![]() Hamilton’s ripped tyre blows his podium – 2007 ![]() The honour would soon be Alonso’s as he claimed the first of his back-to-back world championships. The moment caused Montoya to flat-spot a tyre and with two laps to go, he ran wide through the long Turn 8, allowing Alonso to snatch second place, ruin a McLaren 1-2 and help the Spaniard keep Räikkönen at bay in their title duel. ![]() Kimi won in Turkey quite comfortably, but team-mate Juan Pablo Montoya dropped a clanger after Tiago Monteiro’s Jordan hit him while being lapped.
