I think we may see a clash of the titans from last season in the race. With alonso on pole and hamilton on the second row as soon as he hits that kers button he is going to be right up on alonso . This may all do button a favour especially brawn as the Red bulls will be behind the two of them.

I think this could be the most exciting first corner ...But after that unless it rains go and have a beer down the pub or else you will fall asleep :rolleyes:

There is the link to a in car shot. As much as you may love to hate him, that's pretty damn unfortunate and i am pretty sure i can say we all hope he pulls through.

Yep, I love to hate him :evil:  but wouldn't wish any bad on him, like this accident.  Hope he gets better soon.

I'm suprised with how technical and almost radio controlled they couldn't of braked the car for him, or at least be able too. In the evnt of things like this. As I'm sure hitting the barrier at 170 didn't help after!
