What a messy day it has been. First GP2, now GP3.

No restart? I hope, it's just for the darkness.

The car was damaged before he went in backwards, so I suspect he made contact with somebody.

It's clearly going to take more than 10 minutes to fix that barrier, regardless of the driver's condition.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Yeah, with gravel I think he wouldn't have even reached the tyrewall, or it would've been much smaller hit. Had the car been rolled, it's obviously less dangerous than impact to the solid object.

Even with so many tarmac runoffs nowadays, unlike on most tracks, Spa doesn't have gravel strips next to the barrier.
