Me too. I was sitting right in front of it.......in front of the computer that is.

I had the perfect setup of a mate with a computer screen in front of me as well as watching all the action in front of me.

Also snuck in a few beers too.

The scary thing is , 10-15 years ago that crash would've almost certainly resulted in the death of Alonso.
The safety features of the car were defiantly proved in that crash.

I guess people will make a strong case for the Halo now more than ever after that.
 
That Alonso crash... Wow. I wonder if one day our cars will be half as safe as those.
 
It's a mess, chassis, engine and gearbox will all need to be binned.

Looking at the crash , the safety aspect of the car in not in doubt, he walked away without a scratch.

It was never in doubt to be honest. These cars have been safe for high speed driving for over a decade now. But that doesn't mean that certain sections of the F1 world won't back the inclusion of it. It's sadly the way the world works.
 
Great start by Vettel, and nice to see a more open match for a while. Still, Merch on 1-2 but at least they had to fight for it. Scary moment with Alonso, glad he's okay.

Fecking pissed with Max today, not his fault but he could have done so much better today. Ugh.

Wow, that's a wreck. The safety of the cars if fecking excellent if you can survive that unscathed.
 
The way Gutierrez ran over to embrace him afterwards, I bet he was absolutely shitting himself watching that from his cockpit.
 
I watched the 12 hours of Sebring endurance race yesterday. If you are into motor sports and have not watched an endurance race, take one in. They're great fun.

I don't think he had much of a view of Alonso traveling through the air since he was busy spinning. But maybe he got a glimpse of Alonso hitting the wall before he flew and must have seen the condition Alonso's car was in when he stopped spinning.

You could also argue against it. It might pin the driver inside as well after the crash. In an emergency the driver can get out now but what happens if the Halo gets damaged and can't be opened. There are pros and cons for both.
 
Anywhere online I can watch highlights of this? Can't find it on the iPlayer.
 
SF fecked it big style. great race by seb to get f'd over by shit organizing by his team.

what machines that alonzo walked away.

Yeah, you are probably right.
 
I know it's stating the obvious but the engineering that goes into those cars is miraculous. The only part of that car left in one piece, was the part that goes around the driver to keep him safe! I've watched it back about 50 times and I still can't believe he gets up and walks away from that.
 
Yeah, I had the same problem, but only thing is I forgot my username and had asked for a mail to be sent. It's been over 15 hours now :waiting:.

Bit worried about our Fantasy League , not been able to get on the website for 24 hours now, sent emails but nothing back.

I cant login, it says incorrect password even though its a saved password.

Tried to get my password and apparently my email address is not in the database.

I have emailed the owner , looks like there is clearly problems somewhere.
 
got this back.
Hi,

I am sending a generic email so sorry about that, but due to the volumes of emails I am getting I cannot respond personally to them all.

1. My host migrated the site onto a new server on Sunday, they did this as Sunday is a quiet day for most sites, obviously they didn't realise it was the first race of the season that day, so that's the first problem!

2. The site migration went well, everything is present and correct so don't worry, your data is not lost or corrupt.

3. However - crucially they forgot to update the nameserver details for the site on the new server, so from approximately 8PM Sunday people were seeing Internal Server Error (500) as the DNS servers tried to connect to the old server.

4. I noticed this and raised a support ticket, getting a response at 9 AM on Monday to say the nameservers were now updated.

5. I noticed things hadn't improved by 4 PM (nameserver updates take a few hours) and so escalated this again.

6. The host then realised the namesever update hadn't taken effect for technical reasons I won't go into there, but they then resolved this at 6 PM Monday advising it could take up to 24 hours to fully update across all DNS servers.

7. During Tuesday some people were able to login but others were getting a cached version of the site from about 2 months ago, so it looked to them as though their details had gone as they could not login or even get a password reminder as that old version didn't have their details.

8. Currently the situation hasn't changed, some can login to the current site and some get the old cached version, I have escalated this with my host again.

I can confirm the database and code base is OK and current as I can login to the backend to check. I can only ask for a little more patience as DNS updates can take longer than 24 hours as each ISP/DNS owner can have their own rules regards how long they cache details for.

If you want to know more about this type of issue search for "time to linger" and "DNS propogation"

I am not in a position to do any more with this and my host may not be able to either, I will see if things improve by tomorrow and if not may move to another host - I will only do this if I believe it will resolve the issue after consulting with an expert!

Finally I am sorry about this, believe me nobody is more frustrated than I am, after running the site for 6 seasons I have never had such an issue.

If you have further questions let me know but I may not respond quickly.

Thanks for your patience and support,

David
