lol, can you blame them? The rules have been changing alot every season.

I must say tho, so far into this season, I am pretty happy. At first I thought I would enjoy F1 less because of the leaving of MS, but all the surprises and equalness makes things pretty exciting.

new stupid safety car rule... that fucked up alonso, rosberg, fisichella and Massa...

Thoought the worst thing when saw Kubicas crash... OMFG !!! just think in that crash 10 years before.... scaring....

Great Job by Hamilton !! Finally first win!!! Very lucky and nice manouveur of McLaren pitting hamilton just after Heidfield and just before a safety car that would have ruined a deserved victory !

Alonso had a terrible day... the worst race he has made since...ever?? pffff lots of problems with tyres and very bad luck with that fucking safety and new rule... the first tyres fucked in the first curve... out of line... bye bye... and some more mistakes made his tyres like oldies all the race lmao... lets see Indianapolis

^u seem to forgot to mention his big screw up in the first corner

Quote from Alonso:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/moto...ne/6739469.stm

"It always makes the races a lottery and you need luck.

"I had to stop on lap 24, and the safety car came out on lap 24, I had to stop on lap 49-50 and it came out on lap 47, and that was the race for me.

"My team-mate benefited the most. As I said, the safety car is a lottery and there can't be a race where you are more out of luck than I have been.

"There will be other times when it will be my turn to have a good race and the rest will have all the bad luck."

Apparently Kubica got away from the accident completely uninjured, not even a broken leg as some reports mentioned. Still not 100% sure about that, but things are looking good for him! He is expected to leave hospital tomorrow.

Small video of the crash:
:arrow:

Here's a high res pic of him in the car during the crash. Incredible how the car got totally wrecked and he is fine. :shock:

i am in the picture

i just came back from the grand prix weekend

during the accident i had the debris flying at my face... i dun think i will ever see such a high speed crash in my life again,, the noise was loud, bang bang bang, and i see him fliping throught the air, and came to a stop slowly

just an incredible sighting


and yeah, F1 cars are loud as fuck

apparently he got away unscathed. they originally thought he had a broken ankle but later said he didn't.

that was definitely a wicked wreck and i'm amazed that he didn't get a concussion. What did he hit when airborne though? Something rips the right front suspension off right after he takes flight.

whats amazing to me is this

i'm not sure how fast kubica was going... but the aero on these cars is simply insane... he had at least a 25-30 degree angle of attack, yet never continued lifting off the ground more then a few feet... amazing the car didn't go up and over the barrier more then anything else IMO...

amazing he is almost unhurt even!

^^^ That Spanish foo is getting more and more ridiculous by the day :roll:
I really hope Hamilton gives Alstronzo a good run for his money.

Same as his first world chamionship - very lucky...
not really...
Alstronzo was lucky, Hamilton wasn't... the only ones that didn't get affected by the crashes were Hamilton and Heidfield... with or without safety cars Hamilton would have won, period.
