Anyone watching F1 qualifying now?

Speed channel is currently airing Suzuka GP qualifying. McNish (Toyota driver) just got into a major accident with most of the rear end of his car in wreckage.

Anyhow, he had to be taken away in a C32 estate which was simply stunning. The wheels looked to be at least 18" in size (the ones from the R129 AMG SL's) and filled the wheel wells so nicely. Caught some glimpses of a white NSX-R as a pit car around as well.

here are the rims on the C32 estate:

Got home around 1AM (EST), and started watching while they were trying to repair the fence. Haven't seen anything before the accident, hope McNish is ok.

the qualifying session has been stopped and they are just re-airing some previous footage now. Still haven't heard anything about McNish's condition as of yet.

seems like the fenced is fixed now, hope the session will resume shortly

I would personally *like* to see DC win. At the same time, I'd say realistically it'll be either MS or, well if MS makes another error, RB.

Edit: 2 minutes 'til Speed Channel's coverage of the race begins!!!

I'm not a big F1 fan, but the race was incredible. Everyone was cheering for Sato and his fifth place finish was a great result.

It is really hard to believe how much better the Ferrari team is...
