Were the track marshals eating cake and playing table tennis when Hamilton crashed? I couldn't believe how long they took to reach the stricken McLaren. Bloody disgrace.

I suspect it's because it was a really odd place to crash. Marshals normally seem to be dotted where it is most probable for cars to go off - and that wasn't one of them. Even so, it seemed to take an age before anyone went over to help him.

Maybe the stewards were stunned to see it was Hamilton that crashed...

German efficiency my arse

Sad tho. Do you think it finally is the end to his podium streak?

Mabye, mabye not, it depends if either Alonso or any of the Ferraris break down and if Hamilton's got the speed to get ahead of the BMW's. He'll have no trouble getting ahead of the slowyotas and whinging-Webber, if he does have trouble it still won't be long before Webber drops out of the race anyway considering how crap his Red Bull has been to him this year (and rightly so) and the Toyota's race pace is poor.

Well, they helped him massively when lifting him out of the gravel and back on the road after the rain.
