Huge crash already

[muppetdave]

Major accident for #1 Audi in Free Practice being driven by Loic Duval - no news on him as yet. Fingers crossed...

Apparently they had to drive Audi engineers from the pits to the accident site to help release him from the car.

thats crazy.. (if true)

I really hope he is OK...

I really hoped for better luck for the drivers this year. Especially after the tragedy last year.

[Don1]

Looks OK hopefully... This is the CCTV pic they showed.

[Stedman]

Let's hope he isn't injured too severely.

I think it’s because the hybrid system was still powered up and marshals are not allowed to touch the car until a light indicates that it is off. (source for all of this is the commentator of my tv channel)

jesus Christ. . . lets hope he is ok. .

Glad he seems ok. Do they have 'spare' cars or is this the week-end over for them?

[Lynchie999]

I'm sure he will be OK... McNish is with him.. with a bottle of Whisky!

[Gixer]

Pretty amazing he's ok when you see the state of the car. Tense time waiting to hear he was ok

[Rick101]

Wow, hope he is ok. Car is destroyed!

Hope he brought his race suit and helmet just in case.

[NotNormal]

Definitely looks a bad one, especially from the rear. Front pics show the car is a bit more intact.




So so pleased these cars do such a good job of protecting its drivers. Hats off to Audi from that aspect.

Yes, amazing tub strength / design.
