Watching the Sutil crash anyone else wonder if it was brake problems or for perhaps the fault of the ferrari in front of him which he seems to be quite close to casuing him to brake hard??
Hmmm, now why am I praying for a wet race tommorow just to mix things up  |
Hamilton said himself in the interview afterwards that even if it wasn't red flagged, he wouldn't have done much better. He knew he wouldn't get through to Q2.
Sutil's crash was possibly the worst of the season so far? Like Coulthard said, he was going through the gravel trap...wouldn't you slam on the breaks to try and not hit the barrier? Sutil's wheels weren't locked, at least they weren't on the right hand side, suggesting that there was a break failure.
Rain would just be fun to watch!
Edit; Just seen this on ITV's F1 page. Confirms break failure.
