RIP Jules - in a decent car you would have been up near the front

RIP Jules. First death of a driver as the result of an accident since Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna.

It was Jules's funeral today:

BBC Sport - Jules Bianchi 'would have replaced Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari'

His #17 has been retired by the FIA


& he was destined for Ferrari in the next couple of years. F1 can be a cruel sport sometimes.

Hungary.....'Phew, what a corker!'......

(and how about Pastor (Mr.Penalty) Maldonado)

 

[woborny]

Much better race than usual for Hungary, just because of all the incidents.
Shamilton seems to have lots his "cool" today, penalties and mistakes all over the joint...but as usual none of them will be his fault.
At least the safety car did not jeopardize a Ferrari win, just sad Kimi did not finish.
And wow for the McLarens.....

 

[sonnetpete]

but as usual none of them will be his fault.

I don't know, he was taking the blame for his performance over the radio and in a BBC interview after...

...but as usual none of them will be his fault.

Disagree I heard him apologize over the radio to his team for his errors

 

[woborny]

The way I heard it, I thought he was apologising for his poor performance, but not for his bumps and crashes.

Sad to see ex F1 driver Justin Wilson is critically ill after an accident at the Pocono Raceway.

A car crashed in front of him and it appears the nosecone hit him on the head

Back in the 70's (when I went to Croft Autodrome regularly) Doug Niven ran a Beetle with a 5 litre Chevvy :
