Stuff like when they used to have the one shot qualifying, which was designed in the hope that a front runner would mess up their one lap, whenever they did and they started out of position, they never showed them carving through the field.

Reverse grids! That's what we need.

Would have been nice to see at least some of Weeber's two quali laps - they must have been pretty spectacular! Three tenths in qualifying at Monaco suggests something pretty special.

They did show the crash during the introduction to qualifying. It didn't look bad enough to have the consequences it did.
He ran wide at the top of the hill, entering Casino Square, hit the Armco and the off-side front wheel snapped away from the suspension (although it looked still to be tethered) and was forced back into the side of the monocoque. What was surprising was that it actually broke the tub, otherwise it would not have been such a serious repair job. What they said was that since those disc wheel covers were banned this year, Ferrari had beefed up their wheels to create a similar effect, so they are now much stronger than before, hence the damage to the tub. |

Indeed. The TV producer would have a timing screen along with monitors in front of him/her but I guess it's too much to ask of their tiny, cocaine-riddled brains to expect them to see who's doing purples and get the cameras following them

However, there were some giants like the Super Swede as was H.J. Stuck jr. There's an idea for an new thread. The Giants of F1 - despite their stature. |

The accident didn't look like 'much' so there must have been some considerable forces involved inorder to crack the tub.

I heard a rumour that Alonso is going to stop in the first couple of laps and do the whole race on the hards in the hope of a safety car. Clever plan if true

I had also heard that quite a few of the front runners were looking to do something unusual with their tyre stops. |
