The F1 Thread

[Kenny]

Superb show on Sky F1 last night about Jochen Rindt. Well worth a watch.

No idea if it was different to what they showed in the Race to Perfection series on Sky Docs but if he haven't watched that then get on it. Brilliant series. each episode covers a different angle. So one week on tragedy whcih of course has Rindt and Senna in. Come backs, such as Niki after his accident and retirement. Key drivers, the teams etc.

Holy shit that doesn’t look good

Fucking hell. Haas car literally explodes into flames as it hits the wall in Bahrain. Hope he's OK.

 

[Nando]

Fucking hell - that is scary. How has that happened? Fingers crossed for Romain.

 

[The Bear]

He looks OK. Thank fuck for that.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Thank God Grosjean is okay. That looked horrendous

 

[Kenny]

Looks like he has fooked his leg from the impact. Thankfully he hit an area where the Marshalls could get to him quickly and put the flames out.

 

[Kenny]

Fuck!! His car split in 2!!

 

[Kenny]

One lucky man there indeed

 

[Nando]

Goodness me. That is absolutely horrific.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

How on earth has he survived that? Jesus. Brilliant bravery by that Marshall there as well to pull him out.

 

[Kenny]

How he has got out of that alive i have no clue!. Front of the car is mangled in the barrier

 

[The Bear]

Wow. That is incredible.

 

[Kenny]

It gets worse on every replay.

 

[Kenny]

Going to be a while before this is going again, if at all.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Two hours minimum I reckon. That’s why the medical car follows the first lap.

 

[Kenny]

Unbelievable work from the medical team and Marshalls there.

 

[Kenny]

Haas reporting he has minor burns and possible broken ribs.

Thats his F1 done then as he was leaving in 2 races anyway

 

[Tredman]

That was fucking horrible in real time, genuinely thought there was no chance of him making it.

 

[The Bear]

First time I've audibly gasped watching an F1 race, seeing it burst into flames as it hit the barrier.
