Here are some pics of the crash. I managed to catch the very end of it happening,...as you can tell as things move a little as the pics progress.

I have to ask... what was known about Kubica's condition at the time the wall pictures were taken? If there hadn't been any announcement that he was more or less OK, then those people posing and smiling in front of the impact point are f*cking schmucks.

Nothing was known. I think the only thing anyone knew at the track was that BMW had been told he was in stable condition at the hospital,.....at most. I dont think they mentioned that though. Maybe remembers,.....

I was wondering the same thing myself,.......why the fuck are these ppl smiling,...nothing funny about this crash in any way shape or form. Even though Kubica ended up being relatively ok,...thank God,......I have NO IDEA why ppl were smiling. Only conclusion is that they are tools.

At the track they said Kubica had a fractured femur, was conscious and had no other injuries in "good condition" but yeah, you are right, smiling MoFo's by the scene of the crime was pretty stupid. Nice pics Steve, same for Chinaboy.

Damn West, you snapped some nice shots!!! Great vantage point to catch all that Nascar'in action. If this happens in F1, I can't image the carnage that's going to happen when those Nascar 750HP, 3000lbs beasts tear up this tight high speed track!!!

Btw, what kind of camera were u using??

Shots taken with my buddies Nikon D70 with a Nikkor Lense,...cant remember what one it was (maybe a 35-70mm).

Ok, I sent some videos to Robb to host. Some of them were too big, so I had to sign up for photobucket and put them there. Here is the first one,......hope this works.
