No F1 thread?
Re: No F1 thread?
Connected up to oxygen, hope it’s just smoke inhalation and nothing more serious long term.
How about not having a sig at all?

I’d imagine it’s just as a precaution, he’s got good skin colour and his voice doesn’t sound off

Cheap shot, kvyats only input on the first one was to be driving in a straight line on a straight and have someone chop across the front of him
Cheers, Harry

Just seen a replay again on the news. I think Grosjean is missing a shoe or it’s just burnt so it looks like a sock!

Re: No F1 thread?
Yeah I spotted that. I also didn't spot until I saw the Sky clip mik posted, but it almost looks as though the first flames erupt just before or leterally just as the car starts to hit the barrier.
Re: No F1 thread?
When I saw the fireball and then they didn't go back I was pretty worried. As others have said, possibly his season and F1 career are over but like everyone here, I am astounded he walked away relatively unhurt.
Other than that a decent midfield scrap at times but nothing sensational.
Has there been any official word on his standing down and any replacement?

Re: No F1 thread?
He is due to retire at the end of this season isn’t he? 2 races remaining?
Based solely on the reported minor nature of his injuries, I suspect there is no reason he won’t be physically fit for the last race - if not both remaining events. I think I might be counting all my chickens, thanking all the sky pixies and feigning a sore tummy though - given the scale of that crash his injuries are incredible.

Yes I don't think I'd be tempting the racing gods with the final two races of the season. I'm not a particularly religious person but if I were Romain I'd find it hard not to think this was the almighty telling me my luck was running out!
Re: No F1 thread?
Absolutely amazing how well those overalls worked in a fireball.
Dave!

Then the fire marshall who kept pointlessly spraying the front of Lance Strolls upturned car... Then got shoved out of the way by an FIA official/medicduncs500 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:41 pmI noticed that, he was hopeless... thank fuck he wasn't the only one there!
Just incredible that he got out of that with relatively minor injuries. He was in the fireball a good while as well, but when you see what he had to get himself out of it's not surprising. I know the halo saved his life, be even with the halo he was incredibly lucky to be able to find his way out.
Anyone else notice the guy with the cutting torch, cutting away at the barrier where Grosjean crashed, wasn't wearing any PPE
Very lucky that the car inbedded into the barrier in a way that Grosjean was still able to climb out. If he was trapped, it might have been a very different story...
Oui, je suis un motard.
Re: No F1 thread?
Grosjean expected to be discharged from hospital sometime tomorrow

Re: No F1 thread?
This is weird cos it isn’t how I saw it at all.
Footage I saw stayed with the leaders until it was clear he was safe.
I appreciate you must have a different view as a driver having just been starkly reminded of the dangers.

Re: No F1 thread?
No one died - why wouldn't they show it in detail? And as per Miks, they didn't show it at all until they'd established he was out.

Hamilton to miss the next GP after testing positive for Covid. It scuppers his chances of having 100 wins by the close of the season.
Re: No F1 thread?
It won’t happen, but I’d love to see George Russell get the call up

Re: No F1 thread?
That would be great. Handy the Championship is done and dusted. Hoping he doesn't get too ill with it.
