Looks like an accident...like he hit something that put him into the air like that...front wing is borken off...part of it is under the chassis...and other side of it is on top of the car behind the driver's head...weird...

Was this at the Australian GP?

I kind of had the same reaction when I saw the race as the guy's face in the background.

Hey, it's the Williams F1 "Woody"! I'm feelin' the wood plank on the bottom.

You guys got it all wrong, that's not a wheelie... he's actually not moving. He's got hydraulics on that biatch and bounced the front end that high

The smoke at the rear is just for theatrical effect, really!

Those Williams aero engineers can't be very happy. Ralf just exposed their underbody aero to the entire world AND managed to blast quite a bit of their hard work to smithereens.

While this picture was taken the pit crew was said to be able to hear R.B. say, quote "UFO UFO!!!!!!."

Ralf is humping the back of Ruben's car not Michael. If you look closely, and realize that Ruben's rear wing is already off the car when that pic was taken, you can see Michael off of Ruben's rear right. It's just that their cars are more or less lined up, so it looks like one car.

I still wish they would have red flagged that race.

It would have been more interesting to see how long Rubeins (speeling?) would be able to hold off Michael, or Ralph or Juan........

There is no way he would hold off Michael; its in his contract. But it would be interesting to see him fend of RS and JPM.
