Heikki Kovalainen has had a difficult start to his career at McLaren - and much of it has not been his fault.

The Finn has been very unlucky since moving from Renault last season, and a number of events have transpired to deny him a string of good results.

But while he has been outclassed by team-mate Lewis Hamilton at some races, there have been others when Kovalainen has had the Englishman's measure.

And it seems only a matter of time before he wins his first race.
