Rain now would make things interesting.

This is some good formula 1.

Someone should give Maldonaldo some slicks, you know, for fun.

This GP has offered more than anyone could have predicted.

If Maldonado makes it to the finish I think Lotus will celebrate it like a championship win!!

He just went off again.

Did the tractor break?

Give the point to Mylander he deserves it.

Bianchis car went off at the same place as Sutils.

Lowdon/Marussia team looking very concerned. In the meantime, Lotus may regret this one.

Id imagine they didnt know how serious it was at the time.

Sutils car was in the air suspended from the tractor, but then they showed the chain disconnected and the car on the ground.... S something must have happened.

The marshals lowered it, you saw them do it when the medical car got there.

TTmonkey said:

Exactly. They wouldn't have done this for any reason at that point other than something else not expected happening.

Ahh sorry i misunderstood your original post.

Sutil has given an interview according to various sources on twitter. where he says Bianchi did hit the tractor.

The helicopter has left.

There are still photos on twitter now of the accident scene, im not going to post them.

[anonymous-user]

Hope it doesn't turn out to be an issue that the helicopter was unavailable due to the weather.

Why the hell is there no helicopter? I didn't think they could race without it?.

You can if you can get police escort to nearest hospital.

I was at Brands for DTM a few years ago , on practice day they couldn't go on track because the helicopter was unable to fly due to weather

Yesterday during Teds Notebook he stated that if the ambulance can get a police escort then the helicopter is not required to be able to fly for the race to take place.

It has gone eerily quiet on the news front

I was just thinking this, there is hardly anything coming from the circuit.

[anonymous-user]

I dont know which youtube pictures your referring to but some of them are from a different accident as the car doesn't have wet tyres on.

Anyway, it doesnt matter. Just need Jules to get through this.

Sky Sports News just showed Sutils accident and on the roll hoop was a red flashing light as it was spinning across the gravel, what was this light?

EDIT: probably the light to denote not to touch the car due to hybrid energy as it turned green once the car had stopped?
