Nooo, Not Bobby D!

Robert Doornbos, easily my pick to win this year's Teo Fabi award for "guy who crashes everyone's qualifying party", just put his car all over the wall at the south end of the track. Not quite sure what happened, since none of the cameras were actually on him at the time, but he had just thrown down the fifth-best speed of the day. He must've been going a little too fast; it looks like he probably washed up the track in Turn 1, because he was in the wall long before he got to Turn 2, where the cameras picked him up.

I really thought Bobby D would be able to crash the top couple of rows and maybe even lead the field in qualifying, but now the N/H/L guys have to put the car back together, and having to recalibrate the whole thing between 9 and 12 tomorrow will make it difficult to put together a top-11 car. We shall see, though...
