Hamilton won’t get a penalty, because friday engines are different from 3rd/4th practice and race engines. So he is still good for qualifying

It doesn’t appear like Massa has any problems with
TC ban.

aspect ratio is wrong, so it’s even more exaggerated.
Can anyone suggest a video sharing site that supports widescreen? I thought youtube did

Thanks Daniel for the link. It does appear to be a very strange accident. The car is just sliding on the sand as if it were ice. Hamilton is yet to learn the technique of taking hands off steering just before an impact. If he continues like this, he will hurt his wrists pretty badly very soon.

Kimi went out for a quick lap but was baulked by Lewis’s accident as his flying lap encountered yellow flags… he therefore only just managed to pop in a lap that beat the earlier time of Felipe… he then carried on for quite a few laps on his soft tyres….
Felipe came out at the last moment and did one flying lap with no traffic and went in …. so I’d love to know the respective fuel loads…..
