Any Formula 1 Fans?
- Thread starter ridiculous
- Start date

A lot of crabonz nderp bikes could be had for the cost of that little mishap.

I'd read about it earlier but hadn't seen footage. The driver fractured her spine.

Read that 3 photographers and a marshal got pretty beat up too.
Supposedly no spinal damage though. The other driver involved had a helmet scuff, but most of the impact went to the halo. Second major incident this year that the halo took a major hit while the drive took a minor one.
hitting the top of her head at 171 mph and not dying is insane. hopefully what the driver she hit said about being a sudden, random yellow, wasnt true.
Excited to see week two of pre-season underway and trying to guess the form of each team. Only a couple of weeks until the season opener in Australia.
Everyone loves a parade!
The wife has run out of crap to watch and I came in to her watching "F1 Driven to Survive". Holy hell, it's really good.

This was a great race.
Fairytale win not to be but George Russell sends powerful message to F1 and Mercedes
A fairytale victory slipped through George Russell's fingers but there was no doubting the power of the message he sent at the Sakhir GP, writes Andrew Benson.

Agreed, couldn't believe when he got the puncture and dropped down to ~15th. I thought he'd even miss out on his first points, so at least he fought back to 9th.And the kid proves just how good Hamilton's Mercedes really is.

He also got a point for fastest lap, I think, of which he ran several on the tear up to the front after that awful pit and tire fiasco.
Unbelievable performance by Russell in a car that doesn't fit him. Sure, it's the fastest car (no one can deny that) but watching him stomp though the field after the pitstop mess and then again after the puncture was something else.
I'm sure that some at Merc are asking "How much are we paying Hamilton?". I'm also pretty sure that Valterri is one nervous guy right about now.

It's a shame that Russel will likely be back in a Williams next year, rather than something competitive.
It would be great to see some more competition at the front of the grid. I think next year will likely be similar to this from a constructors standpoint with the rules change being delayed due to COVID and current Ferrari engines running like 2-strokes.
In boots 1 size too small so he fit in the car. Hamilton is a little dude. 
Completely agree. I don't think it will happen next year but I'd like to see him at Merc and giving Hamilton a fight - and we know how much he doesn't like that (Rosberg?). I'd also like to see Perez at RB as I think he'd be able to give Verstappen a fight - and he seems like he'd like a fight. That might spice up the front of the grid...?
Dude looked like the Jolly Green Giant in that car. I was actually wondering about the effectiveness of the halo with his head that high.In boots 1 size too small so he fit in the car. Hamilton is a little dude.
Looks like Russell will be back to his normal jalopy this weekend:
Lewis Hamilton to race at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday

Excited for this as well. Like you, I wasn’t sure if they could pull it off, but was pretty happy when my wife showed me that they did.
I also dropped the coin for a 1 year subscription to the official F1 app on Roku, which has lots of features including live radio feeds from all teams. It will be interesting to see how that works. You can also watch most of the races going back to the early ’80’s, which is great when there’s nothing on. You might want to check it out if you haven’t already.
This season is getting so damn good. The battle for first, a packed midfield, so much good racing.
I'd be amazed if it's not Verstappen again on Sunday.
Me too, he's driving really well. But Mercedes said they had some tweaks, so who knows. I love seeing Alphatauri do well.
Seriously, that kid in the McLaren is killing it. Lando taking p2 in a car that is maybe 5th fastest on the grid. Skills.
Also Russell needs to be in the Mercedes. He'd be fighting for a title

Yeah, Bottas has been in that Mercedes for long enough without achieving enough. Giving Russell a full season would be good to see.Also Russell needs to be in the Mercedes. He'd be fighting for a title

Talk about dudes out qualifying their teammate, Russell is crushing his and half the field in that weak ass car. Look what he did in a car he didn't fit in. He will be crushing in a top ride.
lol at that tweet.
Got to be the only GP where just one car was on the grid for the start. Looks like Vettel might be getting DQ'd too, bumping Hamilton to 2nd.
edit: I was miffed that Norris couldn't take the restart.

Holy hell, tomorrow will be awesome. This track is nutty and fast. Perez got cut in Q1, so Max is all by himself up front except for Gasley in P4.
Like many, I wasn't a big fan of the halo when it was introduced. However, there's no denying its effectiveness.
