They are designed to shed parts to get rid of energy, and that seems to have happened here.

I wonder how HaaS is going to pay for replacement, I doubt even the crash cell will be usable after this.

Double gently caress that fire marshal from earlier.

Also now I've lost my interest in watching the rest of quals. I just want this loving lovely weekend to be over and be on to Oz.

Probably because it had to drive a mile and a half to get there from where they were on track, and they are not going to be driving that fast with what might be a severely injured driver.

He's not going to race tomorrow, that's for sure.

I know, but I’ve never seen one break in that particular way. I imagine the whole thing is trash, even if you could save any of it you wouldn’t want to for many reasons.

Aren't there normally breaks in the barriers where you can leave the circuit and access the infield, and thus the medical center? Isn't this poo poo track design 101?

This track doesn’t seem to follow track design 101 if safety is your North Star.

People don't really like having tire barriers next to the track in fast sections because bad things can happen if you clip them.
