There’s a good reason why those drivers are in GP3. That collision was completely unnecessary. That said it seems odd that so few people were watching it in that grandstand. I know most will have been there to see the F1 on the Sunday, but I know if I had paid that much for weekend tickets I would at least want to catch the start of any race, just for the excitement.
Also, why didn’t FOM put a camera in near to where those last 3 videos were? It was such a great view.

@strontium That’s harsh against the rest of the GP3 drivers. Yes, there’s some silver spooned daddy’s boys but some are real talents trying to make a name for themselves like Mardenborough!

It is rather, sorry. I found it quite funny to be honest ;)
