A taste of Indy.

Multiple fractures to the pelvis and a fractured right hip. Speedy recovery to him! Never good to see accidents like that.

 

He was on for a strong season as well for f**k sake.

 

Indy bites.

 

Looks like surgery has gone well which is bloody good to hear.

 

Alonso set the fastest no-tow pace in practice, I think he's going for pole lads.

 

Engine change for Alonso before qualifying.

No, that's not a joke.

 

Nothing new there then

 

Any idea what UK time final quali is on?

 

Positions 10-33 is underway now. Sage Karam is now lapping, he qualified 11th yesterday I think, so only Servia and then it's the top 9 shootout?

Edit: Turns out I'm wrong, only just over halfway through the 10-33 runs.

Fast 9 about to start, Alonso runs third.

 

What a beast!

 

Beautiful from Alonso!

And now it's just watching and waiting. I'm no expert, but that looked pretty strong.

 

Looked like he'd been at it for years!

 

had to chuckle about the last minute Honda engine change.

maybe they thought if he felt more at home he would be more relaxed?


great laps

 

I think he's only just gone and bloody done it.

 

Bugger

 

That's a shame, it wasn't to be... lets see if he can stay on the first row. Great lap though.

 

Rossi bumps Alonso off pole.

 

There will be huge comparisons to Mansell's debut in 93.
