    That's what got me, I just saw it at full speed as it cut to it, saw debris flying and people going for cover, thought for sure someone had been hit.

    Scary accident, pity for the race.

    Can someone explain the logic of switching from eurosport to eurosport2?

    Some people only have one Eurosport channel I assume. Probably also some of the same "logic" as the BBC switching between BBC1 and BBC2 mid-event.

    The car is launched up just before it hits the barrier, so much luck all round, taking long time to get back to green flag
