I like the new wing mirrors, they might give Vettee the edge he needs, to beat Lulu and win the the WDC, in the last few races of this season.

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.

Number4 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
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

They presented the circuit for the race, who was responsible for the inspection?
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?

It was the 1990 WSC Group C 480 km race at Montreal. Ground effect sucked up a manhole cover and destroyed several cars. Brun sued the track owners, who I guess was the city council.

Check out the list of drivers, an amazing list of big names.

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.

Yes, agreed.

Cover has now been welded shut. Again.
And some of the other covers have also had some extra welding.

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?
