[dakun]

Holy shit

 

[Juicy Bob]

Holy shit.

 

[Caboose]

Kimi escapes decapitation

 

[Caramello]

Wow

 

[Goldrusher]

Nasty side-impact for Alonso there.

 

[DieH@rd]

Alonso touched Kimi?

edit - Stevens also out

 

[ElTorro]

That will reignite the closed cockpit discussions.

 

[Humidex]

Did Fernando tap Kimi at the back?

 

[Massa]

Wow, Kimi could have lost a hand there.

 

[Dilly]

Those were some shitty replay angles.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Kimi was so lucky.

 

[TCRS]

jesus fucking christ kimi

ericsson early start

kvyat new nose, manor car out

[Xando]

That was more action in the first lap than the whole canadian GP.

 

[dakun]

Alonso touched Kimi?

edit - Stevens also out

Looks like he did.

 

[Ark]

Looks like Kimi just lost it to me.

 

[ElTorro]

Alonso touched Kimi?

Did Fernando tap Kimi at the back?

Unclear. Either Alonso touched him, or Kimi lost the rear under acceleration.

 

[ConstructMe]

Kimi fuck off you stupid old cunt

 

[jey_16]

I think kimi dropped it

 

[Xun]

Well, that was quick!

Alonso sadly didn't stand a chance this weekend anyway.

General admission is fine at Spa

There are huge sections where you can stand...

I myself have got a Friday grandstand seat and general admission for Saturday and Sunday...

You can order at www.spagrandprix.com , the official circuit website...

Here is a map of the circuit with where you can stand... http://www.spagrandprix.com/modules/pages/app_themes/default/images/acces-map.pdf

Pro tip: bring clothes for every possible weather... it can be very hot, very cold, very wet at Spa during a weekend

Thanks very much!

Unclear. Either Alonso touched him, or Kimi lost the rear under acceleration.

Goddamn helicopter replays...always looking up front!

 

[dakun]

A sauber started early in the back

 

[TCRS]

gif of kimis cockpit view please?

 

[ElTorro]

If it turns out to be Kimi's fault, I wonder whether he will blame the torque map.

 

[Ruruja]

Just show Alonso's onboard, good grief.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Just show Alonso's onboard, good grief.

yes, seriously.

 

[Mokubba]

I still can't tell.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Can't tell if Alonso was on the outside trying to avoid Kimi or if there was contact.

Weird because he initially went right

 

[Mohonky]

Kimi drunk at the wheel again.

Alonso thinking well atleast I wont blow an engine this weekend.

 

[Business]

Seems like Kimi lost traction or somebody touched him before the final impact with Alonso.

 

[Ganzlinger]

I can't see if there was a contact or if Kimi just lost control

 

[nature boy]

Just show Alonso's onboard, good grief.

I know, WTF they have their onboard footage. Just show it.

 

[Pimpwerx]

No onboard of Alonso? Doesn't ever car have a camera these days? How is there such a huge blindspot for this incident? PEACE.

 

[dakun]

So let's see if Rosberg can pull a gap like Hamilton always does to avoid drs. If not he'll be a sitting duck

 

[Ark]

Shouldn't have much lift & coast this race as a result of this safety car at least.

 

[freakzilla149]

OMG hurry UP. WTF

 

[aspiegamer]

If it turns out to be Kimi's fault, I wonder whether he will blame the torque map.

US commentators theorizing this. Seemed to lose it upon putting the power down out of turn 2 and he would have had zero stability in the front. Need more replays though.

Ferrari admitted it the mapping was wrong last time. Not saying Kimi should know better and he should be able to cope with this stuff, since, well, he should.

 

[Mohonky]

I thought Button had to start back in Canada due to his penalties?

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Hasney]

OMG hurry UP. WTF

Yeah, fuck making sure there's no debris for punctures and that it's safe to race. Fuck them, right?

I thought Button had to start back in Canada due to his penalties?

He did. He had even more for this race.

 

[ConstructMe]

F1 needs alonso, already i feel like switching off now.

 

[ElTorro]

He is counter-steering twice. Looks more like he lost the rear.

 

[TCRS]

button slow

all my sides

 

[Tempy]

Honda...

 

[tomtom94]

No onboard of Alonso? Doesn't ever car have a camera these days? How is there such a huge blindspot for this incident? PEACE.

If I remember correctly (because this was brought up in the Bianchi incident as well), every car has an onboard camera but because they can only co-opt so many frequencies for sending signals to the TV studios I think only eight of the cameras are active at any one time.

 

[Hasney]

F1 needs alonso, already i feel like switching off now.

Why? So you can see a thrilling battle with a Marussia or an engine dying like Buttons is now already?

 

[olore]

Both McLaren`s gone... after eight laps? Wow

 

[Kyougar]

man that honda sounds BAD
