Rockenfeller's crash was between Mulsanne and Indianapolis. It may be the first time ever (or in a very long while) that a car crashed there. And for all the talk about the trees, I don't think they had anything to do with the crash. I mean if it was not trees, it would have been a wall of concrete or something else. Surely they should put better barriers but other than that there's not much you can do about it. |

I wonder how Aston will react on a victory. Must be hard. |

Yeah those images of rocky trying to repair his car are legendary. |

Girlfriend has gone to bed, time to log in and try to enjoy the race. Obviously the race has started terribly, but the rest of the race has not been bad at all. Only the commercials on Eurosport every 8 minutes are getting hard to bare. |

The room is damn stuffy, lack of coffee, but I intend to stay until the end. |

The paps are surrounding Patrick Dempsey's garage. Guess it is his first night stint. |
