It was Deja Vu for Renault .... Grojean crash at exactly the same spot .. Turn 17 ... during Practice 1. Luckily for Renault, the incident happened during practice session. If it was during the race, then it would have been suspected to be another crashgate scandal. There was bad news for Renault, though. Their major sponsor, ING, pulled out.
There was also drama during practice 2. Mark Webber crashed at Turn 23, as he lost control of his car while coming out of Turn 23 onto the Start/Finish straight. It seems like the car hit some dust on the track and lost traction. Or there was a lot of stress on the tires. I guess the teams would be looking at ways to preserve tires during the actual race. This circuit can be quite tough on the tires.
Next up ... qualifying on 26 Sep 09.
