Perfect demonstration there of why you want tarmac run off areas, not gravel traps.

Wow,what a scary crash. Alonso clearly had no idea Gut would brake so early.

wonder if the Haas engine problems reported earlier had something to do with him being so much slower than alonso... also looked like Gut moved to the left

What makes you say that? He's 7th, and everyone's going to the end on the same tyre except for ROS who can't use a third tire type.

I thought it started at 11PM PDT, and missed the first 45 minutes!

Red bull chassis is looking pretty strong in race pace with Ricciardo.

That was a huge crash. I didn't even see the remains of the McLaren at first.

This has been a pleasant surprise to the season for me. I'm glad Alonso is okay.

What's the forecast looking like ? Sunny all the way ?
