What if......No pit lane crash?

What do you think would have happened if LH did not hit Kimi in Canada?
Would there have been a review on Kubica and Kimi racing to the red light?
Would have Kubica and Kimi drag raced until they caught up to the cars behind the SC? Are they allowed to do that? Can you hit race speeds during a SC? What are the rules on this sort of situation?

during a safety car phase you can only overtake in the pits between the first safety car line and the second safety car line. no idea where the two lines were in Canada. having looked at google earth it is clear that at one point the pit lane exit contracts to one car width. that is very likely behind the 2nd safety car line. so it would depend of the rule conformity of their driving I guess.

My impression during the race was that Kimi failed to overtake Kubitza before the line by few centimeters (I have no idea what line is, but it was clearly marked at the end of the pit lane, some meters before the line at the red light).

I was expecting Kubitza to exit ahead of Räikkönen when Hamilton collided with him.

speculation on events that cant happen is a bit pointless

What would have happened? The greatest driver ever, Juan Pablo Montoya, would have won it lapping the field by two laps.

The other thing from the video is Kimi seems to be going quite a bit faster than Kubica on pit limiting.. or was Kubica on the brakes?

In the pit situation the person already driving on the pit line - Kubica in this case - should have automatic priority for the gap at the end. Since the speed for all cars should be equal then it makes sense that you have to pull in behind someone if they're even 5cm in-front?

It didn't really matter in the end mind you.
