Glock hurtled backwards into a concrete wall along the start-finish straight after a section of the right rear of his car gave way emerging out of the final corner.It brought the safety car into play, with McLaren's strategists at the team's headquarters in Woking deciding he did not need to stop when the pit lane re-opened, unlike 11 others who dived in.That almost cost Hamilton as the safety car stayed out longer than anticipated, so when he did finally pit for a second time 17 laps from home, he was relegated from the lead to fifth.Although Hamilton was aided by team-mate Heikki Kovalainen allowing him by, and a Nick Heidfeld pit stop, he showed frightening pace to catch and stunningly pass Felipe Massa and Nelson Piquet late on.I think it has been our best weekend up until now," said Hamilton who was dominant in practice and qualifying."We have been very strong throughout, as we were in the recent test here."The team hae done a great job, and we are really on top of our game right now."But we cannot get too far ahead of ourselves. We have got a lot of work to do for the rest of the season.
