That angle he hit the corner at Turn 2. SAFER probably saved his life there.
No YT stream for qualifying. There will be a gif/tweet with the crash footage soon.

Geez and Bourdais was a full 1mph faster at the time, he was really pushing it.

Thanks that works.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
That was a lot like the Smiley crash... eerily similar.
The difference in the safety of the cars is so hugely apparent.
Nobody would have survived that crash years ago.

Not a lot of people know this, but the SAFER barrier is an IndyCar innovation.
Shit me.

Nice run by Takuma Sato, fastest thus far.

I mean it when I say this: Carpenter is really good at only turning left.

The Hondas really have the advantage. Aside from Carpenter's team, all the Chevys seem down on power.

All things considered, only a fractured hip and pelvis is a good outcome. I hope he recovers well, an impact like that even 20 years ago would've been deadly.

Shame about the crash and injuries, because SeaBass had great start to the season with victory and 2nd place. Then he was taken out in first lap accident at Phoenix, suffered engine failure few laps into Indianapolis GP and now is out for at least the rest of this season. Hopefully he'll be back.

Couldn't watch quali live yesterday, but I'm glad Sebastien is ok, and that Alonso made it to Fast 9.
So, just so I'm clear, this is green flag at 4pm UK time, right?

If my conversions are correct, it's 3pm UK time.
EDIT: Actually yeah, green flag is an hour later at 4pm.

This is how today's qualifying is scheduled:
The qualifying session to determine positions 10-33 runs from 2:45pm ET to 4:45pm ET.
At 5:00pm ET there is a 45 minute qualifying session for the fast 9 to determine the top 9 starting positions.
An hour later than the times you posted in the OP? Because we're not on GMT at the moment, we're on BST (which is GMT+1), which is why I wanted to double check!

If only Swatch Internet time caught on. The race broadcast starts at 4pm BST and the actual start of the race should be 45 minutes to an hour later. Sorry for the confusion.
Would have to think so.
Will be interesting to see how Nando gets on with a new engine in there.
Yeh, I hope they tightened all the bolts on that new installation.

Provisional pole for Alonso at 231.3mph!

Alonso just qualified
.
first with a speed of 231.300
He should be in the 2nd row pretty easily with that run, might be front row. Don't think it's good enough for pole.
