    Following from what Chris said in the Monaco thread, I think Alonso is "wipe the floor" of the others and with some ease. I cannot wait.

    Alonso 228mph
    Bourdais 331mph, not even with a working car, not even the correct way up.

    It's clear who the most complete driver on the grid is

    Also, discuss. Not there's a conspiracy theory

    Massive hit there, hope Bourdais is ok. Reminds me of the Kubica Montreal crash when there's a marshal looking up the nosecone to see if his legs are ok.

    Well first thing he was moving, and the cockpit looks relatively unscathed.

    There's some talk of a "cockpit intrusion", which could be quite serious. The right side of the car was a mess.

    Awake and alert is the official report. That's good to hear.

    Bourdais had a higher average speed, would that have put him into the top 9 for tomorrow?

    That was a nasty one. Blimey. Hoping he's not got any serious injuries. Good to hear he's alert.

    Alonso guaranteed a place in the fast 9 tomorrow with 3 to run. Excellent job!

    Had he maintained that pace, then yes.

    I'm not overly familiar with Indy, but I believe if Bourdais isn't fit to race tomorrow, somebody else can qualify the car for him, and Bourdais could race next weekend if fit?
