I am no automotive engineer, but I am fairly sure this is not meant to happen  ???

Blimey!

You can see why the cameraman ducked!

Because no one was injured, it looked very funny, though...

And he was steering even though he had no wheels...

Flight restrictions - Surely yet another example of massive over-reaction
I know about the Captain Moody BA flight in 198X in the Indonesia area, but that plane flew through the middle of the main cloud ..

Aint right ...

Just my opinion Hedge      - Swine Flu - Massive expensive, over-reaction,  now reluctantly admitted by those in power.

Being in the insurance industry (you), I accept that you may see the other side with more clarity ... :)

Freakin awesome race!!, best so far this year! A lot of hair raising passes!!

Watching Lewis drive through the field is just mesmerizing. I'm in awe.

Congrats McLaren and Jenson, 1-2!!

OK race, well done to those Renaults again, just hope they can get a real consistent run/set up with Bob Kubica.

Yet still they wasted an opportunity and insisted on including him in the broadcast.

Fantastic race today in fact 3 out of 4 have been belters.  Hands up who thought Jenson would be showing Lewis the way  this year, 3-1 in qually same in races iirc !

Outstanding race!

Loved it. No way is Alonso's pass not going to cause repercussions. Brilliant drives by Button and Hamilton.

Thanks Feisty for keeping that quiet today - great way to end an excellent day watching that on DVR.

I'll leave the extended-lensed one to put up a Long Beach thread!

I'd say JB is the 2nd most suprising/impressive driver of the year thus far, behind Kubica.
