The Michael Waltrip of Single seater racing strikes again

That's some big junk.

Here's the video of that obvious wreck.

Video of said big junk, with English commentary.

Now I seem to wonder why GP2 races at Monaco are complete crashfests.

Cecotto has been suspended from the sprint race. About damn time, I say. Though I still think we would be better off if they banned him from all racing forever.

I think they are about a race late to do that

Cold brakes, Cold tires and no run off. How Cecotto's brain works is a mystery. In other news, a pigeon does a backflip...

Cecotto going Full Bodine.

Pigeon? We should call that the Edwards Bird!

We really need a booing emoticon.

Nice weather forecast

Rosberg on the pole once again, and an all Mercedes front-row once again as well.

Vettel to win I think.

BBC not showing one of the top 4 races of the year live.

Are they instead showing a 90-minute kickball match?

This is what the BBC seems to think is necessary to show.
-Countryfile
-Helicopter Heroes
-Bargain Hunt
-Points of View-Jeremy Vine offers viewers the opportunity to voice their opinions on BBC TV programmes.
-Escape to the Country
-Songs of Praise
-RHS Chelsea Flower Show

WTF BBC! WE HAVE ITV3 FOR SHOWS THAT OLD PEOPLE WANT TO WATCH! I think I need to go on the Points of View program.

Here's the actual link to the crash.


I'm glad the wreck was nothing as serious as what happened to Massa back in Hungary in '09, considering he's been dialing in good runs this year.

Sorry for the double post but NBCSN is showing the Senna documentary right now!!

Race one of the day about to begin!

Whooo, happy Superbowl Sunday for Race fans

I'm not sleeping until the end of the 500!

LETS GET THIS STARTED!

A Marussia already crapped out. Bianci it appears

Somewhat clean start!

How often does an engine blow in F1?

Because Charles Pic's just did.

Whoever Martin Brundle's BBC commentating partner got all excited by a replay. Nice to know he loves his job

Brundle's at Sky Sports F1 now, so I'm guessing that was David Croft...

Holy crap, Massa. Hard lick.

Massa does the exact same thing that he did in FP3.

Australian telecast calls it BBC

Same Driver, Same Place, Two Days in a row. What are the odds?

Ow!

Massa has a neck brace on. Hopefully that's precautionary and not a sign of something worse.

It isn't. Britain now has two F1 broadcasters: BBC, which is only doing 9 live races this year, and Monaco isn't one of them, and Sky Sports F1, which just started up last year, and where Brundle moved to so he could get some of that Murdoch coin.

I love seeing the McLaren's not playing nice!

Maldonado with a hard hit now.

Red flag?!

Jesus Christ, Chilton. Mirrors. Use them...

Looks like the barrier is trying to hide Maldonaldo's car like it's evidence

That was a big hit.

NBC Commentators said it was Max Chilton.

Bet your ass he's getting busted big time for that... Not that it matters since he drives a Marussia.

This race has been getting more and more interesting as the laps go by. Monaco is definitely the last place you want to see tire barriers block the track. Everyone's lucky that this didn't happened towards the front of the field. I'm sure we'll be expecting a penalty for Max Chilton for blocking Maldonado like that.

That's the problem with pay drivers.

Ice cream time for Kimi now?
Anyway, great race so far.

Hard hit by Maldonado. What were you doing, Chilton?

Get out Chilton!

Maldolan in a big wreck not of his own doing. Not sure if i can comprehend this.

Here's an interesting question:

How much is left on the time limit? I wonder if that's going to make some guys more aggressive than they would normally be.

Because of the red flag, the 2 hour time limit is now around 10:30, not around 10:00 (all times eastern)

Damn, Sergio has no fear at Nouvelle. Why do I have this feeling that, once the McLaren is finally a winning car again, he's gonna blow Button away?
