What did he say?

First accident - "no idea what happened - just moved over and bang.."
Second incident - "going slowly under cold tyres and just went off"

Complete cow manure!

Gearbox failure for Sato.

Karthikeyan in the medical centre. Better to be safe.

Good job it's not the USA - they would send him home with a broken vertebrae...

ive got a no. of bets on this race. I need Button to finish in the points, and Alonso and Kimi to finish on the podium.

"Was a pretty big impact"

The crash bars on the left side of the car are gone. It doesn't get much bigger that than tbh...

"You must have felt that one"

No he completely failed to notice the lack of nose, rear corner and small fire!

Easy tigers!

Karthy says he's ok. Thats good.

So - now's a good time to ask this

Which of the rookies do you want to see back next year?

NIck Fry is not a happy bunny as Webber dropped back 20 car lengths instead of the allowed 5...

Wants a penalty now - Stewards are going to look at it after the race.

Personally I'd like to see Albers, Monteiro and Karthikeyan back in a testing role.

Karthikeyan is getting old now though - he's 34 iirc

Klein does a fastest lap! Good for him!

Flibster · 16 Oct 2005 at 08:24

Klien does the fastest lap so far - 1:33.727 on lap 43

Joe T · 16 Oct 2005 at 08:24

Kimi is 11.5 seconds behind Alonso

Joe T · 16 Oct 2005 at 08:25

Massa pits

Flibster · 16 Oct 2005 at 08:25

Massa pits on lap 45

Barrichello runs wide at the hairpin and Webber and Button pass - coulthard tries but isn't quick enough.
