I know Webber’s crash was spectacular and reflecting on it now, it seems pretty entertaining, but I remember when watching it I didn’t find it enjoyable. First of all, when I saw the car drifting towards the fence I cringed, but luckily, gravity saved the car from ending up in the spectators area and the subsequent roll was violent, but given the safety regulations, reasonably harmless. The bit that really scared me was how it suddenly became apparent how short the run-off was. I was thinking “Oh dear, that car has just flown completely over the top of the braking zone, now he has got 50m to slow the car down with only 3 wheels on a slippery surface.” When I saw the inevitable impact drawing ever closer, I nearly closed my eyes and turned away! I honestly thought the car was going to go through the tyre barrier and the concrete wall. (Reminded me of Dino Morelli’s F3000 shunt at the Nurburgring in 1997 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIzR78AfQFw)
Nevertheless my top 3 would be:
3: Barrichello in Monaco
2: Trulli and Chandhok in Monaco
1: Kobayashi, Hulkenberg and Buemi in Melbourne
