Maria De Villota R.I.P.

Glad to hear that there will be a minutes silence before the race.

 

The minutes silence was utter bollocks btw... should have been on the grid. F1... pull your head out of your arse!

 

I was disappointed not to see black armbands.

 

I'm amazed there weren't too.

 

The results of the HSE's investigation into Maria's crash have been published. She was fighting the car as it pushed her into the trailer. Details here:

It seems it was an engine management problem to me, where would the fault lay there. I read somewhere that the family could sue.

 

See I think the media are trying to spin it that way, but to me it sounds like the anti-stall software did its job, and Maria failed to prevent it taking her into the accident. It sounds like she'd successfully stopes the car on other runs. It's just tragic that she managed to collide with the one thing on probably the entire airfield that could cause such serious damage.
