The driver and track official were hurt pretty bad but definitely made it. Ferrari makes one hell of a car D:
This is certainly a what the fudge moment, drivers in WTCC were so concerned with getting a slipstream that none of them made it to the start line, 12 grid penalties have been given out for it:
I don't get it, what is the big deal about them all being slow?
Crazy, yes. But also entirely justified.Its also resulted in one of the craziest list of penalties I've seen
OK, I knew about drafting, but I didn't understand the context of the clip, thanks for explaining.
It is not permitted to drive any car unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers at any time.

Heeeeere's JONNY!
In the words of Jeremy Clarkson, that's not gone well.
That's what happens when you put a bunch of aggressive drivers lacking experience on a tight street track.
Isn't that kinda the point of GP2, to build their racing knowledge?
Not really, it's the second highest single seater formula, just below F1. They should have built most of their racing knowledge long before they got to GP2 but in the last few seasons it's seemingly been filled with dangerous rookies who just don't seem to know what they're doing and are far too aggressive.
Like Formula 1 where more drivers seem to be buying their way into a seat?
How often do you see crashes like that in F1 in the dry? It's not just a one off either, the last two or three seasons of GP2 have been like this. This current crop of drivers are just not up to the standards of previous years.

Well luckily in Formula 1 they still have a lot of talent from the past few years when they actually looked at the talent of a driver rather than how much money he brought to the teams.
But let's take Maldonado and/or Perez for example. Last year neither finished the race and Grosjeans incident at turn 1 could have caused the exact same problem but the more experienced (should we say talented) drivers meant that him, and him only lost the race at the first turn.

zippy_the_catThat looks like the 405 at all hours.
SamusWell that's what I'm saying, the field overall is very poor, even at the front. You're always going to have the odd rookie but at the very front and overall you expect the experience and talent to sort themselves out. GP2 for the past few seasons just seems to be filled with average drivers. I mean from the last few years have you seen a Hamilton, a Rosberg or even a Grosjean? I haven't.
4-wide finish to the Indy Lights race at Indianapolis - Peter Dempsey takes his first win by 0.0026!
Edit: Carlos Munoz, in 4th, was 0.044 away from victory.
Also, Johny Cecotto Jr has been barred from racing for the rest of the weekend.
