I'm not german, so can not comment on their reliability, but at least they are quite big http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_Bild
Because everyone keeps saying the accident was very strange, no wonder if the teams are worried. If something does cause a driver to loose conciousnes while driving, think what could happen at 300km/h

the thing is they are talking about KERS witch each team has their own
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic...ecovery_system
"Two minor incidents were reported during testing of various KERS systems in 2008. The first occurred when the Red Bull Racing team tested their KERS battery for the first time in July: it malfunctioned and caused a fire scare that led to the team's factory being evacuated.[5] The second was less than a week later when a BMW Sauber mechanic was given an electric shock when he touched Christian Klien's KERS-equipped car during a test at the Jerez circuit.[6]"VERSTAPPEN: ‘If I’d let Sainz past, dad would’ve kicked me in the nuts!’

True bur Fred DIDN'T take a nap, he was braking and changing gears all the way to the wall ergo he was fully awake and in control of himself. All that happened is that he went too fast got out wide and lost traction, corrected, but unfortunately his car gripped up suddenly, and he hit the wall.
Basically a combination of speed, and gusty winds caused Fred to make an error. Because mistakes from him are so rare, we all seem to be looking for the sniper on the grassy knoll.

Fred thought it was 1995 after he bumped his head. I wonder what he said when he checked his bank account?
May the forza be with you

"McLaren have confirmed Fernando Alonso suffered temporary memory loss in a testing crash last month but played down media reports that the double world champion forgot he was a Formula One driver.
Spain’s El Pais newspaper had reported on Thursday that the driver told doctors testing his recall when he regained consciousness: “My name is Fernando, I race karts. I want to be a Formula One driver.”

It will be interesting to hear what else gets revealed about this incident. David Coulthard doesn't seem happy with the official story so far.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/31759693
And Jenson has apparently seen something strange in the telemetry figures from Fernando's car.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/31732315
So, I'm waiting to see what Eddie Jordan has to say. If there is anything suspect going on then he's sure to know about it, and he's bound to at least allude to it, if not say outright.
That aside, let's hope that Fernando is back in the car in time for Malaysia.

I'm seriously saddened by the fact that Honda is probably not going to make a major impact this year, cause i desperately want ALO to win another title. That would be news that i could read over and over until i were blue in the face.
Quite frankly, i'm tired of reading yet another article that simply cannot shed any more light onto what we already know. All joking aside, i seriously think someone remotely caused the car to go into a spin. Someone who really wants to see ALO hurt badly. Kevin?Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent

it really makes you wonder how serious his condition is
Alan Jones (there was talk yesterday he may never return to f1)
Mark Webber (Alonso could miss upto to 4 races)
