Japanese Grand Prix 2014, Suzuka - Race 15/19

looks like the left side of the car hit the rear of the tractor, think that might be the left rear and the right rear sat next to each other in them pics.

There is no medical helicopter, and it sounds like it never arrived. The regulations say they can't race without it. So someone is in deep trouble.

Sky explained yesterday that thats not entirely true, they can go ahead with the race as long as the traditional road ambulance has a full police escort to the nearest hospital.

I was trying to work out which wheels they are. Whichever the car looks totally destroyed, seriously worrying for Bianchi that the car is that destroyed by hitting a tractor.

Massa complaining that the race started to early and ended too late.
Well, you were on Inters at the end, so you did have another option there.

He really is the whiniest driver out there when it comes to a drop of rain falling 15 miles away from the circuit... It's too wet!

Yep, whining little ****. The early SC could easily have come in four or five laps earlier - the fact that everyone switched to inters within a couple of laps of the SC coming in proves that.

Still maintain that the SC should have been deployed the second the crane came out to recover Sutil's car. Anyone with half a brain could see that all the cars on inters were starting to struggle in the rapidly worsening conditions and that another off was likely but they did nothing.

SC deployment is an utter joke - they're far too over-cautious most of the time then fail to deploy it when it's genuinely needed quickly. Much as I respect Charlie, I want to see some serious questions asked about this.
 
Massa isn't wrong but that is only because that Williams is completely unsuitable in the rain. Massa does tend to complain and not like it but then after an accident like his you'd be a bit over safety conscious as well. But someone in a Merc, a Williams, a Red Bull and a Caterham will all have a different idea on when it's safe to race which shouldn't be a surprise.

The Williams looked the least happy car out there in the rain/on full wets.

Massa is very whiny. He has always been. Probably as he struggles

And exactly. Carry on under yellows when a tractor is on track but wait until inters to start.
It is a hard balancing act. But you are paid for the difficulty of those decisions
