Re: Breaking news in F1...

looks like from reports that they have saved his hand, he has movement in it ,  I think him and the car would have been a contender 2011.

again looks like he will be out for the year

Bruno Senna being the reserve/test driver may get the seat, but will have to test well.

Kimi   Pedro  or Nick   maybes.   Most teams have the driver sign a non race agreement in other events.

Sure hope Bobby comes back, a great talent !!

Re: Breaking news in F1...

Wow what a huge crash! looks like he got speared by some part of a barrier.

lucky he was not killed!
He will be missed in the 2011 season, he is a great driver to watch. Maybe he will surprise us all and be back before the end of the season..

Re: Breaking news in F1...

Oh my that was horrifying to see that armco going right through the car, front to back no less! I fear Lotus/Renult will be lost without him but maybe Petrov will surprise us. So good to know that he survived the accident and will likely make a full recovery. If he were a cat we'd say that's two lives he's used up because that accident he had in Montreal a few years back in the Sauber was one of the worst I've ever seen. Lucky guy!

Re: Breaking news in F1...

Such a shame for Robert, the Renault/lotus or whatever it is looked pretty good in the first test. I hope he can come back strong next year if not sooner. Did anyone else notice the Force India car looked pretty damned good too?!

Re: Breaking news in F1...

Sutil in the Force India looked impressive, but its all testing, the new tires may suit certain chassis way more than others.

would like to see Quik Nick get the seat, but some remorse if Senna doesn't

Re: Breaking news in F1...

Maybe Bernie should try and organize races in democratic countries instead of giving ridiculously wealthy princes and kings their hobby   hmm 

Anyway, we know for sure we've got one less race with zero chance of rain  wink

Re: Breaking news in F1...

Gary, thanks for the link to hot-trips.blogspot. I really enjoyed the superb photos and I now know how to retrieve the last of the nutella from the jar! I had the pleasure of watching Sean turn those big blocks of EPS into SUP boards a few years ago as he was making them at my place here in Santa Barbara. Great memories!

Re: Breaking news in F1...

Ok so been a bit quiet on this thread. Will have to make some noise!

So here is my grand prediction: This is Lewis's best chance to win a race! In fact i predict he will be on the podium or crash/mechanical out!

It is all down to qualifying. If he can qualify ahead of Seb the race is his to loose.

That should stir some s***
