As he said himself in the interview, by the time Max was jumping out of his car Lewis was already trying to reverse to dislodge his car and get back into the track so there was no worries of him not being okay.

Yeah, it’s very hard to say how it would have panned out without the halo. It is higher at the front than in the back and the tyre still pressed on Hamilton’s helmet. Maybe there is room for improvement there.

@eurobrun good question.

Yeah. Another demonstration of the quality of F1’s broadcast.

I hope he gets well soon. But I wonder what happens with his mechanics, other team members and even others on the paddock at large who had close contact with him during the weekend. Will they all have to isolate?

That is likely considering Monza is just next week.

@macleod, regarding the W series accident, I wonder if the halo could have blocked their view.

Incredible how Ericsson’s car was able to continue after that. Sturdy suspensions on those Indys.

@randommallard, he was clearly faster but it’s unlikely he was that much faster. Many drivers were able to stay close but had trouble overtaking. Even Hamilton couldn’t pass Sainz for 15 laps with similarly aged […]

I don’t know about that. Vettel and Ocon had tyres with similar age throughout the whole race and Vettel’s car wasn’t that much faster considering how difficult it was to overtake.

@rvg013 wow. First I’ve heard of that happening. Never liked those helicopters flying so low.

@peartree might as well be. I imagine Hamilton would try to clear Leclerc as soon as possible and build up a gap to come out of the pits in front of him if he had the pace to do it but it makes sense to extend the […]

That’s exactly why I picked these two names. They are far from “top talent” but if they were to race in F1 they would not pose any greater safety risk (causing heavy crashes, spinning in the pit lane, not […]

@sean-p-newmanlive-co-uk, as far as I remember that was the exact justification for introducing super license points in the first place.

Clearly just competing in IndyCar should be more than enough qualification to be able to earn a super license. Take drivers like Ed Jones or Connor Daly for instance. There is no safety or performance related […]

So I expect a track where racing is even more boring than Sochi.
@unitedkingdomracing, I don’t think that is possible. This track can only be an improvement.

@dmw there should be a confirmation pop-up.

Another 2 tyre failures for Pirelli’s tally. I guess we can be thankful neither driver crashed into the pit lane divisor barriers that Rosberg pointed as the most dangerous of the season.

@nanotech, yeah. I could understand if they built the track after the houses but when the racetrack was there first I cannot fathom how these lawsuits have any leg to stand on.

Same thing happened here in my […]

@neiana, don’t forget Sato and Bourdais.
