Bottom post of the previous page:

The world's eyes are on you Dan, don't do anything stupi... Oh never mind.
He is running at the meeting, and is apparently doing F2 next year. Isnt he on a hat trick of wins here?

Actually he is up against making his third consecutive win having got involved in someone elses accident in the grid setting qualifying race yesterday, left with nowhere to go, got aerial and will start back in 27th place. The crash started (at Lisboa) when Logan Sargeant clipped Arjun Maini, whose Jenzer entry was subsequently fired into the wall. That left a number of cars with nowhere to go, Jake Hughes out on the spot while Ticktum had to pit for repairs. He managed to get to the finish, but was classified 27th and two laps down. He starts 26th, immediately behind David (son of Ralf) Schumacher

4 laps in and a big crash for Hapsburg who after mounting a kerb and glancing the right hand (inside) barrier got launched into the outside barriers in the twisty bit. Safety car deployed.

Flörsch retires, while Verschuur leads and Sargent takes third.

Another aspiring Dutchman.
Wonder if we will hear the Dutch National Anthem again later today in Brazil?

Good race. Vips would have had it if wasn't for the SC following the Archduke of Austria-Hungary's crash, but Vershoor did a great restart and a good job defending.

Fark the guy that kept getting run over was fortunate to escape serious injury, as I understand from media reports was the case for all involved, although three were detained in hospital for observation.

Worst outcome by what I've heard were a few broken bones in this incident. It was Erno Kostamo who initially lost it. Everyone else couldn't avoid him.
