It appears that the rear suspension on Glocks car broke as he went into the main straight.

He is now out of the car. He seems fine but in a bit of a shock. It was a big hit into the pit wall.

Webber looks like having an engine failure!

Piquet has lucked out and is up in 3rd! He was on a one stopper and made his stop just before the crash

Hamilton and Heidfeld did not stop during this safety car period. Was that the right move ?
