It was THICK black smoke, electrical fire which set some carbon fiber stuff on fire. Frank Williams and the team were celebrating at the time,but they were all rushed out and hopefully all are ok.

Few people are in the medical center/hospital,

And for a man known for being hard on his tyres

Well done Lewis, role on Monaco

according to a Saturday rag he's been easier on the tyres than Jenson of late

that'll cost him a few grid places if they have to replace the 'whole' car

its good to see all the teams helped. mind i supose its one of those situation where any rival team is dropped and its all hands to help

it was prob damaged in the shunt with schumacher, as the winning car was still in parc ferme

Well done to williams for taking the win they really deserved it although I am a mclaren fan, it's a big shame about the bad luck williams had after the race, 1 minute we was watching Ted kravitz giving an interview and then in the background a big fire ball shooting across the williams garage , glad everyones okay though because it could of quite easily gone the other way.

The drive of the day has got to go to Lewis, just a shame he couldn't of had another lap so he could of taken 7th from Nico but he done well to finish 8th from 24th on the grid .

Mark-they were fixing his car in the garage,well it was mainly fixed then the fire broke out,Now it was black smoke,very thick,could this be because of the melting of Carbon fiber? and the electrical fire.

Chequered flag-they normally have a spare car,however they need to reset ALL the settings,so yes Bruno will loose some grid places,and he really cant afford that.There calling Bruno senna's car off,its a goner.

At least we know that Williams have the pace and could be the team at the top of the grid now (if they maintain there pace and skill), another win for another racer,very interesting season, I do hope red bull improve a little more.Vettel had some good over takes though.

Everyone is fine,just a few people inhaled the fumes and some slight burn marks,but everything is ok and everyone is fine,as for the spare parts and car in the garage.Well they've seen better days.

Couldn't agree with you more,Lewis done a superb drive!,Consistent and smooth,although Mclaren still need to improve their pit stops. Someone dropped or forgot to pick up their wheel drill from the floor and he ran over it,and he stopped to check if everything was ok,which cost him some time.

Micheal schumacher being himself,crashed into the back of Bruno,Bruno moved to the right so Micheal could take the inside line as he was faster,but he thought it would be better to crash into the back of bruno then radio in 'stupid'

Can't wait for Monaco,

[mark christopher]

i doubt the carbon fibre would burn like that otherwise there sending drivers out in a highly flamable race tub....... more likley electrical that smoke

[SlowOne]

All that dust and black smoke looked like the LiPo cell that went off next to me at the National last March. Is that what they use in the KERS system? Not nice at all IME. Hope everyone's OK.

[bodgit]

Seeing it all gain on youtube I wonder if the FIA will look at banning kers now. As the Bbc team said the teams have plenty of firefighting equipement in the garage but in that smoke they would'nt be able to find them.

[DCM]

It isn't the carbon that burns, it is the resin, plus oils and residual fuel along with the battery. Scary shit though.

should of just put him 10th since he'd made it into Q3 anyway
