race on safety car before the end of the next lap

If he hadn't managed to extricate himself, for example if he'd suffered concussion or a broken leg, I think the folks who were there would have had a pretty tough job getting him out. I reckon a fire truck would have been too late.

Well someone working for Brazilian GP TV has an interesting list of phone numbers, they spoke with the director of road safety for Sao Paulo state while waiting for the restart, one thing I learned today is that the design of crash barriers is a real science, while they are there to do a job, they are designed to do that job in many different ways. Lots of talk about directional impact, momentum of force and absorption etc. Went well over my head

 

[Ax^]

Alright team mate

Which shows how well the trackside boys did. They were so quick to get stuck in as best they could. But everything about that collision was a run of good luck for Grosjean to get out at all.

So Lewis has to stop again will max go for hard tyres and stay out

Looks like it. White is hard isn't it?

 

[spitfire]

This race is now reassuringly dull.

 

[Badgers]

Daniel is faster than you...

 

[dessiato]

This race is now reassuringly dull.

Which is almost a relief in many ways.

 

[Limejuice]

Daniel is faster than you...

Esteban, Daniel is still faster than you...

How could Pirelli get their tyre choice so wrong, they said fastest is Medium, soft, soft 2nd fastest medium, medium, soft and 3rd fastest was a one stop medium then hard. so far none of the front runners have gone even close to that

 

[Ax^]

wtf were red bull doing their

he already has fastest lap

 

[Ax^]

Perez "are you falling asleep, Wake up Wake"

Looking like a great result for McLaren with these points towards the constructors

 

[Ax^]

more fire

Perez

 

[Limejuice]

Okay, it'll be a finish behind the safety car?

 

[Ax^]

that or one flying lap with Max up Lewis's exhaust

 

[spitfire]

Aw man. more fire.

 

[dessiato]

Perez must be gutted.

 

[Limejuice]

So, All-Bran gets a trophy and a fizzy-rose-water shower.

Hope that helps his chances.

 

[spitfire]

Oh poor Otmar (and Perez).

 

[1%er]

That's a great result for Albon

 

[spitfire]

McLaren yay!

 

[Limejuice]

Fireworks.

That's just what this race needed. More things on fire.

Lots for Ted to talk about today

Given Grosjean's inferno, I hope they dig out the old footage of Ted explaining the strength of the halo, using a toy car and a model double-decker London bus.

TV history, that was.
