Not sure that was a wise gap for Gasly to go for tbh, Russell was always going to move left a bit to get ready for turn 1.

Has anyone seen the pic of Zhou wedged between the chain link fence and the Armco behind the tyre wall?

The flip was because it hit gravel wasn't it? Car digs in rather than skidding along at that point but still plenty of force so whipped it up and barrelling over the barrier.

This.

He’s upside down originally because the contact lifted him and it flips, lands upside down and then slides along the ground, digs in the gravel causing it to barrel roll into and over the tyre wall into the fence. Everything did it’s job I guess.

He's one lucky boy, and it's no surprise that despite being uninjured it took them forever to get him out.

Not only has the halo proved its worth (again), but the work put in over the years on fuel tank safety (and the survival cell) has too. I dread to think about a fuel leak here.

That's amazing. Incredible engineering.

What's that? A Red Bull exceeding track limits but not getting binned out of quali? He'll now qualify 5th with Lewis in the wall, so benefits even if he gets 5 places.

Yeah don't get that, it was obvious live.

 

[Nando]

Ouch Mercedes. That's an expensive ten minutes.

Perez Q3 times deleted and lap in Q2. Starts 13th in the sprint race.

Just the five hours to sort it.

Apparently it wasn't picked up as he left the track before the zone. Stewards decided they were very very busy at the time and couldn't look at it until after the session.

Not sure Russel could have done much to stop the collision but not sure why he moved so much to the inside allowing Perez the opportunity to go round him in the first place.

 

[Nando]

Charles is an absolute demon. So good.

He definitely drifted back towards Perez slightly on the apex.

Yeah for sure. But the incident never happens if he just follows the Ferrari, which means there’s no where for Perez to go. Instead moves inside, brakes really early and just leaves the door wide open for Perez

Fucking Ferrari engine units. Sainz didn’t deserve that and was driving a great race.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That looks a big prang for Leclerc

 

[Nando]

That's the Championship over.

 

[Nando]

Ferrari are fucking idiots.
