Lee Janotta should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Yeah, I think the car just got away from Allan. Driver error, but these cars are pretty hard to handle anyways. Such things are inevitable when you're driving right at your limit. But yeah, with slick and a wider car, yup, I think he could have saved it. These cars are too damn twitchy.

Something I've always said is that Senna's wreck was not that ugly. Drivers this side of the pond survive basically the same almost every weekend in CART, IRL, and the various "stock car" series.

Rubens' was clearly the most spectacular wreck that weekend.

Allan's wreck today is good evidence that the cars are plenty strong enough to protect the drivers, and we don't have to coddle them with stupid gravel traps _everywhere_.
