Oh, so in that video, all them accidents happened the same weekend? Wow, that´s sad. It´s bad enough to have one death in Formula1, let alone 2....on the same track. I didn´t know the other guy died.
It was Barrichello in the very first crash on there, and he can consider himself lucky that he got out relatively unscathed- the cars weren't built as strong back in those days, and there were frequent problems with tyres flying off and taking out other cars/marshals/public. Hopefully there will never be incidents like that again with the strict safety measures in place these days.
Yeah, he is lucky. It looked worse than the other two accidents. And yeah, i hope nothing like that happens again :(
And so, the Malaysian qualifying is over, and Ferrari are heading out 1st and 2nd! Mclaren are next with Kovalainen 3rd, and Hamilton 4th. Alonso starts way back at 9th :)
