HE IS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE

He did a massive 180 and huge speed into wall

 

[megateto]

Holy shit, the crash scared the shit out of me!!!

 

[Stop It]

That car is totalled.

Just watched the reply, holy fuck, that should have been on Wipeout HD, not F1! Christ I hope Webber is ok.

 

[Goldrusher]

If this happened at any other corner, he'd be dead.

 

[itxaka]

wow

 

[navanman]

HOLY SHIT THE IN CAR CAMERA

 

[Mush]

That is seriously the biggest crash I've ever seen in F1. That was almost Indy Car like.

Holy fuck.

 

[evlcookie]

Webber doing what webber does.

But still. Holy shit, that looked brutal, Glad he is ok.

 

[Korez]

Jesus Christ Webber :|

 

[Diablohead]

That is seriously the biggest crash I've ever seen in F1. That was almost Indy Car like.

Holy fuck.

Been a while since we seen a big flip like that, I forget which race it was about 9 years ago but there was half the pack wiped out in 2 corners, heavy rain, everyone more or less crashed but it did't have big flips like that.

 

[Benson]

I honestly thought we'd just seen the end of Webber, was amazed when he just jumped out of the car. Really shows how much safer F1 cars are these days!

 

[Goldrusher]

Schumacher just got owned.

 

[Deeku]

Jesus.

Welp, Webber's gone so I'm gonna go take a nap before England v Germany.

 

[Dead Man]

He was still going so fast when he hit the tyres. Jesus. Just driving angry, I think. And Schumi gets fucked by the SC.

 

[navanman]

Really close for Schumi. He nearly made it out in front of the pack.

 

[justjohn]

Wow

 

[Pimpwerx]

That was seriously Indycar-like. It'll keep the American viewers glued to the screen, but it almost gave me a heart attack. That in-car was insane. Glad he was moving and out of the car. Phew.

Someone now explain to me how Hamilton and Vettel stayed out in front at 1-2 eventhough they pitted. PEACE.

 

[Shaneus]

Fuck, just switched over and saw the replay. Was he leading?
That's a massive fucking point loss for him... going to take a herculean effort to work his way back up the points table providing everyone else ahead are DNF free for the rest of the season.

Glad he's okay... that was very Le Mans.

I don't know what the fuck went on at Ferrari's pit but Fernando is 10th right now and Hamilton kept his second position.

Kubica's crash in Canada 3 years ago was probably the last big one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZqBbLyp6oo

 

[itxaka]

lol schumi

 

[n0n44m]

OUCH @ Webber

ouch @ Schumi

but could Mercedes have done anything different there?

 

[Yen]

I remember that, I think only about 8 people finished the race.

 

[navanman]

The in-car camera is INSANE!!

 

[Stop It]

If this happened at any other corner, he'd be dead.

If that happened at Monaco, he may have flew into the crowd.

That worked out well for Button, and horrifically for Alonso, Massa and Schumacher. Down to 11th, 17th and 19th respectively.

Kovalainen with the understatement of the year. Webber ran into him apparently.

 

[Aegus]

Both Lotus's out, and an RBR out. Vettel is my last hope.

 

[Deeku]

Wow, looking at the replay again Mark's really lucky the nose hit the ground first after the flip.

 

[Britprog]

Both Ferrari's lost out big, how come hami and vettel got to the pits so much faster than the ferrari's????

Did they speed under yellows?

 

[navanman]

Who is leading the race now??

 

[Dead Man]

Fuck, just switched over and saw the replay. Was he leading?

Glad he's okay... that was very Le Mans.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9EU8JH03gE

Was thinking of that exactly. Biggest crash for a while, since Kubica's at least.

And yeah, no idea what happened in all the stops.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Fuck me. When Webber was upside down in the air... Ugh.

 

[S. L.]

Webber smh
he thought Kov would just make space as if he were lapping him

 

[Pimpwerx]

The in-car camera is INSANE!!

You could play the Daytona USA soundtrack for the in-car view. When he gets airborn "Bru, bru skies." :lol I can laugh now after that scare. PEACE.

 

[Mush]

I honestly thought we'd just seen the end of Webber, was amazed when he just jumped out of the car. Really shows how much safer F1 cars are these days!

It really does. 10 years ago and Webber would have been dead.

 

[hamchan]

That crash....woooow.

Glad Webber survived.

 

[Britprog]

Who is leading the race now??

1 Vet 2 Ham 3. Kob (yet to pit)4. but

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

It's amazing Webber was unharmed. When I saw it happening I was convinced it would be very serious.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Are we all having a collective head-scratch at the race order? Still amazed Vettel and Hammy came out 1-2 and Button jumped the Ferraris. How? PEACE.

 

[Dead Man]

It really does. 10 years ago and Webber would have been dead.

Yeah, Schumi broke his legs badly with a similar impact years ago.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Webber's reaction to the crash was completely the opposite to how epic the crash was :O

You'd have thought he had an engine blow out, and not flipped completely inside out at high speed and crashed head first into a wall

 

[navanman]

Vettel fucked a tyre with that.

 

[Pimpwerx]

LOL! Vettel gets it sideways into the hairpin, and Lewis backs off. I think he's lost enough noses to that Red Bull today. PEACE.

 

[itxaka]

Are we all having a collective head-scratch at the race order? Still amazed Vettel and Hammy came out 1-2 and Button jumped the Ferraris. How? PEACE.

I do.

 

[Harry_Tequila]

Jesus, thought Webber was done for. Amazing how he immediately chucked the steering wheel out as if nothing had happened.

 

[Dead Man]

Vettel gets away with it! :lol I find myself conflicted, I don't want Hammy or Vettel to win...

Webber's reaction to the crash was completely the opposite to how epic the crash was :O

You'd have thought he had an engine blow out, and not flipped completely inside out at high speed and crashed head first into a wall

Meh, he's been seen that before, old news for him!

 

[Shaneus]

Webber smh
he thought Kov would just make space as if he were lapping him

Should have. Lotus vs. RBR? Blocking was pointless and as we saw, incredibly fucking dangerous. Don't know what Kovi thought he'd gain out of it.

 

[Diablohead]

Kubica's crash in Canada 3 years ago was probably the last big one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZqBbLyp6oo

AH yes forgot about that, looked deadly that one.

 

[megateto]

What did Fernando just say to his engineer?

 

[Britprog]

It was odd that alonso was behind hami before the SC yet he pitted allot later than Hami.

This is very interesting

 

[Pimpwerx]

Kobayashi is gonna stack the entire field behind him. Slow ride...take it easy. :lol PEACE.
