Interesting results. Good to see Toccacelo and Gommendy at the sharp end of things, Toccacelo will have a point to prove this weekend I think.

29 cars, some ace teams and good drivers. This could be a cracking series. I've rated Kubica for a while.

Alx Danielsson wrote a little report from yesterday on a swedish forum about him and DAMS in general.

When they started the cars for the training Alx car ran on three cylinders and Pastor Maldonado's car had gearbox problems. It took 1h and 20 minutes to fix the problem on Alx' car and he went out with 30 minutes remaining in the session. The car felt totally weird and he managed 6 flying laps in the first session. Maldonado's car was still being worked on.

The next session Alx had to start on new tires since his one tyre from his scrubbed down set had a big metal piece stuck in it. Now he also had some sort of gearbox problem, and the car refused to shift down and instead pushed the car forward giving it extra speed under braking. After some stays in the pits they managed to sort out the gearbox problem, but now the tyres were too worn right at the time the other team put on their fresh rubber and started setting fast times.

As for Maldonado. Well he got out in the second session to try and catch up a bit. He put the car in the tyrebarrier and pretty much destroyed the front of the car.

Things are looking pretty grim for the DAMS team...

Kubica won 2nd friday sesion - 0.6 sec adv

Track is wet now.

Just heard that Alx Danielsson crashed into a slower moving car (Colin Fleming) and broke his leg. Three or four cars were involved in the crash.

ALX at hospital in Belgium after crash at Zolder. Probably brooken foot.

[strider]

Unfortunate for Alx and indeed Colin Fleming, who was stationary at the side of the track at the time with red flags being shown. Full report here.

[Bezzen]

From a swedish forum:

"I just spoke to Alx on the phone and he has been dismissed from the hospital. He was in a car and on the way to pick up some crutches. Under the circumstances he is fine but he is upset with the events that unfolded and is very critical against the marshalling - he is of the opinion that double yellow flags should have been waved and that the marshalls should have tried to direct the drivers to the other side of the track - before the hill. THere was no indication whatsoever that there was a stationary car behind the hill."

(note: this is quoted from a guy (JTarnstrom) at the swedish f1bb.com forum. I just copied the message since I didn't want to distort anything from it by writing my own second hand version of the events...)

Slower car getting in the way of a flier at Zolder - echoes of Villeneuve's death there.

If yellow flags and even red flags are shown you have to reduce your speed..............well, they didn't. You can see on the first picture that the big impact, which caused the ankle-fracture on Danielson, happened under a red flag!!!!!!!!

Then, with Colin Fleming (Jenzer Motorsport) at a standstill on the edge of the track, the red flag was shown and the session was brought to a halt. As Alx Danielsson (Dams) pulled over to let another car through, he was unable to avoid American driver on the exit to the bend, resulting in a collision. Just a few seconds later, Stefano Proetto (Interwetten.com) himself ran into the two other cars. The medical team came to Alx Danielsson's assistance and he was taken to hospital with a broken ankle.

Cause he didn't slow down..............don't know where Danielsson got his license but the meaning of a red flag seems strange to him. Learn the rules before you say something Alex! You and Proetto made a big mistake......no one else

[Eddy V]

Better stop all this before something wrong is said !!!!
I know what happened, but as an Observer I cannot and may not explain what happened.
All stories are part right, but none correct.
Renault's own Racecontrol is a shambles, I asked for a practice stoppage within seconds (after A driver stopped on the track on top of the brow in a blind spot), but nothing happened.
Yellows were out, for a "longer" time, Alx crashed into the car under yellows, the third one crashed under reds and yellows.

NUFF SAID.

Oh, had one hell of an argument with Racecontrol and handed my licence in. I do not work with insane people.

Dams' report :

Alx DANIELSSON was involved in a major crash in today’s 1st qualifying after he hit a car stopped on the track in a place without visibility. The circumstances of the crash have not been determined yet, it seems that DANIELSSON could not avoid the contact with Colin FLEMING’s car. However, the biggest shock happened when PROETTO arrived soon after at high speed and hit the 2 cars. DANIELSSON was shocked after the crash but he is now OK and should recover in a few weeks.

He has been examined by the medical staff at the hospital of GENK, and their diagnosis reports a hairline fracture in the ankle bone which does not requires surgery. All the other tests that were carried out did not reveal any other injuries. At the moment, a precise recovery time for the ankle is not certain but it is obviously confirmed that DANIELSSON will not race tomorrow.

RACE TWO SPOILER BELOW!!!



































Safety car out at Zolder at the moment... Does anyone know the reason? The commentator here hasn't gotten any info about.

And now the safety car SPINS! LOL!

[rustyfan]

HUGE crash, one car clipped another and flipped at very high speed

red flag out

[mazda]

know anymore about this??

Not yet, and the TV-broadcast I had just left Zolder. The second car involved ended up on the tire-barrier - the one that flipped most likely flipped out of the track

[Bezzen]

Oh, that sounds bad...

I hope everyone involved are ok..

[Kicking-back]

This sounds absolutely horrific

[Marcel ten Caat]

Thank god it ended in a section where no spectators are near and it's about 10 meters from where the medical centre + helicopter are.

[Shunt the Hunt]

It was Giovanni Tedeschi who jumped over Matteo Meneghello. I contacted Blanca de Foronda, WS's press officer, and she told me that both drivers were allright !

That's a miracle !

[Kicking-back]

Thank god for that.

I was seriously worried there!

If indeed accurate (the lack of information right now is rather disturbing), that is great news!
