Horror Crash at Canadian GP

[Katsuya]

Oh my god...Kubica's car just got mangled in a crash just now, he seems okay but...that was the worst looking accident I have ever seen in F1...I really hope he's safe...

UPDATE: Kubica's condition has been described as "stable".

And as the safety cars out, Alonso tries to cheat

[wozzi]

Watching the race also and what a race! Fisichella and Massa black flagged also. Hamilton leading, he is on of the few drivers who haven't lost their head at some point. My best goes to Kubica that was a horror crash.

[Katsuya]

This is single handedly one of THE best races, bar Kubica's crash (although he's talking now and fine, it'd appear) ever. Safety Car confusion, the Super Aguri convincingly holding off a FERRARI...everything.

[wozzi]

Sato passes Alonso!

[Lineker]

TAKU.

OVERTAKES.

ALONSO.

Bwahaha. Awesome race.

[Katsuya]

"And uh....Kubica's broken his"

AD BREAK.

Bastards. But...

TAKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!

[YI]

What was it on the Senna scale? With 1-10...with 10 being you know...Senna.

[wozzi]

Kubica broke his leg.

[Jack_Attack]

Yes! Hamilton! Jesus, what a race. Can somebody explain how Alonso tried to cheat when the safety cars came on, because sadly I only caught the last few laps and I'm sort of new to F1.

Sounds fair enough. Glad to meet somebody else who says mam and supports Sunerland.

Hasn't Hamilton never been off the podium?

[Katsuya]

Yeah, they said that Hamilton only knows the way to Parc Ferme (where the top three all go) when he's finished a race.

Oh, and I'd rate it at least a 9 on the Senna scale. He should have died from that crash, but it goes to show how well protected they air that he just broke his leg.

[GA!]

That was the most dramatic race I've ever seen, safety cars, massive crashes, injuries, black flags, the first win of the future World champ - it had everything!

[Lineker]

The broken leg rumour have been confirmed as false.

And XD at Davidson screwing his race by hitting a beaver. Only in Canada.

[Katsuya]

He hit...a beaver? Bwahaha! Actually there was that period where one of the Aguri's suddenly slowed, maybe that was it.

He was doing really well for that stint in between Safety Cars. How Taku did all that, especially after his pits all were royally fucked up. Those passes, especially on Alonso, were some of the best in a long while.

Props to Wurz and Heikki too for managing all that. Wurz was half lucky with SC periods allowing his one stop, but then I remembered the fact his rear wing was broken nearly all through the race. Kovaleinen got from last to fourth though and drove his best race yet. Defenitely the day of the underdogs.

[YI]

Oh man, I need to see this race. It sounds HILARIOUS...and a 9.

I used to be HUGELY into Formula 1, when I was a kid. In the days before Mansell got fat. I cried when Senna crashed...but yeah...sounds like an exciting Grand Prix. Which makes a change to be honest.

I always look at Senna's crash and think of it as a normal looking crash that went so horrifyingly different. Same as Hakkinen in Adelaide. Kubica's crash was incredibly graphic and violent. His head looked like a nodding dog toy, it looked on first glance like his neck was broken to me. I think it rivals that sick crash between Sato and Heidfeld back in Taku's Jordan days.

[Lowerdeck]

That car got pretty disintegrated on that one. Granted, open wheelers generally get disintegrated by simple shit anyway.

That was at least a 7.

[sirdavinator]

Wow, a good race for once and it was shown at 1am. Fuck different timezones.
