That will be one of the images of the year.
Those who doubted Quick Nick were a bit too quick. |

I wonder if the flight was long enough for him to realise how much the landing was going to hurt...

Given that the Renaults had 2 offs earlier in the weekend due to technical failures, who's to say this wasnt another one.
Weird that the steering rack broke upon landing... you may have thought an upright or two would have collapsed. Only a week to China, maybe a new chassis to be flown in? |

They must have taken him to see "Wicked" during the week. Or reruns of Glee?

We had a nasty landing at Dublin airport about 2 weeks ago. Was really windy, but the pilot did extremely well. Left a bit, right a bit, then thump.

As Brundle has said many times : "A F1 car is like an upside down aeroplane wing." ; Petrov was just trying to test that theory out. I also liked Brundle's 'the Rudderless Russian' nickname. I wonder if it will catch on.

Did anyone ask him post-race if he had a sore bottom? It looks like a "that's going to hurt in the morning" moment.

I chuckled out loud when Martin dropped the 'Rudderless Russian' line on us.

If you were only ever as good as your last race......
Nice to see Petrov exploring other lines through (and above) the corners. |

Could be a good overtaking manoeuvre around Monaco if you can't get round them!
