[WattsDanny]

[Fuckdencio]

0:36 = the car is peeing.. a lot!!!

[smoglessbutton4]

Can't believe he walked away unhurt. WOW...

[AmbientMaster]

@smoglessbutton4

Me neither o.O

[gp4nut]

to be fair, his speed at the tire wall was almost nothing. seems like all the tyres stripping off shed him a load of speed. pretty crazy how unstable a car becomes without wheels!

[TittyTittyBangBangXX]

Is the race car ok??

[Rosvolainen]

This is one of the times when the car and the driver comes together as one. The car peed and the driver shit his pants.

[pf810073]

0:37 the car peed

[saintsrulz]

local yellow

Webber and Kovalainen training video!Buy it for 9,99 and you get also Super Crash DVD Collection number 1!AND thats not all!!! You get three posters of Formula 1 In Monza!!! :D

[peterdaviesracing]

At least Danny has a good visible helmet. Apart from the fact he supports the Oxford United, I heard his helmet is a reference to another famous driver(Senna?). Is that true? Has Danny ever stated which other driver his helmet resembles to?

Lucky to walk away from this, could have been worse.

[leonardodesouza91]

@peterdaviesracing 0:49, from the look of the side of the helmet this desing was used by Ricardo Patrese, but Danny used yellow instead of white.

[peterdaviesracing]

@leonardodesouza91 Thanks, although I found that out already:) But it's true that Danny took the base design of Patrese's helmet, I don't know why him though.

Kovi didn't do anything to anyone, Webber crashed into his back and so did Watts.

Desperate to pass he saw a gap that wasn't there.

This bit of blocking was frustrating but legit, he wasn't weaving on the straight or anything, just positioning his car for the successive sweeps.

It's the nature of the cars that turned a bump and perhaps spin into a launch and huge accident.

[hamiltonfan4eva]

@christosswc +1

[DVDFerrari5]

0:37 car goin pee

[Chihuahuaman2]

unhurt? he was limping

[tdonohuel]

first this and now webber????

[Awesome21ish]

did anyone notice the car did a piss 0:35

[9999faill]

bit similar to brundles crash in 96

[zepiti1]

It was surprising to see the engine next to the car...

[stogsville]

He has gone for the gap WHAT GAP!

[Ferrariman601]

He is sooooooooo lucky! He could have easily had his head hit on the tyre barriers.

[Khabibulin3935]

Glad to see that open wheel racing are starting to have bumpers behind those wheels so these nasty wrecks won't happen. These bumpers will be on the Indy Cars in 2012. And this is how Dan Wheldon died (RIP). Now F1, Formula Ford, Formula Mazda, and Formula Renault need to add these bumpers, it will really make a difference in racer safety.

[dirkthes2s]

Anyone who knows the track also knows that there is no way over overtaking in that corner. It can't work...

[hamiltonlegend24]

was this before the one move rule then? that is not good defensive driving that is just downright dangerous

[dienkonig33]

@hamiltonlegend24

1. This is Formula Renault not F1. So the rules that exist in F1 mean nothing here.

2. The video is 10 years old, so yes.

3. Danny shouldn't have been up his gearbox into the braking zone itself, He left himself no space

[AzrulMotorsports]

2001 - Hekki Kovalainen and Danny Watts ( Formula Renault )

2010 - Hekki Kovalainen and Mark Webber ( Formula 1 )

[XpessMusic]

KOVALAINEN!! From Finland (:

[Ladju24]

We see the difference between a formula one track and a normal track.

[BikerBonno]

Jeeesus, that crash just got worse and worse!

[royclung]

he paid for that agressive move, not a smart trick. Danger driver !

[hariel]

I wouldn't say, that Kovaleinen's blocking was legitimate. He moved to the right under braking...

[xxOuTaLuCKxx]

not f1

[xxxn7zxxx]

take this mobil1 !!!!!

[YourAverageTeenGuy]

That move was never on in a million years!!!!

[ursuss100]

Dang Kova, WTF ???? Ridiculous move to block like that...

[TrenosUK]

@ursuss100

Madness...

[SmeurkeDeKat]

Fuel? Oil? Even hydraulics? Sheesh, never heard of coolant? It's the only non-flammable clear fluid that could squirt from the engine department with such force without the engine running.

[autosave]

Danny nice guy and bloody good driver, as good as any of them.

[psychomantic2]

that was scary

[Bobobidodo]

Crazy stuff! His own doing if anyones to blame of course, but these guys are so competitive he would never hand backed away from Heikki in a million years XD

[sultanabran1]

That is ridiculous! So glad he walked from that. You forget how fast even these cars are until someone flies off the road.

[DavidHope69]

Unbelievable that Danny walked out of that.

[pandymoose]

What year is this? Why isn't he wearing a HANS device?

[chainsore]

heikki's career is over hes stuck in a crap lotus car

[Jbirtwisle]

was that the car oor the driver pissing itself at 0:34?

[zacho6661]

@Jbirtwisle oil or petrol leak

[reiny6474]

@zacho6661 maybe even hydraulics

[Awesome21ish]

yjats amazing how he was ok

[SteamRacer]

Heh, Heikki Kovalienen and Colin Braun (NASCAR driver) in the same race... Well I never.

[Exseigee]

urm im suprised to not see it being ingulft with flames because you can see petrol spilling out of the car.

[nr2002vidz]

@Exseigee

for there to be a flame you first need a spark

[alanarnold26]

Wow. Love the last few seconds where he just walks away looking like he's pranged it slightly

[skycvg]

the guy in front of watts was an idiot

[AndySpeed88]

@skycvg Who now races for Lotus in Formula 1!....

[breaderb16lag]

@AndySpeed88 And did the same thing to Webber in Valencia 2 weeks ago!

[coleseum1]

@breaderb16lag that was a missunderstanding from both drivers!

[breaderb16lag]

@coleseum1 I was only joking dude. Ive got huge respect for Kovalainen as a driver.

[WhuBilly10]

@breaderb16lag yeah but this crash was a tiny bit more violent

[mijntuber]

@breaderb16lag No! If you study that crash, it was Mark Webber who was following Kovalainen's every move to get in his slipstream. They even had that controversial hand operated F-duct system back then for less air-resistance/more top-speed. Mark's car is then sucked towards the Lotus faster than Mark expected and he had one hand of the steering wheel to operate the F-duct. Kovalainen was legitimized to defend cause it was a fight for position. It was a miscalculation by Mark not by Heikki!

[ziomkris1]

@AndySpeed88 and in Valencia confirmed that Red Bull gives you wings xD

[sesselfurzer2000]

@skycvg no he just blocked his line. He may do that there were no chance for Watts to overtake him. So this was legal of Kovalainen.

[F1guitarfanatic927]

@skycvg that was perectly legal blocking, it also goes down to it being extremely difficult to pass someone on the straights at oulton park. Oh and that was Heikki Kovaleinen, who drives for Team Lotus in F1

[skycvg]

@F1guitarfanatic927 Yes i know its legal but thats why you have MIRRORS!

[Hannoi]

wow

[mikeyh55]

Fook!
