Sergio Perez is out of the car for the rest of the weeked. Said he didn't feel confident and comfortable. Sounds still shaken from his accident in Monaco.

Replaced by McLaren's reserve driver - Pedro de la Rosa.

At least he's man enough to admit he's not 100% for this weekend, should be funny seeing pedro cart about.. (well gives everyone in quali a breather as he wasnt the best qualifier if I remember...)

LOL! de la Rosa will be wearing his McLaren overalls.

I have been wandering about the custom seat he'll need.

Does Sauber have one of his old seats kicking about they can modify?
Can they modify the McLaren one to fit?
Can they make one on site?
Will he be able to use one of the existing driver seats?

They're carbon fibre and taken from casts of the drivers back/bum while sat in the chassis.

His crash was exactly the same as Ivan Capelli in 1992 in the Ferrari.

Ouch, big hit

utajoker · 10 Jun 2011 at 20:16

looks like they mite have to change hamiltons floor aswell due to either the puncture causing damage or some debris.

tho it sounds like the have fixed it with some tape

Westyfield2 · 10 Jun 2011 at 20:17
