Who Beats Kubica?

Even if you are not a Formula One fan, you have got to fall in love with Robert Kubica.

Why? Because he single-handedly made the largely processional Singapore Grand Prix interesting.

After the collision between Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber, the race had been rendered a boring affair until Kubica, running sixth, suffered a puncture late in the race, which dropped all the way down to 13th and out of the points.

But in the closing laps, he managed to catch those in front of him and in just a handful of laps, he nailed Jaime Alguersuari, Sebastien Buemi, team-mate Vitaly Petrov, Felipe Massa, Nico Hulkenberg and Adrian Sutil one by one, thus salvaging six points for coming home seventh.

All was done in a street circuit, no less.

It didn't matter at all if you didn't watch the earlier part of the race. Just start following Kubica after his late pitstop and it's worth watching again and again.
