RSPit: on the pit wall...

[-8:00]
RSPit: Dicky, the start...
RSPit: yeah I've got it...

[-7:00]
RSPit: Seven minutes, seven minutes.
RSPit: Radio check.
Ralf: Still working.
RSPit: Just to remind you, on the wall, behind where the [...] is, is
a number 5 sign, so you know where to find your park.

[-6:00]

[-5:00]
RSPit: That was the 5 minute signal. 5 Minutes.

RSPit: 1 minute to go. 1 minute.

Unk: ...get the car off if we're going to do that. We've got one
minute. Right get her on the ground and get it started. Get the
starter in and start it.

RSPit: Scrubbed fronts, new rears, on both McLarens.
Ralf: A bit surprising.

JVPit: ...got TC off, yeah?
JVPit: Button in front has heavily scrubbed fronts...
JVPit: Salo to your right has new tyres all round, so one or the two
of them will have a bad balance.

DCPit: And if we could launch from the grid please David.

Juan: ...drink bottle. Got the [...] in my throat.
[with manic laugh].

RSPit: 25 seconds to go.

JuanPit: New rears and old fronts, yeah?

RSPit: 5 seconds to go. 5.

[0:00 Start of formation lap.]
[Frentzen and Bernoldi, both Arrows, are left stranded on the grid]

JuanPit: ok copy that, you hear me now?
JuanPit: ...right hand side, right hand side, underneath your elbow.

RSPit: Craig, theres 2 arrows still stationary on the grid.
RSPit: Yeah, I've seen them.

JuanPit: 2 cars on the grid Juan, just so you know, there are 2 cars
on the grid, they're just pushing them off now. They're on the
left hand side, they're being pushed out of the way.
Juan: ...any louder [...] full volume...
JuanPit: ok, copy that. How is that level, is that ok for you?
JuanPit: Loud and slow, not a problem.

HHFPit: ...get it off the grid.
HHFPit: ...off, and to the T-car please. Heinz, out of the car and
to the T-car.
HHFPit: ...the battery.

RSPit: Craig, TC5, TC5.
RSPit: 10-4.

JuanPit: ...have to go back to TC2, sorry, back to TC3, TC3.

JVPit: Now remember, warm up your tyres, warm up your tyres, Jacques,
rears.
JVPit: Everything looks good, Jacques, autoshift is all synchronised.
Jacques: Yeah, 10-4.

HHFPit: ... the car, revs, and get it started as quickly as you can.

JuanPit: ok, the cars are lining up, I'll tell you what is happening.
JuanPit: Still lining up.
JuanPit: ok they're just taking their positions now, just taking their
positions now. Last cars are stopping. Last cars have stopped.

JVPit: Now come on dude, we want a good one today. Gotta react.

[3:27 Lights go out, cars actually start the race ********]
[Big crash, Ralf goes into the back of Rubens at turn 1, many cars
are out of the race. Safety car comes out.]

RSPit: ...the spare car ready for Ralf. Theres probably going to
be a restart.
Unk: Quite a few cars off.
RSPit: He's out of the car, Craig, out of the car.

JVPit: JV talk to me. Are you still there?

DCPit: Safety car is deployed David, the safety car is deployed.
Beware of debris turn one. Confirm you can hear me.

Unk: Safety car has been deployed.

JVPit: Safety car is out, safety car is out, so go lean the mix 1,
mix 1. Confirm you can heard me, safety car is out, we want
lean mix 1, mix 1.

HHFPit: Heinz, safety car is deployed.

[5:00]
RSPit: ok, we'll leave the car setup as it is, just changes for
the driver.
RSPit: Power to the car please.

JVPit: Confirm mix 1, mix 1 and you are on safety car.
Jacques: Confirmed.

Jacques: I went over a lot of shit.

JuanPit: Juan your right front is usable? confirm usable?
JuanPit: Copy that Juan, no problem.

DC: ...turn 3, you might want to try and relay that to the organisers,
lot of oil entry turn 3.

[6:00]
RSPit: Just let me know when we can calibrate the paddles, please.
RSPit: Matthew I've got a sheet for the dash setup.
RSPit: ok Mikey, we've finished putting our code in.
RSPit: You're looking on the paddle setup?

DCPit: ...sat behind the safety car, you should be within, you
should be within 5 lengths of it.
DC: The safety car exiting turn 6.

JuanPit: ...safety car, you're still behind the safety car, the race is
running. The race is running.
JuanPit: P3 behind the safety car, Michael is just behind you.

DCPit: Just to remind you, when the safety car turns its lights off,
thats when you're allowed to uhh, thats the signal that it will come
into the pits, and at that point you can position yourself relative
to the safety car for the restart. The control line is the line just
in front of the grid.

[7:00]
RSPit: Craig, whereabouts is Ralf?
RSPit: I havnt seen him yet?
RSPit: Dicky, you're chasing down Ralf, to find out where he is?
RSPit: Nah.. a long way off. Here he comes only in the pit lane now.
Down by the Ferrari garage.
RSPit: And if can we do a power cycle please? Power cycle.
RSPit: one second Mike, one second.

DC: Getting quite a bit of vibration from these tyres. Was the
balance checked?
DCPit: Yes David, they were, I think its just the debris on the tyres.
DCPit: Dont ride the brakes, dont ride the brakes. Just do hard
stabs if you need to. Just do hard stabs. Dont glaze the brakes.
DC: ...safety car pace is quite low so its a little bit tricky to do
anything, but everyone's in the same boat.
DCPit: Understood David, understood.

Unk: ...tyre pressure sensors on these tyres, and everything looks
ok at the moment.

HHF: There was a red light when I gone out under safety car.
HHFPit: What, you mean in the pit lane you had a red light?
HHF: Right, thats correct, I had a red light at the pit lane exit
when you sent me off. What do I have to do now?
HHFPit: I think you'll have to go to the back of the queue AND we'll get
a penalty. Go to the back of the queue now, and they might let you off.
HHFPit: Keep the bloody revs up, thats why she died, mate.


[8:00]
RSPit: ...arent connected electrically. The pedals arent connected
electrically.

[9:00]
JuanPit: Repeat that please, Juan, repeat.
Juan:
JuanPit: I'll let you know, Juan, I'll let you know.

RSPit: Sam, I think you'll be up here on pit wall, please.

[10:00]
DCPit: ok David, just to confirm, you are P1, Trulli is P2, Montoya P3,
and Schumacher P4. Out of the race is Barrichello, Ralf Schumacher
and Fisichella.
DC: ok

JuanPit: Juan, just let me know how much work is going on at that first
corner, hard to see from the TV.
JuanPit: ...seeing on at the first corner, is the first corner clear?

JVPit: ...scenario, if you know what I mean.
[probably the 'monaco scenario' also mentioned later]
Jacques: Yeah, I know what you mean.
JVPit: And so, everything you can do to help that situation.
Jacques: ...position ...the race...
Jacques: You want me to [...] mix 1?


[11:00]
RSPit: ok Carl, convert it back to Juan on the T-car, we cant use
Ralf anymore.
RSPit: sorry, ignore, we cant use anyway now. The T-car's dead.

[12:00]
DCPit: uhh David just increase the revs for a lap please, just
increase the revs for a lap to bring up the oil temperature. Confirm.
DC: ok, increase revs.
DCPit: ok David, and go to E5 please. E5.
DC: ok, E5.

JVPit: ok, do you know... as far as the [...] is concerned its 1
click clockwise?
JVPit: ok, be aware, there are only 11 cars, 11 cars on your lap.
Jacques: 10-4.

[12:50]
JuanPit: ...confirm that is now correct, that is now correct.

DCPit: ok David, just keep the RPM up for the time being please,
keep the RPM up.

Unk: safety car comes in at the end of this lap.

DCPit: ok David, they're calling the safety car in this lap. Go to E1,
go to E1, and remember to position yourself when you see those, at
sector 2 I think it will be, you'll see the safety car light comes
off, at that point position yourself on the track for the restart.
And go to E1.
DC: E1, sector 2, understand.

JuanPit: Remember Juan, no overtaking until the start finish line.

Jacques: Say again, what was that? I cant hear you.
JVPit: ok Jacques, lights are out, if you can hear me, lights are
out, pace car will be in this lap.
Jacques: 10-4
JVPit: Mix 4, mix 4 and get some heat in the tyres.
Jacques: say again?
JVPit: The only car behind you is fast, is Raikonnen.
JVPit: ...need to heat up the tyres.

Unk: ...as quick as possible.

JVPit: Toyota are 1 lap down. 1 lap down, Toyota.

[Safety car goes in. JPM runs wide on the oil at turn 3 and loses
a place. Race order is currently Coulthard, Trulli, Montoya,
M.Schumacher, Irvine, de la Rosa, Sato]

JuanPit: ok, It'll be set 40.
JuanPit: ready, set 40.
JuanPit: No fuel, Carl? No fuel?
JuanPit: ...fuel just set 40 if we have a puncture.
JuanPit: ok Carl, set 40, no fuel. Check the suspension...
JuanPit: Juan, repeat, how is the car now? How is the car now?
Are you stopping or not?
JuanPit: Juan, are you stopping or not? Confirm, are you stopping or not?
Juan: [...]
JuanPit: Confirm if you are carrying on or not.
Juan: [...]
JuanPit: Copy that.

[17:00]
RSPit: Gone through, Carl. Gone through.
RSPit: ok Sam just keep us posted. We'll talk on this channel, yeah?
...been through T1, if its been his normal T1 time, you can stand
down, ok?
RSPit: ok

RSPit: ok, stand down Carl.
RSPit: ok. Standing down...

JVPit: Mix 4 please mix 4 please. [Japanese voice, perhaps a Honda guy]
JVPit: ok, Monaco scenario not realistic, please mix 4.
JVPit: Its only lap 7 though.
JVPit: Confirm mix 4 please, mix 4.
Jacques: 10-4.


[21:00 Jarno Trulli in second place spins off because of oil
on the exit of turn 2. Safety car comes out again.]
[Race order is currently Coulthard, M.Schumacher, Montoya, Irvine]

DCPit: ok, the safety car is being deployed, David, the safety car is
being deployed.
DCPit: Theres a yellow turn err turn 3 I think it is.
DC: ...which is probably why someones gone off there. I think its
worth you letting them know so they can put cement out.

JuanPit: Safety car Juan, safety car for Trulli.

JVPit: Safety car is out, Jacques, safety car is out.

Unk: Safety car is being deployed.

JuanPit: Copy that. Increase diff H, increase diff H.

DCPit: ....ll [Michael?] is the car that will be forming up behind you.

DC: entry is still a bit lively at the moment. Mid corner understeer
isnt too bad. I'm not able to really nail it on the exit at the moment.
DCPit: ok, understood David, understood.

JuanPit: Copy that, theres an awful lot of debris on the circuit at
the moment.

DCPit: David, do you have options to increase the diff locking on the
A-switch? Increase the A-switch will mean more locking for the entry.
DC: I think its a general sliding. A grip issue. I think I'll leave
it as it is at the moment.
DCPit: Understood, David.

JVPit: ...Raikonnen is on the same lap as you, he is on the same
lap, he is in P5, Irvine is in P4 for the last straight.

DCPit: ok David, just a reminder, 5 car lengths. And we'll let you
know when they're going to bring the safety car in.
DC: ok, 5 car lengths.

RSPit: ...channel... puncture or something... set 40... The fuel nossle...
RSPit: ok mate, hear me now? Set 40 and fuel.

JVPit: Box box box, box box box, and fuel and tyres, please boys.
Jacques: [...]
JVPit: Jacques, confirm, box box box, we're going to put fuel and
tyres in.
JVPit: Jacques, box box box, you must box, please please please, box
box box.
JVPit: ...boys, come on.
JVPit: ...everything Jacques, cause you've gotta catch the pack up
again, come on, come on, come on.
JVPit: ok Jacques, you know the scenario, so you gotta do everything
you can. Its gonna be fucking tight.
JVPit: ...back of the pack. ...catch the pack, Jacques, come on, you
gotta push to catch the pack.
JVPit: Come on Jacques, every bit you make here is, every bit you
make is important.

JuanPit: ...looks like it was brakes. Brake problems, so concentrate
on trying to keep the brakes at a reasonable temperature but not glazed.
Juan: ...what happened, theres oil in the [racing?] line. Braking for
turn 3, and I got in the fucking oil.

DCPit: ok David, go to E5 please. Go to position E5.
DC: ok E5.
DCPit: ok, the positions are yourself, followed by Michael Schumacher,
Montoya, Irvine, Kimi and Sato.

UnkDriver: ...we think they're light on fuel.

JVPit: ...lap, safety car in this lap.
JVPit: Safety car in at the end of this lap.
JVPit: Jacques?

DCPit: ...coming in this lap, David. Be alert that the safety car
is going to come in this lap.
DCPit: ...position E1.
DCPit: Confirm you can hear me, safety car in this lap, position E1.
DC: E1, safety car in.

JuanPit: Juan, you copy?

JVPit: Push push push, the safety car in in this lap.
JVPit: Are you up with the pack?
JVPit: you gotta save fuel wherever you can, you gotta save fuel
wherever you can.

[Safety car comes in, but in the second last corner before it
does, Coulthard goes off when his gearbox starts to fail.]

Unk: Rejoining the circuit.

HHFPit: Heinz, I would wait for blue flags if I were you.
HHFPit: ok, you've got a waved blue flag, Heinz, so let Villeneuve
through please.
HHF: ...thought it was better to let him go.
HHF: ...no more stop anymore
HHFPit: Say again please.
HHF: ...no more stop.
HHF: Villeneuve wont stop anymore. Very heavy.
HHFPit: ok
HHFPit: ...so far, Heinz. Pull away from him if you can, obviously.

[Jacques has an unexpected drive through pit lane]
Jacques: You want me to come in?
Jacques: Coming in.
JVPit: ...back in, so you're free to go.
Jacques: Why did you call me in?
JVPit: If you dont want to stop, go through, go through, if you dont
want to stop go through, cause I didnt call you!
Jacques: ...printed box box box on my fucking screen!

Unk: Can you just confirm that lap, that we can go to?

Unk: For your information, for some reason they're giving you a
waved blue flag, I dont know why.

JuanPit: Oil pump Juan, oil pump.

[39:00 Frentzen is given the blag flag]
HHFPit: Heinz, early afternoon I'm afraid. You got the black flag
for leaving the pits with the red lights on.
HHF: Yes, you want me to come in?
HHFPit: Yep, you got a black flag I'm afraid. Game over.
HHF: Coming in.
HHFPit: Copy that, Heinz.

JVPit: Try and conserve fuel, Jacques. Try and conserve fuel.
JVPit: Keep looking after your fuel. Next two places are
relatively easy. You will catch the next two easily, then you
need to save fuel, so dont burn too much.

DCPit: Stay out, David, stay out. We're trying to fix it [...]
telemetry.
DC: Yeah, I've got a problem with the gearchange.
DCPit: ok, tell us what the problem is, David, tell us what
the problem is.
DC: ok, its not shifting down, its doing the repeat shift down.
We're stuck in 6th gear.
DCPit: ok, we're investigating the problem. Just stay out on
the circuit. Keep going.

[Coulthard calls his technical support hotline, and is put on hold]
DC: ok, its err it'll shift up to 7th, but it wont go down below 6th
gear.
DCPit: ok, we're investigating.
DCPit: ...seconds ahead of Irvine. You are P4, you're 25 seconds
ahead of Irvine. Just keep going.
DC: ok, I'm struggling to keep it on the circuit though, because
it wont change down and the blip the clutch doesnt lift it pushes
me on.
DCPit: ok, we'll get back to you as soon as we can, David, we'll get
back to you as soon as we can.

[45:00]
DC: Should I keep attempting to change gear, or I just drive around
in 6th until we're out of the points?
DCPit: Just keep going David, and the uhh easist way for you to stay
on the circuit. Just keep going and we're looking at it, and we're
starting to uhh understand the problem.
DCPit: There are only 9 cars on the circuit, there are only 9 cars
on the circuit.
DC: ok


RSPit: Can you hear that? Carl? So if he came in now, and set 40
and fuel.

JuanPit: Oil pump, Juan. Oil pump.

Unk: 45 kilos...

Unk: ok mate, what we're going to do is come back in.

Unk: ...wont come back in for quite a few laps yet.

JVPit: Coulthard ahead, 10 seconds off the pace.
JVPit: Coulthard ahead, Coulthard, 10 seconds off the pace.

DCPit: ok David, you are P6, Villeneuve is 5 seconds behind
you, the next 2 cars are a lap down. So you are P6, Villeneuve
is 5 seconds behind you. The last 2 cars in the race are 1 lap
down.
DC: ok
DCPit: ok David, try shifting up and down, try shifting up and down
to see if the gearbox frees up, just keep an eye on your mirrors
for Schumacher, he's about 6 seconds behind you.
DC: ok
DC: It doesnt want to shift, its stuck in 6th gear, it wont go below
that. All it does is blip the engine and push me off.
DCPit: ok undstood that, let Schumacher through.
DC: It'll go up to 7th gear and then back down to 6th, but thats it.
DCPit: Understood David, understood, we're still looking at the problem.
You are still in P7. Its worth staying out for the time being.

DCPit: You're getting a blue flag, David, you're getting a blue flag.
Let the car through.
DC: I dont see any car.
DC: ok, you've got Montoya and Kimi, about 2 seconds behind you.

JVPit: uhh blue flag Jacques, Michael behind, P1.

[52:00 Jacques' rear wing falls off]
Jacques: ...with the car, Jock, what was it?
JVPit: uhh looks like the fuckin' rear wing mate, but I think that
was after, rather than before.

RSPit: Standby Carl. Set 40 and fuel.
RSPit: ok Sam.

DCPit: ok David, you are currently P6, you are currently P6.
Theres only 8 cars in the race. The two cars behind you are still
1 lap down.

JuanPit: Oil pump Juan, oil pump.

[1:00:50]
RSPit: Carl, Juan will be going 2 laps longer. Set 40 and fuel.
RSPit: ok, no worries.

DC: Can you tell me where the traffic, I didnt see the Jaguar
coming up behind me.
DCPit: Understand David, once Michael's passed, you've got 15
seconds or so.

Unk: Terry to Ray, Terry to Ray, six five, six five point zero.

JuanPit: I havnt shown him oil pump yet, I'm gonna show him this time
by, this time by.

Unk: Can I have conformation of that and a reply please.

WebberPit: ok mate, box this lap, in this lap.
WebberPit: Easy in lap, easy in lap, ok, easy in lap.

[DC stops on the side of the road]
DC: ...so now I cant get going in 6th gear.
DC: ...leave the engine running, I'll see if the marshalls'll push me.
DCPit: ok David, understood.
DC: Yeah, made me think that Kimi was right behind Montoya, so I
pulled over to the [] room for them [] and then I realised he isnt
that close and I've almost come to a stop.
DCPit: ok David, understood.
DCPit: David, try using the handclutch to slip the clutch.
DC: I've stopped. I've stopped on the track, I'm coming back to the pits.
DCPit: Understood.

1:05:00]
[Webber pits, but to get around an electronics problem his race
engineer asks him to turn the pit limiter off. Unfortunatly this
also means the fuel filler flap is closed, and so they have to ask
Webber to turn the control back on again. In the rush, they manage
to lever it open with a screwdriver.]

WebberPit: Mark, speed control off, remember to switch it on when
you leave.
WebberPit: Mark, turn the pit limiter on, turn the pit limiter on!
WebberPit: Mark, just be careful when you take off that it doesnt
get anti-stall. Drive slowly, carefully. Pit limiter Mark, pit
limiter.

[Its now time for Montoya to pit. Raikonnen stays out on old
tyres an extra lap, and puts in a quick time.]
JuanPit: ...can I have confirmation please, can I have confirmation.
JuanPit: I can confirm that, I can confirm that message.
JuanPit: yes, pits confirm.
JuanPit: Pit lane is all clear, Carl. Pit lane is all clear.

JuanPit: Juan, watch the white line on the exit, push flat out on
this out lap, cause Raikonnen's on good tyres now.

Unk: just rears, just rears!

Unk: kilos at six five point six. [65.6]

[1:13:00]
Webber: Can you confirm that mate, that 1 lap ahead of P6?
WebberPit: Confirm, you are 1 lap ahead of P6. One lap ahead of P6.

Webber: Mate, I'm getting HUGE wheelspin on one wheel. Can I
change the diff if that will help it? I'm worried about
reliability with the diff. Big spin.
WebberPit: Mark, you have no diff pressure. You have had no diff
pressure for 25 laps. You have no diff pressure, ok? Treat it
sweet and bring it home.

Unk: Ray to Swanee, Ray to Swanee, we have 43.7 kilos, 43.7 kilos.

[1:26:00]
WebberPit: Concentrate Mark, Salo closing, concentrate, Salo closing.

Irvine: Is Salo going for position?
IrvinePit: No, no, no.
IrvinePit: Salo is a lap down, Salo is a lap down.

WebberPit: Theres still about 5 laps, do not let him through, 5 laps,
do not let him through.

WebberPit: Mark, you are fighting for position, do not let
him through, you are fighting for position.

[1:37:30 Salo spins in the oil at turn 3]
WebberPit: ok, Mark, low revs ok low revs, take it easy.
WebberPit: Salo out, Salo out. Take it easy, low revs, 1 more lap
after this.

[1:39:04 Michael Schumacher wins the Australian Grand prix.]
[Race time of 1:35:37. Montoya finishes in second place]
JuanPit: ...effort Juan, well done.
JuanPit: Well done, Juan.
JuanPit: Remember pick up plenty of rubber. Pick up plenty of
rubber, Juan. Remember your shutdown sequence. You need to go to
the end of the pit lane, you need to go to the end of the pit lane.

[Mark Webber finishes 5th]
WebberPit: Fantastic mate, absolutely fantastic. Remember pick up
the marbles on the in lap, pick up the marbles on the in lap, ok.
Webber: yes guys, fuckin' brilliant!
WebberPit: Well done everybody, fantastic job, well done.
WebberPit: Fantastic Mark, Absolutely fantastic!

WebberPit: Absolutely fantastic, mate, fantastic.
WebberPit: From lap 5, you are a star.
Webber: ...this [...] is fuckin' unbelievable, I cant believe
it... ohh fuck!
WebberPit: fantastic, mate.

en liten kul händelse.

HHF: There was a red light when I gone out under safety car.
HHFPit: What, you mean in the pit lane you had a red light?
HHF: Right, thats correct, I had a red light at the pit lane exit
when you sent me off. What do I have to do now?
HHFPit: I think you'll have to go to the back of the queue AND we'll get
a penalty. Go to the back of the queue now, and they might let you off.
HHFPit: Keep the bloody revs up, thats why she died, mate.

Vi vet ju hur det gick sen..

DC får hjälp inför starten.

DCPit: Just to remind you, when the safety car turns its lights off,
thats when you're allowed to uhh, thats the signal that it will come
into the pits, and at that point you can position yourself relative
to the safety car for the restart. The control line is the line just
in front of the grid.

Tack för det regenmeister. Väldigt intressant och lärorikt. En del som jag inte förstod så mycket av men orkar inte ta det nu.

Postar du ett likadant efter Sepang så blir jag glad!

Den här var också lite kul, inte för JV dock...

[Jacques has an unexpected drive through pit lane]
Jacques: You want me to come in?
Jacques: Coming in.
JVPit: ...back in, so you're free to go.
Jacques: Why did you call me in?
JVPit: If you dont want to stop, go through, go through, if you dont
want to stop go through, cause I didnt call you!
Jacques: ...printed box box box on my fucking screen!

Sen tappade han vingen - jag tror nog BAR behöver skärpa till sig lite.

Förresten verkar det som om DC såg oljan som Trulli inte såg. Konstigt att de inte gjorde något åt den när de ändå hade SC:n ute.

En annan intressant grej är att både Williams och Minardi säger åt sina förare att plocka upp så mycker gummi som de kan från banan innan de kommer in i depå efter racet. Tror att Steve Matchett sade att man gjorde det för att samla på sig lite extra vikt i fall man skulle råka ligga nära gränsen.
Däckens sammanlagda yta borde vara nåt i stil med 3m^2, eller 300dm^2. Om man lyckas belägga hela ytan med 1 extra mm gummi på väg till depå så motsvarar det 3 liter gummi. Om gummi väger 2kg/liter så är det 6 kg extra vikt.
Jag vet inte hur mycket gummi som kan tänkas fastna på däcken men ibland kan man ju med blotta ögat se att det fastnar skit på däcken och det kan bildas rätt stora klumpar på banan. De fastnar däremot knappast i däcken.
Det kan ju faktiskt vara skillnaden mellan 601kg eller 599 kg och en diskning.

Den här var lite intr. oxå:
[52:00 Jacques' rear wing falls off]
Jacques: ...with the car, Jock, what was it?
JVPit: uhh looks like the fuckin' rear wing mate, but I think that was after, rather than before.

Vad är det egentligen JVPit menar med "but I think that was after, rather than before"....att vingen lossnade efter krashen....öh
