And now a massive crash in f3 at blanchimont, driver luckily ok but of to the medical centre for checks. Spa 2019 is slowly giving me an imola 94 feeling..
2019 Formula One Belgian Grand Prix

R.I.P. Hubert. Was so shocked when i seen the incident.
Still get goosebumps when i think of the indicent.
Casted a shadow over my weekend.
Always wondered why such critical corners are never cleaned betweens racing sessions.with streetsweeper trucks (huge vacuumcleaners aboard). Such a multimillion dollar event would not have any trouble to rent a bunch of these things for a weekend.
Coming out on the blind Au Rougue corner just a few inches to wide, with distorted downforce because of the cars around you. Than you end up driving on marbles and sand instead of your tires. Your car is already having a huge upwards mass combined with a really highspeed. Ending up on the outside is almost always a one way ticket to the barriers. Even in the sim with less dirt and a static road it's hard to keep the car where you need it to be if you are just outside of the ideal line.

That was bad, his car was literally under the barriers! i believe there was something wrong with them, you shouldn't be able to go underneath them with your car! i saw the footage and the pictures before its news and i was so scared to see another bad news,happy to see he is ok.
it's the advantage and the disadvantage of the halo displayed at the same time, it protected the drivers head against the tyres, but together with how low the nose of F3 cars are it works as an additional ramp which digs the car under those tyres. overall it did it's work and the driver is alive and that's all that matters
Yes exactly, halo did its job, crashing into a simple curtain(like the one on the barriers) can be lethal at more than 150Km/h without something like halo, let alone the tyres.
respect for F1 there in that spa intro, replaced the la source action zone video from last years start crash to a raikkonen-hamilton battle from 2008, no focus on massive crashes at the moment, can appreciate that 
Probably had no clue it had snapped untill he turned in, can only blame himself though, way too greedy to make up for a bad start
Oh Max. You still aren't learning it.
Looks like they are doing the right thing for both Charles & the team.
Yeah, listening to the radio about the swap was so heartwarming to see leclerc first winLooks like they are doing the right thing for both Charles & the team.
Still plenty of time left, but it's been an ok race so far. Long ways off from an all time classic, but also not terrible. I could live with this as a baseline, I think.
Gasly should be quite proud of himself. I have been very critical of Pierre, but I'm kind of hoping he finishes as the lead RB/TR car. I must be getting soft!

Ofcourse @muzikant is disagreeing on everything, Max related.
