This image shows more detail of the car, be warned.

Spoiler:
Look at the right hand side of the extinguisher button. It should not be hanging off the car.

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.

car looks 'ok', but I imagine we will have a sudden-push towards the closed cockpits.

Now that's taking things a bit too far, that's surely an emotional reaction due to circumstances.

Do we think the FIA should look at those slow zones they have in WEC now?


Ted Kravitz saying the medical helicopter was at the track & could fly but the medical people decided not to use it.

medical helicopter was there, but wasn't used for 'some' reason. It was possible however to fly. The heli lifted off to the hospital because the race was over.

That latest picture of the car is pretty telling of what has happened. Doesn't look good.

Ah c´mon nothing happened till this freak accident.And Massa was still bitching about the conditions when everyone wanted to go.

We had so many Rain Races that where worse from the conditions.

Fact is that the SC should have come out immediately after Sutils crash

I'm starting to wonder if Charlie even knew about the crane. I'm sure I read somewhere that the SC must be thrown to allow course vehicles onto the track if they are in a dangerous area, so perhaps it was a decision taken at the corner, not in race control?

We know how he would normally suspend the race for this sort of thing, so perhaps the message just didn't reach him?


cranes go on the track all the time dude


Oh yes, which is why I edited before posting to add the bit about them being in a dangerous position. I'm sure* they wouldn't treat a crane on the outside of a massive gravel trap the same as one on the outside of Copse, for example.

* I mean I really, really hope they wouldn't.

Either they didn't use the heli because of the weather, or they didn't need it. Hope its not the latter.

Again similar accident can happen whenever there is tractor on the track, if car approaching loses it or suffers of brake failure etc. Also car can ran over marshalls or other driver.

The car looks weird... It's like the Rollbar part is... missing.
Look at this picture, and look where the "E" is placed:
