Grand Prix of Malaysia F1 2011: the flight of Petrov and the breakdown of the steering column


For me one of the shocking scenes of this race of Malaysia, to not be so. Vitaly Petrov track output to three laps from the end if I am not mistaken, with the subsequent jump to catch a spice of slope to return to track, and that he threw with a rupture of the column of the address of the seat of the Russian. A major shock for us but I imagine that him for much more.
The dangerousness of the moment has been benefited by the non-existent traffic after Petrov (stuck to it, understand it, there was no one), but it was a tense moment when we see Petrov down marches with the steering wheel in the air. What at first seemed to smiplemente a desenganchado flywheel has resulted in starting column, and that says a lot about the violence of the coup.
First thing I'm happy that we have achieved another podium, so we can consider this a great beginning of Championship. High performance of the team in an unusual race. I had a small mistake that should not have taken the consequences. I went long and the car took off, landing hard. The two cars should have been in the points today, but the good news is that we have the pace needed to be competitive this season.
