You cannot make up this shit. There was actually a marshall running across the track towards Checo's burning car.
Right in front of Lando coming in hot.
Madness.

Yes. We saw that.

They need to close the books on this one ASAP.

Yes. Horrible reminder. It's like we took a time machine back to the 60s and 70s. Only no death.

I can imagine how that fireball felt to GRO. We could feel the heat flash from Bordais from 150 meters away. GRO was in an inferno.

Best angle of the miracle that saved Grosjean today. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug!

Yes the three drivers and Whiting were the ones who immediately pushed for the development of a safety device to protect against trauma like the one that killed Bianchi.

Well,a quick recap tells that luck was on HAM's side yet again with PER car igniting and race declared finished with 5 laps to go and Max having every chance of hauling HAM in with the time remaining.

Also their super human fitness training helps a lot.

Max wasn't hauling HAM in at a rate to catch him. Look at the data.

He was catching him at an incredible rate and with a few more laps with tyre deg... throw the data to the dogs.

Lol asking them to look at data and facts? Never bro.

Ham had a ton of pace left in the bag and controlled the gap at will, anticipated
Possible safety car. He will win the next 2

i guess this accident will change some of the barriers in every track.. or increasing the halo strength and cars bolting points.. such a crazy scary moment that has super high G's and fire.. Grosjean is lucky to be alive and at the same thanks to all safety regs up until this year..

i guess it was 3L MK even if the fire looks pretty intense for 3L.. but one way or another its a race fuel that ignites easier and burns in higher temps.. and if its like 3 gals it means more than 11 liters it means its like more or less 10% of the full load of fuel.. probably there ll be some changes with the collectors capacity or somehow where its placed etc in future.. combination of worst scenario possible but at least cockpit wasnt upside down then it d be very very nasty...

Incredible. And the impact was likely to be north of 50 G.

Roger Williamson was horribly killed like this at Zandvoort upside down on fire despite David Purley's attempt to turn car over.

By the Mercs advantages...The W11 is a lot faster than the RB16 !
The W11 just pulled away from behind the safety car by the DAS advantage ..
Coming out of a corner , the W11 pulls 0.2 sec away from the RB16 !
