I hope this doesn't hurt his tenure in the car.....

That Turn 18 is a mother-effer

Rossi binned it in the entrance to the tunnel....

At least he is in colorful mixed company:

Bruno Senna

Jaime Alguersuari

Daniel Ricciardo

Timo Glock

Mark Webber

First time in an F1 seat in more than a year, and on a fairly challenging street circuit. That’s like asking a 16-year-old (not named Tiger Woods) to hit par on St. Andrews.

Though not at the same corner, his teammate has also put the car in the wall already so I don’t think they’ll hold Rossi’s accident over his head. Especially considering he was already within a few thousandths of Stevens in first practice, something Mehri was rarely, if ever, able to achieve.

Oh I’m not faulting him at all, I just hope they don’t get butthurt and release him.

I was about to say that everyone’s binned it going into the tunnel at least once. If you don’t, it probably means you aren’t trying.

No, it will be fine. No team will tell its driver that if they crash they’re out unless that driver has a history such as with DeCesaris and Maldo. If you don’t crash every once in a while, it means you’re going too slow.

I did like how they showed a very brief shot of Merhi walking through the garage after the crash. Made things a touch awkward.

If they fired every new driver that crashed, F1 wouldn’t even exist. Rossi is probably safe lol

Awkward, or just really good direction? Give us that please, FOM! No more shots of Mrs. Sutil smiling for the camera because she showed up at the screen she was watching again! Even she’s wondering why the fuck they cut to her in the middle of a battle.
