If this is all true its very freaky that we've had another drive hit by flying debris so soon again

Psycho Ned · 25 Jul 2009 at 14:10

Jesus Christ that was nasty :eek:

Freak accident.

Blimey. He's lucky not to have got his legs crushed.

Stormrider · 25 Jul 2009 at 14:11

Just got the replay. Looks like he definitely got hit by something.

utajoker · 25 Jul 2009 at 14:11

the crash didnt look that fast, i bet the impact from the debris was worse than the crash.

olv · 25 Jul 2009 at 14:11

Poor lad. That was a massive impact. Glad he's ok though.

But people who have seen the replay are saying the onscreen telemetry graphics showed he went in full throttle and never attempted to brake.

He's definetly braking, the tyres are locked up as he goes in.

Speculation is pointless. We will hear what's happening when it's officially known.

Ah, there's the replay! Interesting to hear the commentators continuing to cover the standard video feed - but the producer cut them off and went back to Jake.

Very poor show from the BBC to be so conservative.

Thats insane.. so unlucky for that to be flying down the track and crack you in the face..

Amazing that he had any consciousness to actually try and pump the brakes..

By the way he looked (arms waving) coming out of the ambulance, it reminded me when I saw a UFC figher after suffering a heavy concussion. His head movement from the hit was pretty vicious, so I hope its just some concussion!

Hope he gets well, but would say its very unlikely he will be racing this weekend!

As pointless as any discussion....

Jeeze, nothing wrong with discussing what we think has happened?

utajoker · 25 Jul 2009 at 14:17

hamilton doesnt need pole, 3rd will do with a kers start.

think webber or alonso will get it

So unlucky to be hit, Seems like he had just enough consciousness left to slow the car down a bit. I think he was fighting to keep himself from being completly knocked out!

thepharcyde · 25 Jul 2009 at 14:18

looked like a wheel bolt

Stormrider · 25 Jul 2009 at 14:20

and live timing is gone...

Psycho Ned · 25 Jul 2009 at 14:20

Good time for the timing screens to mess up!

Mr Jack · 25 Jul 2009 at 14:20

Argh! Live Timings down!
