Antistall kicked in, nothing he could do.

Meh, shit happens. It's nowhere near as embarrassing as that ape Maldonado that crashed his car during a similar run last year. This was one of Max's first times behind the wheel of an F1 car. He definitely has an excuse unlike that other chap.

Anti-stall ..... that makes sense. The thing just wouldn't turn. Still, if Max had more experience in the car he would have known what was going on and been on the clutch or kill switch. It's hard to imagine the same thing happening to, say, Alonso.
Still, that doesn't mean he's not going to do well. Everyone who races in F1 has to learn these things. I remember after Vettel hit Webber in Turkey, and Button at Spa that everyone was saying he did not belong in F1, and that he was crazed, had bad judgment, and was out of control. Just about anyone who is any good went through a period of having stupid accidents.
However, it was the antil stall kicking in that caused Marķa de Villota's accident, so maybe they need a rethink on having those.

Ha ha, some oversteer ... and then there is a little pleaure moment to make steady drift! Max is just playing with that toy!!!
And immediately afterwards nicely notify the pits to check damage to the wing.

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
