Waht we should do on this forum have our own video page. Because then we could all post videos that we cut out from recorded races. That would save us from clicking on links that dont work because of Bernie and his Mafia.

Thou shalt not watch a ten-second clip of a two-hour race from You Tube. Get a life Bernie. You and Mosley have done more to damage Formula One in the last ten years than anything I can think of. :thumbdown:

It still amazes me how poor marshaling is at some circuits in Formula One. The car did its job in protecting Glock fairly well from the accident, but had his spine been injured however slightly, the marshals could have damaged his back further by lifting him out of the car. An investigation is needed methinks into this matter so it and similar things don't happen again.

Becasue after a day they are all off again.

I wonder if Bernie spends all day on the internet on Youtube waiting for "his" clips to be posted up so he can tear them down?

He probably does.
I should post a clip and the information with it should be a message from me saying "this is my clip Bernie, not yours"
See what he'd do.
Thing is he will never stop all his clips being leaked out.

From F1 Live:

Following Timo Glock’s incident during the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, Toyota Motorsport initiated a thorough investigation.

This initially established that a rear toelink (trackrod) gave way causing Glock to lose control of the car, but confirmed that there were no exceptional circumstances before or during the incident in the German Grand Prix.

Further investigation has established that damage sustained in the British Grand Prix two weeks earlier was the cause. During that race Glock suffered several incidents.

As is normal practice, some parts from the British Grand Prix were carried over to Hockenheim, including most of the rear right suspension.
Although the parts were subjected to the normal test and screening process following the Silverstone race and passed fit for use at Hockenheim, it has become apparent that it did not identify an issue which subsequently led to the incident at Hockenheim.

As a result of this investigation, Toyota Motorsport has revised its inspection processes to include such cases and is extremely confident there will be no repeat.

That will have been when he tried his mobile chicane move to stop Rosberg passing him and consequently Rosberg running into the back of him and breaking (another) front wing.
