Wonder if it was McNish/Capello in the R10?

Default Thanks a lot for sharing that. FWIW---->

That is an R10, and the article reads that McNish dodged the flying Courage. I see him brake after it goes by to avoid running under it as it crosses his path the second time. I think the first miss was just luck. It came over his right shoulder and I doubt he saw it at all till it passed through his mirrors. Got to give him credit for not spinning when It flashed by. I probably would have.
