DO NOT TAKE THE EAU ROUGE WITH A CAR NEXT TO YOU!!!!! Every racing fan knows about that x)

[mk2weber]

@wolfstriked Just to add, this same driver's been mentioned in the latest Autosport mag for crashing into a parked car in the sandtraps of Brands Hatch T1 as a result of not slowing down under waved yellows, reportedly to maintain position. The picture shows David Jacob's car smashing face-first into the parked Radical, narrowly missing the recovery vehicle and a Marshal seemingly on the floor having dived away from said vehicle. The result has been a 12 month ban and license demotion.

A bit of a hasty move, your pretty close to the fella in front and you've got the massive Kemmel straight next to draft past him. *Sits back in armchair ;)

@tohtorigyro Or Webber! ;)

common rule at spa: if you're not raikkonen, do not attempt to overtake at eau rouge.

Looks like ametuer hour.. How many of those drivers were in the run off at turn 1??

[guitarman2134568]

Looks like blood at the end.

[TheMaurob1979]

like Stefan Bellof crash in 1985

it was the drivers fault.. the closing speed was way to low to be able to pass like that

@stellpoons Just rewatched the pass, very similar posistions. The guy in the radical takes less of the kerb compared to Webber.

@Loynes23 really lol... did you even watch that move webber was already up the inside of alonso and alonso backed out of it because alonso knows you cant get 2 a breast through eau rouge
