Nothing he could've done to avoid it. Apparently he's got serious leg injuries and it took 2 hours to get him out the car. You can see his knee get driven back into the cockpit.

WindyMan posted:The marshals at the corner post knew what happened immediately. Race control knew what happened immediately. It's OK that that the media and television audience didn't know what happened immediately. I don't see what the gently caress that has to do with wanting complete coverage of a live sports event.

Cygni posted:2020 P1 regs are out. "Plug in hybrid" system that makes teams run 1km on battery power after each stop, mild cost savings, and bigger cockpits. Pretty big wet fart, might explain why there have been all the rumors about Porsche and Toyota pulling out. The token system-like development restrictions they're introducing are so fundamentally moronic that I can't even believe [producer offstage whispers "ACO!"] OK yeah I can believe it.

Staying up watching it helps, the kind of strange sleep-drunk observer stage where the drivers are starting to smash personal bests with the sun coming up. I dunno, it feels like racing romance I guess. 100% agreed, it's like when you have a sleepover as a kid and stay up until sunrise.

The new LMP1H regs are just going to lead to larger budgets. F1 tried half of that poo poo already and it either didn't work at all, made teams spend more money, or (like the token system) was just idiotic. Like F1 has been restricting wind tunnel hours for years, costs have continued to rise. The silly rules about running the last km or whatever on battery power are just going to force teams to spend more on *gasp* batteries.
