FP2 red flagged after a nasty incident for Grosjean, who hit a loose drain cover.

Glad he's ok, still remember that famous incident in China that cost McLaren the constructors crown.
Mercedes drivers seem to be struggling with the car ATM |

Will the circuit owners be liable to pay Haas compensation?
I vaguely remember a big sports car race on a street circuit in Canada, about 25 years ago. A drain cover came loose in the middle of the straight and destroyed a car. The team owners sued the track |

He was paid to ensure that the circuit was up to standard. We have had manhole covers come loose before, surely they should be checked? |

That's a heck of a stupid place to have a manhole cover - right on a piece of kerb that will be constantly driven over......

Looks to me like a drainage grating rather than a manhole cover.

The drain cover just before Grosjean ran over it at approximately 170-175MPH.
And seconds later, Massa inches away from running over same cover while Grosjean is still spinning out ahead. Regarding the positioning of the drain cover, it's in a spot where the water pools. So it has to be there to drain the standing water. And in Malaysia, there's a lot of standing water when it rains. |

That maybe so, but you need to make a better fist of it than that......

Well we got out of that one. It's rare these things happen, but they need to make doubly sure they are welded shut in future

Random pop up drain covers....a more exciting concept than DRS to liven things up.

Didn't Bernie once consider a sprinkler system, to liven up GPs? I wonder if this could be part of that system, with the water coming out of that manhole cover and they forgot about it?
