Can't really remember a practice session that's been a total wreckfest, Monaco excepted.
Until recent years you'd be guaranteed 3 or 4 crashes in Monaco practice, usually Minardis/Jordans etc
These days cars are usually within their limits until the final 10 mins or so, even then with tarmac runoffs etc, huge wrecks happen about 3 or 4 times a year.
What's the biggest crash that's ever happened in a practice session?
That Mexican crash where the car hits pit wall, rolls and then lands on its side?

I think FP3 here last year we had De La Rosa, Kobayashi & Custard in the wall.
I think also the drivers on the whole are better than they used to be. The midfield is stronger, even the guys at the back are very good drivers.
Senna's problem so far has been one lap pace. If he can find a few tenths to get closer to Pastor, it'll make his races far simpler.
Touché.
