"The world's best drivers" can't make it through the first turn?
Is it me or are those guys starting to lose their edge? Four cars wrecked within 30 seconds of a start of a two hour race.............[)]

Well, that was one heck of screwed up race.
I can see why it happened - the order you get thru that turn will set a pace for the race. So, somebody tried to get ahead, somebody didn't yield and somebody bumped into first two.
I was at the race, trackside about 30 feet from that turn. It was pretty hairy down there. all the backmarkers on the grid were all trying to use the start as a way of jumping positions, it gets tight down there and a few people's tires connect and wham! 40 of the 11 that would eventually retire are already gone!
I've got some great shots of it, i was 20ft. from the track at the wall beside turn 3 for half the race, got a few nice shots and a video clip! I'll post them /email them when I upload them tonight.

The problem is Christian Klien, he can't drive, but he brought $6million in sponsorship to jaguar, he caused a first corner incident at the canadian grand prix last week too.
