ref the medical car, I am fairly sure that there are more than 1 based around the place and that they cannot go around the track the wrong way regardless of the incident. I guess there was a econd car, halfway around, that came to visit Timo.
During a red flag that is completely unacceptable. They should be allowed to go backwards in this case. Trulli and Glock were the only two out there and the closest medical car should take any avenue to get to them. NASCAR was critisized for Edwards crash at Talladega and F1 can't have a medical car go backwards but instead has to drive halfway around a racetrack? That's the absolutely stupidest thing I've ever heard.
I agree mate. I race bikes and we are told in briefing that absolutely nothing will be going round the track the wrong way..whatever is going on.
I've not read the regs for a while for F1 but i would think this is a standard setup.
As I said, there is going to be another car stationed halfway..if not it is bad indeed.
edit - Kovi just crashed...what is going on?
