pro tip: when it's a really serious accident, Sky F1 don't fill the time hand wringing over Lewis' poo poo rear end quali lap, they get Martin Brundle on to talk about the many times he nearly died.

Yeah it's just a nasty track configuration. You can excuse something like Grosjean at Bahrain because that was a really weird place for a car to crash but that's not an uncommon way to bin it in a fast s-bend section.

On viaplay someone is interviewing Mika who immediately brought up Michael Schumacher's condition which was kinda hilariously insensitive

Commentator on the viaplay channel confirmed that the blocks at the impact site are just individual 4 ton concrete block that are bolted to each other (and not the ground). Seems wild, I mean I guess it's good that they can move slightly to dissipate impact, but it's literally a heavy concrete wall.


edit: Confirmed that Schumacher has no physical injuries.

We can talk seriously about how the FIA actively obstructs better essential safety equipment like superior helmet certifications in karting if you want to seriously want to talk about safety and a group of us actively got told we can't use the ECE helmet standard as opposed to the SA standard which was designed for passenger car impacts, if you're just crying because you watched a crash for the first time maybe you should be the one who fucks off.

The hand wringing over safety in F1 when they get given everything and the every man racing gets gently caress all attention is horrendous and my eyes roll into the back of my head every time people react like this over an F1 crash.

No replay is now mandated as long as the driver condition is unknown. Stations used to ghoulishly re-run crashes where drivers got injured or died, so now the F1 broadcast contract forbids that. Once the driver is confirmed okay, you'll notice we got plenty of replays and angles.

Radio contact was lost in the crash, so there was no 'okay' message possible.
