The Formula One Thread

Well yeah, that would have been the case. I’m glad VR decided to stay and dominate on 2 wheels.

Dbag Alonso, oth, claiming he could podium in MotoGP with a little practice.

 

That was damn near a new keyboard moment...damn near. lol

 

Now that was stupid on a scale that requires all new measurements.

Dominate? That's what you call the past decade?

 

I hear ya. I think it shows how much it helps to know the track.

 

Most dominant bridesmaid?

 

Love the sound of the old F1 car....

 

Sophia Floersch, the girl involved in that horrific F3 crash at Macau, seems to be doing well and ran into someone on her way out of Macau.

 

No mention of the new Haas livery?

 

Is that permanent, or just winter?

 

No idea, I just found this pic on another site with very little info.

 

Another view of Hulkenberg's crash, imagine trying to get out of there when you see fire

 

What a great pic for so many reasons.

 

Or the fire may have been a moot point if the halo was not there and his head was smashed like a watermelon. Who is to say?

 

Even if he isn't smooshed and there is no halo, I cant imagine there would be a lot of room to crawl out there.

 

Can't remember whether it was Martin Brundle or Derek Warwick but one of them managed to get out of an upside down car after a big smash at Monza some years ago. IIRC they legged it back to the pits and got in the spare car.

 

At some point, you're gotta play statistics. What's more likely? Flying object/car, or upside down car against a wall?

 

Why would his head be smashed w/o the halo?

 

Brundle Australia 96, too, not sure he ended up on his head though. It was in the excellent documentary, One, I think it's called.

 

Its too bad they cant use V12's any more ... listen to this motor!

or rather, upside-down AND engulfed in flames. this year alone has shown has that flying object/car is A LOT more likely than the latter. the FIA expected 1 incident over 2 years where the halo definitely prevented an injury. instead, we got 2 incidents this year.
