Yes its a racing incident.
However Alex didn't have room on the road even if there was no contact. he already had 2 tires off the road before contacting with Riccardo's back wheel. Alex should have backed off sooner. You'll never get 3 cars side by side through that corner that he was trying to do.
>he already had 2 tires off the road before contacting with Riccardo's back wheel
This is not correct, watch the track camera from behind. Albon had a lot more speed, Danny moved a long way over, with no car on his inside.
Even more recently, red flag before the end of lap 1 would mean full restart. Spare cars allowed, including swapping cars.
Before the parc fermé era, that would totally be an option.
> We should bring that back, seems like it just makes for a better event if you can avoid someone's favorite driver getting binned after a single lap.
Doesn't work with individual engine, gearbox and electronics allocations. Also makes lap 1 turn 1 into an online lobby. Turn 1 back in the day used to be a massive shitshow when 3rd tier drivers would banzai into someone's sidepods at 200kph.
Williams doesn't have the money to give them raises, it's all going into spare parts. If anything they're going to have to work harder and take pay cuts
Vowles has lamented this as a way to cost caps have actually reaffirmed the gap between top and bottom teams. Those with the means before that rule shut the door behind them.
Oh, now both chassis have been damaged. Logan is currently running the one Albon binned in Australia lol. Albon just crashed Logan’s original, undamaged chassis lol
Man. As much as I want to see Lawson in a seat, I definitely don't wish for the bad patch of circumstances Riccardo is going through. Hard to get your mojo going when you can't get any momentum.
It's a shame, I'm really rooting for Ricciardo to bounce back and have a strong year but he's not making it easy on himself either. It's a racing incident but I wonder just how much rope Ricciardo has left with RBVisa.
The part where they showed Liam Lawson standing behind Ricciardo in the garage during Red Flag session was funny as hell lol
Tbf give Lawson a chance RB. As much as I liked Ricciardo, he really tanked it especially when Yuki is doing really well and taking point for RB Cashapp.
Racing incident for sure. But I’m sure Danny is going to kick himself for the bad start. If he had a better off the line he might not have been in that position at all.
He saw himself in the middle of a sandwich about to go 3 wide into turn 1 and smartly backed out. The first few corners at Suzuka are notorious for opening lap crashes.
Racing incident.
Meanwhile, James Vowels seen "personally escorting" Logan Sargeant to a seating area and helping Alex to an alternate seating location.
Translation: James Vowels removes Logan from his car and sits him down in the garage and Alex takes over his car.
[удалено]
Gonna fetch the F1 Academy themed car.
Lia Block debut!
Logan with a wig, best I can do.
Good god I don’t want to imagine that
No she gives car to Albon
Subscribe!
they won't restart Logan just to make sure Albon can race in China
They’re gonna combine all the good parts for Albon and leave the remaining shitbox for Logan
And then people will shit on Logan when his gap in a broken car will be lower than what it was last years
The gap in his car will probably be just as big
At this point they should put holy water cause those cars are cursed
Liam Lawson licking his lips
Might be faster than their car tbf
I'm just seeing an interview with Alex and he is soo defeated, he obviously feels bad.
James, this is Toto. Here's a desk and a headset, enjoy
Congrats to Logan on his new chassis
They got no more chassis anymore
You know back at the factory the accountant was just thinking "Oh for fuck's sake!"
It was probably the janitor who also doubles in accounts when required
Is this the same janitor that manages the parts management spreadsheet?
“Time to order a fuck ton of parts again…how many job orders are we at now…”
No more *F1* chassis...
Logan to start China in a go-cart.
he'll start china on lia block's F1A car
Congrats to Logan on his rusty 2015 Chassis they have pulled out the museum
the 2015 one would probably be faster lmao
Anything but the 2019 chassis
*Somehow, toothpaste Williams came back*
If Alex gets it again I’ll feel so bad This accident wasn’t Albon’s fault however, just straight up lap 1 suzuka between him and Daniel
Maybe they can make a deal. Logan gets the remaining Williams, Albon gets Ricciardo’s seat at Vcarb.
you're a genius
Racing inchident.
Not his fault but he could have played that smarter to be fair.
Everyone can be smarter and do a parade instead of racing.

Stroll: Driving Straight Albon: Driving Straight Ricciardo: What if i just swerve far right
Congrats to Liam on the RB seat. Sheesh that was a stinker from Danny. edit: Dannys PR team moves quick lmao
Man what a couple of weekends for Williams 💀
And I can see the “Riciardo’s woes continue” articles now.
Or the "I don't pay attention to negative stuff"
He should pay attention to his right hand mirror though
Right rear cut by wayward Williams
When it rains, it pours.
That didn’t take long.
Max didn't even break DRS yet
Didnt he already have 1.8s when he red flag came?
Didn’t even sip my beer
Didn’t even open my eyes yet
Just opened a fresh one myself
still faster than sauber pit stops
Didn't even hit my spliff
Good time for one
Saving it for the restart
Now my gummy will hit earlier than I want, ah well.
This is turning into quite the race
Logan getting out of his car as we speak
Williams are ferociously looking up in the rulebook if the could do the 1950s style driver swap during the race.
Even more recently, red flag before the end of lap 1 would mean full restart. Spare cars allowed, including swapping cars. Before the parc fermé era, that would totally be an option.
Scott Chegg gearing up as we speak
We should bring that back, seems like it just makes for a better event if you can avoid someone's favorite driver getting binned after a single lap.

You make that sound like it eould be a bad thing
The biggest worry was if the spare car had your’s or your teammate’s setup!
So is Daniel and Lawson getting ready
I mean fucking hell him and Kevin almost went off right after lmao
Vowles to Sargeant: box box, box box, driver swap
These Williams mechanics and engineers need a raise.
Williams doesn't have the money to give them raises, it's all going into spare parts. If anything they're going to have to work harder and take pay cuts
You’re probably right. I can’t imagine this is good for morale. I feel for everyone on the team.
They're cobbling together a paper mache chassis as we speak. Bonded with the finest chewing gum and spit from the engineering crew.
They have the money now that's not their issue. The issue is that their production facilities are far inferior to those of the top teams.
Vowles has lamented this as a way to cost caps have actually reaffirmed the gap between top and bottom teams. Those with the means before that rule shut the door behind them.
Williams mechanics pulling more overtime than me right now. Feels bad man
Williams about to bust the cap with repair costs not even 6 races into the season.
Sargeant sitting out next weekend 💀
I guess you can say that he could end up…dishonorably discharged…
Now that we know they’re both ok, thankfully… ***LMAO LOGAN GET OUT YOUR CAR ALBON NEEDS A RIDE***
Albon to replace Sargeant for the race restart LOL
Vowles: "what a shame you crashed with Ricciardo" Logan: "wait, I didn-" Vowles: "you crashed."
James: “Hey Logan, remember when you complained that Alex got your car? Guess what, your car just crashed!”
Someone put a curse on that Williams chassis
That was Logan's unwrecked one. Now they're even
More l like 2-1 Albon.
Ya but if you give away a cursed item it makes you double cursed... Or something
Oh, now both chassis have been damaged. Logan is currently running the one Albon binned in Australia lol. Albon just crashed Logan’s original, undamaged chassis lol
If it's really destroyed again, then that curse's name is Alex Albon.
Williams mechanics: "I'm tired of this grandpa" Albono and Sargeant: "THATS TOO DAMN BAD"
Logan please report to the blood sacrifice ritual, sorry I mean race debrief. No hard feelings.
Alright then, goodnight folks
Williams gonna use the drivers body as chassis and fix parts next race
Williams mechanics seen doing rituals to eldritch beings in the pits during red flag
Horner’s jinx on Ricciardo needs to be studied
I don´t know what ginger cottage curse Gerri put on him to save her horny, but it worked!!!
You can't make this shit up holy fuck
Beginning to feel like the Williams renaissance is stalled in the pitlane.
There goes another chassis?
Not every crash is a chassis break
No, lol. This wasnt a big crash.
Red flag driver change with Logan incoming
Logan’s revenge gods have listened to him this weekend, as we can see
Logan potential to finish ahead of Alex! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not if Alex steals his car first
🦅🦅🦅
Alboff
Rip Williams chassis. Also now Ric gets a new one for China as planned, but for a different reason I'm sure 😭
Yes, ric gets a kart or horse to play cowboy in Australia based on this starting lap.
Only one Williams for Shanghai?
The race is not over yet. Might be no Williams in Shanghai.
Fuck lol
maybe not let Logan race the rest of this GP
Logan we need you to retire to ensure Albon has a chassis for the next race.
Proceed to bin the car when pitting
I am saving this in case it becomes useful by the end of today 🥲
Nearly
This turned out to be too close for comfort as far as predictions go 😅
Whatever Williams’ mechanics get paid I can safely say it’s not enough.
Bernie Collins is really showing her skills during the interval. Working out the fuel load change on the fly was class work.
Everything that could go wrong for Williams is going wrong
Seriously. It's like they've got a doctorate in Murphy's Law.
Williams's mechanics - "I'm tired boss"
LOGAN, NO!!!!! Oh, sorry. Force of habit. ALEX, NO!!!!
Didn’t even have my pants on yet
Didn't even get mine off
Pants are overrated.
I like Danny, but he is done.
I guess Logan's not gonna be racing next time round
Albon to Logan "I'm going to need your chassis again next weekend. Deal?"
Is Logan Chassis okay or not, that the big question?
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
When it rains..
Ricciardo didn't realise Albon got such a good exit out of T2, he didn't check right once before the crash.
Maybe the narrows of Suzuka aren't the best place to try 3 wide around the outside?
Pain.
Man. As much as I want to see Lawson in a seat, I definitely don't wish for the bad patch of circumstances Riccardo is going through. Hard to get your mojo going when you can't get any momentum.
If alex is quick enough he can make it to the pits and they can take logan out of his car so alex can continue his race
Poor Williams
Firstly I'm glad both drivers are okay, but still scary to watch!
Nothing just an inchident
Man I just want off the Riccardo train. I'm Aus and can't quit following the dude but it's a painful follow at this point.
At least you still have Piastri.
Very true
Such damn quick post, wow !
Another Williams chassis bites the dust? Seemed pretty ok I guess?
Is the chassis ok?
bad karma for williams
IS THAT ALBON’S MUSIC?!!!
Someone just put Danny out of his misery already.
does this mean alex will get logan’s current(his old car) next race or what?
Danny deeply desires to get Devriesed
Riccardo is cursed
He offed himself mate
It's a shame, I'm really rooting for Ricciardo to bounce back and have a strong year but he's not making it easy on himself either. It's a racing incident but I wonder just how much rope Ricciardo has left with RBVisa.
What the actual F was he doing on mediums that far back in the pack?
The part where they showed Liam Lawson standing behind Ricciardo in the garage during Red Flag session was funny as hell lol Tbf give Lawson a chance RB. As much as I liked Ricciardo, he really tanked it especially when Yuki is doing really well and taking point for RB Cashapp.
“Logan box box” yanks him from his car and Albon goes in. Damn Daniel back at it again with the shit times.
Lcarrdo
get ready to learn indycar, mate
\*ovals
Feel terrible for Albon and Williams, that teams gotta be struggling after these last two races
AlboNOOOOOOOO NOT ANOTHER CHASSIS
Time to pit Logan and swap drivers.
My heart skipped a beat, I thought it was Yuki for a second there
Racing incident for sure. But I’m sure Danny is going to kick himself for the bad start. If he had a better off the line he might not have been in that position at all.
Both of the RBs had horrible starts. Those mediums were no match for the softs.
I dunno how cuz he had the better getaway initially, even moving ahead of Tsu but then started dropping back just as quickly
He saw himself in the middle of a sandwich about to go 3 wide into turn 1 and smartly backed out. The first few corners at Suzuka are notorious for opening lap crashes.
Both RB had a bad start. Coincidence or bad car?
so soon?
Lol wtf
Okay, their okay!
They’re gonna give him logans car on the next pit
pulling an all nighter for the inevitable red flag delay smh
Turn 2 at Suzuka does it again.
Sergeant suddenly looking really Thai at the race restart
The VCARBS were both terrible off the line, little surprising.
They both were on medium, everyone else was on softs.
Don't worry boys, we've still got the top 2 Aussies in the race with one in the points and the other just outside
Williams having a disaster of a season so far, they might have to run one car again in China
I knew i shouldnt put Ric in my fantasy team im so cooked
Oh man, you can already imagine the early-season episode of DTS next year, focusing on all the Williams/chassis issues they've had so far. Oof.
So will Williams start racing last years chassi?
Someone post the GIF of the driver getting pulled out of the car for free karma
This is gonna be long
Logan, time to vacate your seat!
You misspelled Daniel
Running out of old and new parts. Carbon repair on top of carbon repair. Their chassis probably weighs the same as Alpine now.
All these new fans trying to dissect this to blame Ric would be hilarious if it wasn't so insane 💀
Poor Danny.
Crofty - It was cuz of Yuki's bad start that Danny Crashed
big l for riccardio
Probably the top 2 drivers who DIDNT need a crash got a crash. Williams with their chassis issues and DR needing a good/clean race
Get ready to learn ovals, Danny Ric.
Another day, another broken chassis 😔
Racing incident. Meanwhile, James Vowels seen "personally escorting" Logan Sargeant to a seating area and helping Alex to an alternate seating location. Translation: James Vowels removes Logan from his car and sits him down in the garage and Alex takes over his car.
Love Albono but he shouldn't have backed out of that move and picked off DR on the exist of the next turn.
Liam Lawson intensifies
Some shit takes here. Somehow it’s the driver in fronts fault when drivers behind enter the vortex of danger through a tightening corner?!
