I remember seeing that 20-minute footage live and direct on national TV (back in those days footage of situations like these were broadcast without restriction on national television worldwide - unthinkable nowadays).

An Austrian flag was found furled inside Senna's cockpit: he had planned to pay tribute to Austrian F1 rookie Roland Ratzenberger after the race (victory lap or podium) who had fatally crashed the day before (qualifications).

I still can't get over watching that vid and all the speculation why Senna lost control well before the Tamburello but for sure a combination of things all at once rather than just one.

The track is very fast definitely, VET must be thanking that he still tested + for the covid to miss this one.

Mags has had a hydraulic issue and won't be back out probably for the day.

M5Rick · 03-25-2022, 11:04 AM

I have watched him introduce himself as Guanyu Zhou and google says Zhou is his last name. But everything I see F1 related and the announcers keep saying Zhou Guanyu

Steering column failure. I was so pissed at Williams for killing the greatest driver of all time for so long but the more I delve into it, apparently Ayrton had requested pieces to be cut out to make room.

Aramco oil facility attacked by rockets...22 miles from the track.

I think the documentary explains what happened very well.

Most definitely.

Max, Charles, KMags are the most aggressive drivers out there. The next level would be guys like Alonso who has wisdom/experience on his side. Albon is actually surprisingly aggressive from everything I've seen. Just needs some more time.

I love that we have more aggressive drivers on the grid.

I even looked through some of the legal stuff translated from Italian. Stress/fatigue marks were identified on the steering column. I wish there were photos because this stuff is my specialty. Watching him flying through that corner with steering angle when suddenly the car starts tracking straight is terrifying.

Love that movie. Love Ayrton Senna. I doubt there will ever be a driver as great as him.

Some porpoising on the Ferrari:

Looks like this issue still isn't 100% solved.

FP1 highlights.

MAX was very surprised , the moment when a gust of wind blew him completely off-track !

Artemis · 03-25-2022, 01:31 PM

"Session delayed
FP2 will be kicking off in 15 minutes time, after a meeting with the drivers only just finished. The marshals have also been busy repairing the track after several crashes in F2 earlier on, showing just how costly a mistake on a street track can be."

"We weren't kidding about F2 by the way - this is the remains of Logan Sargeant's car earlier on..."

IMHO. These guys are f@cking crazy !!!

Artemis · 03-25-2022, 02:13 PM

Welcome to the Jeddah circuit:

A couple of crashes in Formula 2.

GAS, NOR and SAI have brushed against barriers/wall, but no damage (except maybe SAI).

OCO almost crashed into NOR in the pitlane.

VER encountered snap oversteer (gusty winds) and almost crashed against barriers/wall.

ALB had to take evasive action to avoid crashing at high speed into slow moving HAM.

LEC has hit the wall in turn 4, breaking suspension parts (car needs repairs).

MAG had to abandon his car (technical issue - maybe related to going over kerbs).

NYG · 03-25-2022, 02:31 PM

Max roasting Netflix for making a great guy like Lando Norris look like a dick.

"Now, I think it's reached a stage where it's a bit more like "Keeping Up with the Formula 1 World" if you know my reference to... you know! I think it shouldn't be like that."

I don't know how anyone can dislike Max.
