Sad news.

Saddened at the death of Allan. Reminds me of the heartbreaking death of Mastushita at the TT late last month. Alot of spins and cold tyres. Tell you what, bruno Senna is going for it, good lad!

PS. I miss Fisichella.

OMG, so sad to see this...

Very sad to hear about the passing of a driver. How did the accident happen, did he just lose it at high speed? I understand this isn't being discussed much because the show must go on and all that c**p, but it makes me feel slightly uneasy watching the race.

Anyway, looks like Audi has the edge in terms of pace, but two of their three entries have hit trouble and fallen back massively. This could be a closer race than expected.

He lost it on the kerb when avoiding spinning(?) Ferrari in front.

Sitting here watching the race, but I really think that we're sort of not doing the right thing in light of what happened to Allan Simonsen. We should have had a red flag, 5 minutes of silence, something.

I'm hoping that we see some of the drivers who are still running at the finish tomorrow acknowledge what happened somehow; maybe flash their lights or do a burnout at Tetre Rouge.

Allan Simonsen's own family wanted the race to go on.

Wanted his team to go on, not race. The race will be continue anyway.

Big crash for the #99 Aston Martin. Unfortunate.

Hopefully the #97 can win.

Kobayashi showing something too!

It's raining cats and dogs now, hopefully that will make for an entertaining finish.

#7 Toyota is out!

Big chaos! #7 Toyota back in the pits, maybe he can continue

Audi Sport Team Joest car number 2 wins as I predicted. Good job as usual from them.
