They are showing it in slomo now. George moved to the left and clipped gaslys front right. If anyone is to blame, it would be George, but I think fia decision to call it racing incident was correct.
One of the reasons that F1 originally got rid of ground effect was that when you'd get hit and floor lost contact with ground that the car would want to take off and fly into the air...
That is a really dumb rule. The order changed while racing before the flag. Don't see how there is any fairness in undoing that.
Holy shit...the protestors were on the track outside in Copse at the start...the crash might have literally saved it from an even worse crash
Mugello accident wasn't as bad as this one, but had the potential to be devastating. Half the pack going flat out, half not.
Zhou doesn't even have a fracture? My brain can't comprehend how he walks away from that effectively unscathed. Safety engineers are gods.
Carlos has to be 99.9% thrilled to get a mulligan and 0.1% terrified of blowing the same start twice in one day
I think they just said not only will it keep going from lap 2, that they’ll have a SC lap and start racing at 3 (or more?). Seems like bullshit given that the grid is back to the start.
Btw, Logan Sargeant won the F2 feature race. First American to ever do so. Currently third in the standings.
did he change tyres? i wouldn't change my strategy. RB on slicks may get past and get a gap but he's going to have to stop earlier and probably wont have a clean window
Very possible. It looked like those idiots were sitting on the track! I'm not a religious person but some sort of higher being very well may have been looking over things cause holy shit if the wave of cars were to come around a corner and they were sitting there.
to be fair, ESPN said they withheld them until they knew he was ok. Obviously because they thought it could be really bad.
George trying to argue that this car could have made it 3.5 miles back to pit road "just fine" is some aspirational gas lighting
They are going to wind up penalizing max for racing charles and not penalize sainz for running max off track on the start. I'm prepared for it.
How refreshing to have some aggressive lap 1 racing there and not have Toto or Horner on the horn bitching about it FIA gonna let em race!
