threw away a chance of fighting for the world championship with Kubica over the rest of 2008.

We also revisit early speculation about Kimi Raikkonen's F1 future, the paddock's reaction to Max Mosley winning an FIA vote of confidence, how yet another flexi-wing controversy was stamped out, and if Nick Heidfeld should have been willing to sacrifice a BMW 1-2 to chase victory for himself.
