Grosjean Pole and Grosjean win.
Even if he gets pole, which I highly doubt, he'll figure out a way to crash.

If he starts on pole, I highly doubt that. Grosjean always is very quick off the line, and with nobody actually in front of him crashing isn't really going to happen.
Pole on the other hand... I don't see that happen.

Two excuses:
1) I'm on my phone and was struggling to even extract the link from the tweet.
2) I did not know about the YouTube tag.

Thanks for inlining it for me though :)

There are walls to run into. Give him a chance, he'll find a way :)

That would be hugely ironic: the predecessor of Piquet jr. crashing into the wall at Singapore.

Why would it be? Grosjean actually repeated the crash identically (except he didn't actually damage his car) in 2009 practice, and Petrov did so too in 2010. I think the car's cursed :lol:

Actually, it just started raining less than a minute ago. Well I'll be damned :lol:

Having said that - I've never encountered rain around 8-10PM before. It's always 11PM and above if it rains at night.

You gotta be sh*tting me! He even slipped at the same place and hitted the wall at the same place. Synchronized crashing ftw?

For what it's worth - the rain lasted 3 minutes. Just in case anyone was interested :lol:

Well, it might be just enough to throw a spanner in the works come race day :wink:
