Maybe then he would go back to driving like he was before the first hit in the head.

I'm pretty sure he's the same old Massa. Alonso is just in a different league.

Some one please fill me in, it sounds like I missed a lot of good action!

Looks like he had a suspension failure at the top of the hill, had a couple big hits, then threw his steering wheel from the car in anger.

Yeah, onto the track, where Karun Chandok promptly ran right over it.

And later, Jarno Trulli ran over Karun Chandok.

Yeah I cringed when I saw that. The way Trulli's rear tire grazed right over Chandok's head???

Yeah... open cockpit cars are inherently dangerous when it comes to stuff like that!

I'm just mad they didn't do that a few laps earlier so we could have a green flag finish.

I thought that there was a fine if you don't replace the steering wheel when you leave the car on the track.

[m4a1mustang]

He might have ended up putting it back on... TV might not have showed that part.

But yeah, it's about a $10k fine.

From the news reports on this:
In his defence, Barrichello said: “I threw the steering wheel because I wanted to get out of the car as soon as possible. After the shunt I was facing the wrong side of the track and the car was on fire.”

The Brazilian was defended by Williams co-owner Patrick Head: "If you are standing in the middle of a 120mph corner, you tend to think 'let's get out of here as quickly as you can'."

Barrichello hasn't received any fine for the incident.

^^^ i was going to say soemthing along those lines... plus on his defense as well he threw it close to the car.. the thing then bounced 1 meter further into the track.

I don't understand why Merc pulled their appeal... I think they were in the right with the pass if the track went green.

[Chupacabra]

because the Rules say no.

Article 40.13 of the Sporting Regulations, which states that “if the race ends whilst the safety car is deployed it will enter the pit lane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking."

^^ clear as water...


plus Michael is a traitor.

Ferrari forced him out to make way for Kimi (and MS didn't want to make Massa give up his seat). They can f*ck themselves.
