no onboards from Kimi or the Caterham?

If they have them, Sky aren't showing them. It may be a continuation of the BBC's policy of not showing replays until they know a driver is okay. They can see Räikkönen walking, but they need to take him in for examination.

No both bbc and sky get the feed from the fia so it's down to the fia if they show it or not both sky and bbc have no control apart from the presenter cameras.
 
That was a big crash and Kimi was limping ou of it. Pilot error and a stupid mistake by Raikkonen because who in their state of mind re-joins the track in the tarmac bit where there is a bump... Poor Massa though, he is the defenition of Murphy's Laws.

Well, I'm just going by Massa's accident in Hungary back in 2009. Footage was available within minutes, but the world feed never showed it.

It was a stupid mistake by Räikkönen. He was never going to make the corner, and made no effort to slow down when he went off. He was clearly trying to rejoin via the tarmac apron, but the angle at which he would have rejoined would have been too sharp to be safe.

It's more stupid the bump he found while rejoining the track. What's the point of a tarmac runoff area if you find a 5 cm bump right before coming back on track? The driver could have slow down more but the track wasn't safe in that place.
 
Great to see British ingenuity and engineering skills leaping into action to fix the fence quickly... Like spanner-ninjas.....





Not.

Will be exciting to see how the Williams and Ferraris come through the field.

Australia - Hamilton pole but his car broke down, Monaco - We all knew how quali went, Austria - Hamilton started ninth but was on his bumper by the end showing much more speed, I'll admit he's a much smarter and more consistent driver but he tends to inherit his wins just like Silverstone last year.

What about Monaco quali? Nico made a mistake. I hope you're not implying anything else without evidence. And Hamilton made a mistake in quali at Austria. Funny how you're not raising questions about that.

Enough bloody excuses already.
 
Fittipaldi = Ledge.

Watching the BBC coverage and Emerson just made some great comments about Jenson. Ultimately I'd trust the opinion of a driver over a team boss any day.
 
I saw a Ferrari run wide and thought "Wont he spin at that speed?"

:banghead:

Hopefully Kimis okay, brilliant reactions from Felipe and Kamui though.
 
No broken bones but concerns over his right ankle.
 
I'm surprised are they repairing the Armco. I'm pretty sure in other past races people have bent barriers and the race just continues after the safety car leaving the damage.

It was Räikkönen's fault, pure and simple. He made no attempt to back off when he decided to run wide, which was clearly a conscious decision in the first place. Even without that drain, it was always going to be a dangerous rejoin. If you're going to criticise the design of the run-off area, then Räikkönen absolutely deserves criticism for not backing off.

Massa didn't walk away though kimi did.

Michael Schumacher walked away from his skiing accident. Two hours later, he was in a coma. Now, Räikkönen has hardly taken a blow to the head, but he could easily have an injury that a cursory examination at the scene would miss. Remember Johnny Herbert's Formula 3 accident at Brands Hatch? Years later he was finding bits of grass at bitumen in his feet.
 
Ferrari tweeting that Kimi is asking if Felipe is okay.

Nice guy.

That was really a freak accident. Kimi didn't seem to do anything wrong while rejoining... the car just got out of sorts over that bump. The off, of course, was all him.

-

Lewis in a good spot. Starting P4 now, only two cars between him and Nico.

Nico, meanwhile, has had a small snack. :lol:
