Renault F1 Dubai (Clanger!!)

Turned out to be worth the wait.

1st car broke so we waited 2 hours for the replacement.....only to have MBS stuff it into the wall after 100yds.


















And then....

I believe MBS walked away from it but was taken for a medical check.

I think the interweb expressions is:

"EPIC FAIL!"

The Ford GT was doing quite a good job of it too!

I'd given up waiting and gone home. Balls.

Ouch! - sounded like a gear change follwed by a rapid direction change.

Thanks Dan and Phil for capturing it. I was in the pit garages and heard an almighty screaming followed by a thwack, and the ARM team all rushed across to the pit wall to see debris strewn across the track.

I know this sounds awful, but the only thing going through my head was "st, I missed it". Does anyone know if MBS is OK?

[PhillT]

Yep, he's fine.
