Jesus.. so much money is lost there, and now i guess the car is ******.

[David]

someone tweeted that the car is salvageable

[Deak]

The car will probably be salvageable, but it will cost them quite a lot of money (more than likely anyway)!

Some great shots of the fire, but obviously the grand prix weekend should not be remember because of it, but remembered for Williams winning.

Probably have backups of all the equipment lost. Got another fortnight to get it all back in working order.

Such a shame that it ended like this! Its lucky nobody was killed.

FIA report that 31 were injured / hurt and being checked out at the hospital

Hope all connected make a full recovery in time for Monaco ( arguably the best race going in F1 )

Luckily for them it'll all be insured. They'll have spare equipment which are coming back from the fly-away races one imagines. A terrible end to what had been a great day for Williams F1.

Alonso fastest but the timings are a bit deceiving. Grosjean was consistently faster than Alonso throughout the session and Alonso got his last time out just before the red flag. Hamilton also didn't get a final quick lap due to the red flag.

From watching it I'd predict it's a three-way battle between Hamilton, Grosjean and Alonso, and we've yet to see what Raikkonen can do.
