Burning some evidence? ;-)



A total of 16 people were injured, one with severe burns, when a fire erupted in the Williams team garage on Sunday in the aftermath of Pastor Maldonado's victory in the Spanish Grand Prix.

On a dramatic day for the Venezuelan driver, he was later pictured on Twitter carrying his young cousin, whose movement was restricted by a brace on his right leg, from the smoke-filled garage in the pit lane

Thanks for that. Poor effort scoring some interwebs points there.

You would expect the Russian to be banned for awhile?

There is another Youtube vid that shows the proceeding 4 corners. The Russian was blocking fiercely.

I would hardly call it a big stack as it only involved a couple cars and everyone else drove around it. A big stack would involve many cars hitting each other.

was a great race, AJ Foyt should get an arsekicking over sending a damaged car back on track which resulted in the crash that took Power out.

Being an Andretti Racing fan I was hoping TK was going to get there in the end, though as Andretti Racing were Team Green I was happy for Dario to win

Lewis Hamilton makes it the 7th winner from as many races. Grosjean 2nd and Perez 3rd. Webber struggled in 7th but only 9 points behind in the world championship.
