Really ugly crash… Fingers crossed that both guys can get away with it, but it was a terrible crash… 🙏🙏🙏

I totally agree.. It looked like Correa was moving in his flipped car, but it was hard to see how Hubert was doing, could ony see the tub sliding.. Hoping for the best!!

Alezi spun at Eau Rouge and Hubert crash when avoiding him, but then Correa hit Hubert at full speed… First rumors say that both guys are conscious, but lets wait for the official announcement

The driver looks secure in the cockpit at least.
But as the car spins round it looks like there is hole down the left hand side of the cockpit, which is worrying.
I really do hope he is OK.

You are right, big part of the tub ripped off. Shows the force involved.

Absolute shocker of a crash. One of those where everyone knew how serious that was straight away. Really hoping everyone is okay, but abandoning the race that quickly is not a good sign

I thought the same, I never saw a race being interrupted so fast. My thinking is that Hubert was serious injured or the worst. I really hope and I’m praying to be wrong, I can’t do anything now, I’m just waiting for some good news.

Just saw video posted on twitter by one of the spectators to the race and it really was a horrible crash. Both both the drivers are ok.

Let’s not overreact, terrible crash, but we’ve seen people jumping out after terrible crashes before. Let’s just hope they’re both ok.

It seems that Correa reported injuries to the legs, but that Hubert situation could be the worst.

Not nice :( Hubert’s car, already partially damaged, at a stand-still in middle of the run-off area hit directly in the driver tub at perpendicular angle. Hope the best for all involved

Saw it live on sky. The final car on car impact was absolutely horrific and one can only hope both drivers are ok.

Haven’t seen the crash, but I’m coming across all kind of rumors. Correa seems to have broken both his legs, but Hubert’s been reported to either be conscious or dead.
I really hope both come out okay…

Unfortunately Correa had no control of his car when he hit Hubert’s stationary car directly and side-on at near full speed just after the top of Eau Rouge. Best to wait for formal reports on the status of both drivers but especially Hubert.

The car was cut in two, lets hope that absorbed the impact. The survival cell look badly damaged however indicating it didnt.
