That word should never be used in one of these threads. Not even in a joking manner.
Edit: and what a bonehead move from Karthikeyan. That definitely deserves a one race ban at the least.

Meaning that all parts on a F1 car are designed for aerodynamics and downforce, something that throws the downforce out can cause it to crash at high speeds.

Did Karthikeyan slow down? What the heck?

His engine let go. You can see one exhaust throwing fluid into the sky.

With suddenly no power and fluid on the track, Rosberg's closed way faster than he thought and not been able to avoid it.

No-one's fault and colossal crash.

I'm well aware of that. It's still not something that should be joked about. I've witnessed countless drivers and riders perish and it's in very bad taste to even joke about it while a race is on.

Didn't notice the puff of smoke in the first round of replays.
 
That SLS sound makes is so nice.
 
Could this play anymore into Vettel's hands?
 
now with the retirement of Narain Karthikyan track safety conditions have improved 10%

Massive crash. Thank goodness the two drivers are both fine.

Slowing down drastically on the racing line is a boneheaded move. I have since been made aware of the engine failure and have noted as such in subsequent posts.
 
Vettel hit a brake marker.
 
What the **** is Vettel on! Not very clever that Seb! One race ban for damaging FIA DRS sign.

He seems rather agitated, having just blamed Ricciardo for his own inattention...
 
What's up with Seb lol ? It's weird what happen behind the pace car

Well he went into the DRS marker which messed up his wing again, so he may pit.
 
Vettel surely can't race with that. The wing is practically bald on one side.

Also respect to Hamilton for asking about Rosberg and Narains well being.
 
seb having a cry on the radio about ricciardo, seems he has a short memory, Fuji 07?

Which a fan video later proved was partially down to erratic driving from Hamilton...
 
Well, looks like Vettel back to square one.
 
Vettel pitting.
 
Wow at all the bad luck for Vettel. I am sure most people are happy to see it and wished it upon him. Damned.
 
I didn't like the look of that DRS zone sign much anyway.
 
Vettel coming in for a new front wing and tyres.
 
Twists and turns everywhere. This race is exciting as hell.

It's not bad luck, both time when he broke his front wing was totally his fault, first, he overbrake a bit and hit Senna's car, 2nd time he went into the braking sign so yeah. No bad luck here.
