It's quite impressive to hit that part of the barrier!

McNish is not allow to go out agian today according to Toyota team radio. Should be OK for tomorrow.

Sato san · 12 Oct 2002, 04:47 (Ref:401719)

simuar to herberts accident back in 96 /...tank slapper !

i just cant beleive he walked away from that one...thank goodness.

J.McClane · 12 Oct 2002, 04:48 (Ref:401720)

Yeah, he has some pain in his knee, but other than that he is ok.

Sato san · 12 Oct 2002, 04:49 (Ref:401721)

45 mins til re start ....ive never seen a car go through a barrier like that

J.McClane · 12 Oct 2002, 04:50 (Ref:401722)

Did some big damage to that barrier though, seein' as they are suposed to stop the car.

**Adam43** · 12 Oct 2002, 04:51 (Ref:401723)

45 minutes, crickey. I might go back to bed.

Montoya had jammied an extra lap!

Along with a few others.

**Adam43** · 12 Oct 2002, 04:54 (Ref:401724)

Kimi, Ralf, Salo, Massa, Heidfeld and Button, and Webber all get an extra lap too.

However, it has still doesn't help Kimi, Ralf adn Heidfeld. They have all done 5 laps. That's 8 left with the extra lap. Not enough.

All the others mentioned have done 6 laps, so they have 7 left.

J.McClane · 12 Oct 2002, 04:55 (Ref:401725)

They are gonna have to rebuild the barrier before they can restart.

The race will probaly just be startin' by the time they do that.

**Adam43** · 12 Oct 2002, 04:56 (Ref:401726)

I bet ITV are loving this. Will it delay Corrie

Damon reckons that it looked like McNish had the 'classic' lots of understeer that snapped to oversteer on exit. So no evidence for mechanical failure yet. Seems sensible.

Sato san · 12 Oct 2002, 04:57 (Ref:401727)

Gary Anderson has just said that McNish coud have pulled 60 or 70 G in that accidnet .

How brave are these guys .

**Adam43** · 12 Oct 2002, 04:58 (Ref:401728)

Cool little chat between Jacques and Anthony. I think Jacques was quite impressed with the crash.

Lauda is enjoying his expresso and chatting with Flav. (Renault to supply Jag with engines?

They have just shown Sid - Legend!

Sato san · 12 Oct 2002, 04:59 (Ref:401729)

although John Watson said he noticed the right rear tyre look like it had some movement in it?..I think Damon is right .

Sato san · 12 Oct 2002, 05:00 (Ref:401730)

always worries me that Sid likes a tot of whiskey before a session....

J.McClane · 12 Oct 2002, 05:02 (Ref:401731)

Goes to show how safe the cars are now.
I have seen crashes that havn't looked no where near as bad, but the driver has been seriously injured......or worse.

**Adam43** · 12 Oct 2002, 05:03 (Ref:401732)

Peter has a theory about power steering, but I prefer Damon's.

Sid probably needs a whisky if he is going to see accidents like that! At least he doesn't drive the medical car.

J.McClane · 12 Oct 2002, 05:05 (Ref:401733)

They are doin' a decent job of rebuildin' that barrier, maybe the wait won't be so long.

Sato san · 12 Oct 2002, 05:06 (Ref:401734)

this must affect the other drivers...a accident like that must worry them surey ?

Sato san · 12 Oct 2002, 05:11 (Ref:401735)

i like peter windsor alot. The guy talks a lot of sense...it amazed me that he said the reason they banned the power steering was because the teams were getting near to the point where the cars could automatically correct oversteer !

Unbeleivable

but i stil go for Damons theory.

Valve Bounce · 12 Oct 2002, 05:12 (Ref:401736)

Can somebody post us a pic of what's left of the Toyota, please

Valve

Sato san · 12 Oct 2002, 05:18 (Ref:401738)

if you havent see it yet Valve.....It has basically got not alot left behind the drivers head area.....the engine and gearbox took the full brunt....150mph in the air about 3 ft off the ground backwards into the armco.

chrisgr31 · 12 Oct 2002, 05:20 (Ref:401741)

Delay Corrie? They haven't even delayed the cartoons!

**Adam43** · 12 Oct 2002, 05:24 (Ref:401744)

Salo says McNish was 10kph up on his previous lap. It looks like he just ran wide.

They have checked there is nothing wrong with the car. Salo said he has had hit that part of the wall in F3000 ("but I didn't go over the barrier).

Hart: Should it be changed?
Salo: No, there aren't enough challenging corners. They have to keep corners like this in F1, that's what it's all about - balls.

Sato san · 12 Oct 2002, 05:24 (Ref:401745)

O MY GOD !,,,sky have just shown onboards of all the drivers going through 130R.....i thought Jacques was brave as he was practically flat.......

.....until i see onboard Takuma Sato !...completeley flat with mid corner oversteer !....MID CORNER OVERSTEER WITH FOOT TO THE FLOOR IN THE MIDDLE OF 130R AT 180MPH !

That guy is so brave...what a awesome clip !

Are they going to go back to it?

**Adam43** · 12 Oct 2002, 05:28 (Ref:401748)

Dave Richards sayd that Jacques has raised the lack of protection at the barrier several times before.
