Force India confirm - 1 mechanic with smoke inhalation.

1 confirmed with burns is Barney who was working on the fuel rig - pulled out by Sky cameraman.

2 others in the medical centre.

Would have been a good race if the FIA had n't done their best to cripple the chances of the favorite winning just to try and get a spanish winner on home soil.

Hammy got the punishment he should off, it's the only punishment stewards can give for that infringement.

Footage of the fire on Sky now, blimey it caught hold quickly :eek:

Flibster · 13 May 2012 at 16:38

Man that caught quickly.

Fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, kers and all sorts of other nasty stuff.

Yes he was wheeled out very quickly as you would expect

King Damager · 13 May 2012 at 16:42

That was a massive fire, impressive they got it out in 2.5/3 minutes.

Hope everyone is ok, and Williams manage to get Senna a new car. I wonder what the insurance bill will be...
