Anybody surprised that Pizzonia didn't even finish the season with Jaguar last year before being replaced?

After watching it a few times, it looks like he turned in too early. Early apexing is bad.

Did you guys happen to look at the speedo when he was turning in?

Yeah, waaaaaaay too hot.

It was also interesting to see how much the car was tilted in the 3rd segment. The outside susp. must have been all the way compressed.

I'd hate to be in his shoes walking back to the pits tho.......

Wow... very cool passenger, that's for sure.

I'd agree with some of the above... he apexed WAY too early, and was going WAY too fast for that car. I think some of the guys who grow up in carting and move through the F1 ranks tend to have talents very specific to what they do... they just don't get the time in "normal" cars to understand how they work at the limit.

Oh well... at least they're ok!

He hit his head on the roof pretty hard.
