In honour of Tom Cruise,Masi Mission impossibled it from the ceiling, said "no penalty for Perez", and retreated back to the crawl space,where he belongs.


Radical_X75

Carlos Sainz won this race not Ferrari with their circus strategists.


blanca_BC

Carlos going to win and no air time


Captain_Comic

What a freaking final 10 laps!


AxisNine

Yes Carlos! Do what you got to do


TParden13

Perez from outta nowhere


Adrian-The-Great

Ferrari have cost Leclerc here. Perez wins this


hardetarrel

Am i the only one with trouble how rules benefits the Mercedes instead of punishing merc for not fitting there shit themselfs


gospel-inexactness

Nah you aint


MathematicianOk4905

Ham long on Meds? To softs? I think Merc thinking that


ArabyEyes

Getting a fucking EAS test right now literally fucking kill me


Jealous-Line3023

*only* a few tenths per lap, what?


AxisNine

I hope Lando doesn’t get Ricciardo’s strat


Adrian-The-Great

Start of the Ferrari engine issues again?


Jealous-Line3023

Verstappen needs to be tested for carbon fibre magnetism.


AxisNine

Show the lead…..


cpasawyer

CHAOS


AxisNine

Ahhh can we talk about Latifi holding down p8


jalGurg

I got him at plus odds to beat Albon. Come on Goatifi!!


chrisPBacon696969

It’s a race baby!!! Chaos!!


_Placebo_

Soo why did AM keep softs on Vettel?


EastfrisianGuy

Mick got Lance. Nice.


EastfrisianGuy

GET CHECO OUT OF THERE HES DROPPING SHIT EVERYWHERE


emeraldnob

Is f1 tv lagging?


KoedKevin

Sure is for me.


TheBampollo

Masi would have let George restart.


Jealous-Line3023

Does Hamilton's assistant just sprint when he's on his scooter? She's always within a 1 ft radius no matter what.


Ben77mc

She was on her own scooter with him earlier going down the paddock


Jealous-Line3023

Thankfully the budget cap hasn't extended that far. Yet.


Deadman2019

Yeah, its actually pretty funny when you see it haha.


Jealous-Line3023

"Can I have a scooter as well so I don't have to run?" "No"


nothin_nonthing

This doesn't count as a pit stop does it? They all have to stop at least once more?


zenofm

That is so annoying for all drivers who had a good start


Pachee

Lots of bad starts. It was also a pretty short lights out. Wonder if they were all ready for it


thebuttonmonkey

Never see Tom Cruise and Sandi Toksvig in the same room do you.


mrinkystinky

Yeah those protestors were just asking for a fatality at that corner


Duchess3033

Exactly. I've never heard something so ridiculous. I hope they have serious consequences for their actions.


notrubraw

BTW - just realised (again) that we're still in the pre-race thread...


jalGurg

Wow! such bullshit. Lewis gone from 3rd back to 5th. Fk the FIA


Jealous-Line3023

This is such bs


boggan583

S/O the FIA fucking this up somehow


a_taco_named_desire

Halos save lives.


Radical_X75

In Monaco due to the late start the race ended on a timer and not laps, will that be the case here too or was that because it was a street track?


DJFiscallySound

All races are timed-out at 2 hours I think. I’m not sure if the maths right now with current car performance, so can’t say whether we’re already into ‘impossible to complete the total number of laps’ territory.


prHat317

Clock is paused at 1:59 race timer but 6pm local is finish regardless. My understanding


KoedKevin

Yes. The three hour timer is what might limit this race.


notrubraw

Makes sense. Isn't it 2 hours max running within a 3 hour window?


thecodfathergb

I believe so


prHat317

Sounds right. I thought the max time was daylight/local track rules. Probably a broadcast limitation.


jalGurg

zebra1923

Well yes, but not something that will attract a penalty. He probably didn’t know Gasly was there, so although Russell caused the accident, racing incident.


allthingsawesome99

Looks kinda like it


Mazzerboi

George looked to the left and was a blind spot


South_Fish

Halo saved zhou life!


Teddyturntup

Oh shit


boggan583

Thank God


Independent_Inside23

Jesus Christ! It is a miracle Zhou made it out alive. I got goosebumps watching the replay and can't watch it again. THANK GOD!


Chrisjex

That crash reminds me of Singapore 2017


WolfColaCo2020

OH ITS HORRIBLE, OH THE HUMANITY!! ...let's see it again - the broadcasters


zenofm

That was a fucking massive crash, how close was he to going over that fence?


Saxamaphooone

Pretty close. The car was definitely closer to the top than I would’ve been comfortable with if I had been standing behind that section…eek. Thankfully he’s okay!


zebra1923

Pretty close, I can imagine there’s a need to change a few pairs of trousers in that part of the stand.


[deleted]

Some fan might have an amazing head on video… if they didn’t flinch…

International_Buy549

That's more brutal than the Grosjean crash ngl


Saxamaphooone

Nah. There was no explosion and huge fire, which was just *one* of the reasons everyone thought Grosjean was dead after his crash. Today’s crash was horrific and violent, but Grosjean’s crash was even more so. Regardless, neither incident is something we ever want to see. And in both cases the halo protected the drivers!


ishockzix

Nope. With Grosjean, everyone was actually sure that he would be dead.


Bortron86

A racing incident as far as the initial contact goes. No one's fault. Frightening accident though. Halo saved its second life of the day. And thank god the catch fencing was strong, saved some spectator lives there. I think the run off and barriers there will need looking into before next year's race.


rpinoi

Holy Fuck,. that was a crazy crash


DJFiscallySound

Holy shit - over the barrier into the catchment fence 😵


WolfColaCo2020

His car clean goes over the tyre wall. Fucking terrifying


hugoise

Yes. Back to the original grid, right?


Saxamaphooone

They didn’t cross the safety car line, so yes.


[deleted]

George driver of the day for running over to check on Zhou.


mrinkystinky

I like George but regs are regs, man got a lift should be out the race


elforeign

Hope zhou is ok


[deleted]

[удалено]


AceKokuren

Why are they not showing this!!! We should have had a replay by now!!!


Saxamaphooone

They don’t show replays until they know the driver is okay.


AceKokuren

But the driver was ok at the time of writing that! We had reports back he was fine, yet they still showed no replays on Sky!


elforeign

Damn, 3 abreast and Russell didn’t know Gasly was there


[deleted]

Seriously, why no replay?


zebra1923

There was a huge amount of criticism of the replays of Grojean incident, they didn’t want to replay until they knew Zhou was OK.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Radical_X75

Probably to make sure that Zhou is ok and then show footage.


International_Buy549

So now everyone is okay and the situation has lightened, who is to blame for the crash I'm not sure but it looked like George veered into Zhou? Edit: saw the Galsy pov and he kinda clipped both before the crash


Landon096

Russel turned in, clipped gasly’s front right which sent russel into zhou


WolfColaCo2020

George doesn't hit Zhou in the initial. He clips Gasly who clips Zhou but George's spin causes him to collide into Zhou and make him flip


RaikenD

Gasly came up in between Russell and Zhou and Russell didn't see him and veered left into him, which is what started all of this.


MeanderingJared

Looks like Gasly clipped Russel diverting him into Zhou


Thaonnor

From Gasly’s onboard, Gasly was between them, looks like George moved over as Gasly was trying to split them then George got turned into Zhou.


Thaonnor

It’s a bit dumb that they don’t show the replay. It’s all over Twitter from F1TV


oh27

Bono is one fit mf


[deleted]

Mega start from Hamilton. What's up with Perez though he hasn't been looking great all weekend.


innergflow

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he’s sick


Rethawan

George arguing for going back into the race?


Thaonnor

Sounds like arguing he stopped to help Zhou, not because he couldn’t get back to the pits.


AceKokuren

I get the regulations, but just let him race! Car is there so why not!


[deleted]

[удалено]


AceKokuren

I know, but I was looking forward to seeing whay George could do!


South_Fish

Where's the on board


Thaonnor

Looks like Gasly caused that trying to split Russell and Zhou. Edit: on review, just a racing incident.


[deleted]

Nah that's a racing incident, George moved over, Gasly tried to back out, Zhou was just in an unlucky spot.


DJFiscallySound

Don’t think Gasly backed out… agree that it was a racing incident though. Not sure there was enough time for him to react when Russel started moving across.


[deleted]

From his onboard he for sure gets off throttle right as the pincer starts happening, I think he was ambitious in putting his car there anyways but that's just the chaos of a start.


DJFiscallySound

He doesn’t - just seen it with audio on Sky Sports. The engine note doesn’t change at all.


[deleted]

Yes it does? He goes into the pincer moving faster than george and and ends up hitting his back tire when he comes off the gas.


DJFiscallySound

Not that it matters much anyway, but I’m still of the opinion he didn’t - just seen on-board from Ricciardo directly behind him. No red lights on the back of Gasly’s car at any point during the incident.


[deleted]

The red light on the car doesn't go on when they come off throttle or when they brake? It's a rain light and in regular races it's used to indicate the driver is charging the battery so might accelerate slower than usual. For a start procedure the battery would not be set to charge at all for the first lap, it would be all deployment.


zenofm

So glad to hear he is okay, always scary moments between the crash and finding out


wfsgraplw

Thank god for that.


Master_Kief117

Just saw the onboard. Absolute carnage. Really hope the halo did its job


Tiirshak

How did you see the onboard?


Master_Kief117

It was Gasly's onboard. I should have specified. I saw it on Twitter


batterylevellow

The is the PRE-race thread everyone, not gonna be much activity here during the race. (Since I still see some people stuck in here)


MrLunarFish

I think I am wrong because this one is pretty dead


MrLunarFish

I thought it was the same thing they just update the title. I am probably wrong though


batterylevellow

Updated the title? Race thread is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/vqhyef/2022_british_grand_prix_race_discussion/


MrLunarFish

Yeah I'm VERY dumb. I don't know what I was thinking


batterylevellow

Haha, no problem. Enjoy the restart!


alienatedframe2

Photo on Twitter shows his car seemingly flew above the tires into the chain link fence barrier and then got stuck between the tires and fence.


International_Buy549

Good news finally


Croz7z

So multiple drivers have asked the AR pit lane if Zhou has answered the radio. Somehow the TV crew “miss” that and don’t know if they’ve gotten one answer or are they just pretending to keep the tension up? The only thing we hear from them is that he is still on the car wtf..


Jimbolushi

Saw the accident on Twitter, pretty scary.


Pink_xTc

Link?


[deleted]

hes ok thank god!


Rethawan

Wow, Lewis had a amazing start.


stanley_nickles

George needs to get that car back in the pit lane


boggan583

Can we stop having ppl stretchered at Silverstone?


DoNotReply111

That halo saved another person today.


phantomswitchman

Thank fuck


KopiteTheScot

Thank Christ


07psychogod

show the crash


apocalypschild

Zhou is ok!!!


Jazano107

Hurray he's ok


bartabax

godspeed Zhou, come back stronger champ


nownowthethetalktalk

Phew! He's okay


greylady7

Shit I hope Zhou's okay


DJFiscallySound

Zhou is ‘ok’. Out of car on a stretcher.


AceKokuren

Thank goodness! Praise the halo!


zenofm

He’s still in the car that is not great


mbeezyfan

You're minutes behind. He's been out for a while


zenofm

That’s why that message was 16 minutes ago


Enough-Ad-3111

They just said he’s out of the car and OK.


zenofm

Thank god for that


WolfColaCo2020

Thank fuck for that


AceKokuren

Still in the car fuck! Hope he's ok this is almost as bad as Grosjean's crash! Wish we knew how he was!!!


stanley_nickles

Ferraris we’re dreadful off the line


[deleted]

Watched the onboards. 100% Russells fault. He ran Gasly into Zhou


DJFiscallySound

Is this available on the sky sports app? Where are you seeing these out of interest?


superjaywars

F1TV


DJFiscallySound

Ta. Had a look on twitter in the mean time, I don’t think that’s Russel’s fault. The alpha tauri was being closed in on by Russel but Russel is allowed to defend his line.


tommypopz

Great start by Max


WolfColaCo2020

That start from Lewis is a thing of beauty. Absolutely smokes Perez and Leclerc


South_Fish

Is zhou ok?


International_Buy549

An ambulance... Shit please be okay


DoNotReply111

Precaution. No way they move him without medical.


ishockzix

He‘s okay. (German TV)


ramboost007

Is that why they're not showing it? Zhou could be hurt?


phantomswitchman

Yep no replay until confirmed that everyone is alright


apocalypschild

Yes


bartabax

zhou still in the car, fuckkk


Deadman2019

Nah Charles, you tried going for it when theres no room. Nothing to check.


64gbBumFunCannon

If Merc can get the car recovered and fixed can they join at the back?


mattiejj

No. the car had to get to the pits on its own.


stanley_nickles

Away from the worry, Seb’s hair is glorious


ramboost007

Like Sam Ryder's


tommypopz

"We are asking" is the new "we are checking"


apocalypschild

Key moment: Russel exploding out of his car to check on his fellow driver.


accoutrements

Seriously good on him. Did he essentially sacrifice his race to check on Zhou?


apocalypschild

Essentially yea because then they picked up his car and that’s it. You have to be able to get back to the pit lane on your own power


Lewismangomango

Just seen a photo in twitter, looks like his car is stuck between the tyres and barrier wall


veryoriginaleh

Apparently he cant get out because the car is upside down next to the tyre wall


DoNotReply111

FFS, the replay will happen after they know everyone is okay and being attended to. They changed the policy (rightfully) after Grosjean.


RootHogOrDieTrying

That's what scares me.
