Re: 2012 Formula 1 British Grand PrixWhat happened was absolutely terrible!(Original post by The_master616)
Any thoughts on Maria de Villota? Horrific accident...
The whole incident was really strange though.. Can't believe she lost an eye as well.. sadly, her F1 career is over before it even begun properly.. On a brighter note, her motorsport career may not be over. 
A graphic view on the incident. Someone on F1Fanatic posted it, so just sharing. -

Not sure if serious...(Original post by f1mad)
McLaren should be strong around here, high speed corners is their strength.
There is no high speed anything at the moment!
if it stays as it is, it'll be the best driver wins.

Cars with certain characteristics always win in wet races, i.e Alonso at Malaysia. If the car is good at high speed, they (Hamilton not Button
), will gain a chunk of time where the rest won't.

I'm nice and dry at home.
Might be off topic, but has your lease ended for your accommodation? Wondering..... -

Re: 2012 Formula 1 British Grand PrixLeading onto the Wellington straight is a slow corner so the cars will be closer together compared to the high speed maggots-beckets section. Also the straights are not that different in length and there is a larger braking zone at the end of the Wellington straight thus increasing chances of overtaking.(Original post by constantmeowage)
Rain? Brilliant.
Although I still am baffled at the choice to keep the DRS zone at Wellington when we have a massive great long straight at Hangar instead. I don't remember it working particularly well there last year...
