Also seemed a poor overtake decision? Minimal room to pass the Ferrari and also storming up behind the Porkers who were going a fair bit slower and on the racing line?

Think the luckiest guy is in the blue bib. Watch that wheel go up in the air, disapppear for a second or two then crash down a couple of feet behind him. He wasn't even looking!

The Rockenfeller crash at 10pm or so was pretty amazing as well.

It took off about 10m from the barrier, their seemed to be a little ridge.

Next it impacted half way up the tyre wall and the Tyres must have taken all but a small amount of the energy away, with just a little left to send it upwards with a twist.

It lost all of it's lateral speed in that 1.2m of two Tyres being compacted so if he was still doing 80-100mph it was still some deceleration.
