lol - Chandok already at it..

KnightStalker · 25 Mar 2011 at 01:31

Chandok is a total pleb.

deko · 25 Mar 2011 at 01:32

Wow, not a good start. To be honest, it kinda looks like the right rear was allready down, which sent him into a spin.

Ceryndrion · 25 Mar 2011 at 01:32

Looks like karun should get back to the commentary box..

ps3ud0 · 25 Mar 2011 at 01:34

How long are the sessions? Might have a look in a bit before the first ends...

ps3ud0 :cool:

KnightStalker · 25 Mar 2011 at 01:34

He gassed it to set off and got wheelspin...simple as that.. rookie mistake

Flibster · 25 Mar 2011 at 01:34

Wow... Race Control on the ball there. Track surface slippery...

90 mins

Didnt seem to light the tyres up, not 100% sure that was his fault.

1:30. Finishes just before 3.

Shimmy · 25 Mar 2011 at 01:35

Looks like a strange one to me, barely any throttle.

Karun said earlier he was not going for lap times but to understand the tyres and the car doing longer runs.

Tweaker · 25 Mar 2011 at 01:36

It is strange, the HRT never turned a wheel last year when Karun took it out, he seemed fine with it then, cant believe he has just done that.

deko · 25 Mar 2011 at 01:37

Despite it's faults, the Mclaren really is a fantastic looking car.
