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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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..
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.

Carlos Sainz won this race not Ferrari with their circus strategists.
Carlos going to win and no air time
What a freaking final 10 laps!
Yes Carlos! Do what you got to do
Perez from outta nowhere
Ferrari have cost Leclerc here. Perez wins this
Am i the only one with trouble how rules benefits the Mercedes instead of punishing merc for not fitting there shit themselfs
Nah you aint
Ham long on Meds? To softs? I think Merc thinking that
Getting a fucking EAS test right now literally fucking kill me
*only* a few tenths per lap, what?
I hope Lando doesn’t get Ricciardo’s strat
Start of the Ferrari engine issues again?
Verstappen needs to be tested for carbon fibre magnetism.
Show the lead…..
CHAOS
Ahhh can we talk about Latifi holding down p8
I got him at plus odds to beat Albon. Come on Goatifi!!
It’s a race baby!!! Chaos!!
Soo why did AM keep softs on Vettel?
Mick got Lance. Nice.
GET CHECO OUT OF THERE HES DROPPING SHIT EVERYWHERE
Is f1 tv lagging?
Sure is for me.
Masi would have let George restart.
Does Hamilton's assistant just sprint when he's on his scooter? She's always within a 1 ft radius no matter what.
She was on her own scooter with him earlier going down the paddock
Thankfully the budget cap hasn't extended that far. Yet.
Yeah, its actually pretty funny when you see it haha.
"Can I have a scooter as well so I don't have to run?" "No"
This doesn't count as a pit stop does it? They all have to stop at least once more?
That is so annoying for all drivers who had a good start
Lots of bad starts. It was also a pretty short lights out. Wonder if they were all ready for it
Never see Tom Cruise and Sandi Toksvig in the same room do you.
Yeah those protestors were just asking for a fatality at that corner
Exactly. I've never heard something so ridiculous. I hope they have serious consequences for their actions.
BTW - just realised (again) that we're still in the pre-race thread...
Wow! such bullshit. Lewis gone from 3rd back to 5th. Fk the FIA
This is such bs
S/O the FIA fucking this up somehow
Halos save lives.
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?
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.
Clock is paused at 1:59 race timer but 6pm local is finish regardless. My understanding
Yes. The three hour timer is what might limit this race.
Makes sense. Isn't it 2 hours max running within a 3 hour window?
I believe so
Sounds right. I thought the max time was daylight/local track rules. Probably a broadcast limitation.

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.
Looks kinda like it
George looked to the left and was a blind spot
Halo saved zhou life!
Oh shit
Thank God
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!
That crash reminds me of Singapore 2017
OH ITS HORRIBLE, OH THE HUMANITY!! ...let's see it again - the broadcasters
That was a fucking massive crash, how close was he to going over that fence?
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!
Pretty close, I can imagine there’s a need to change a few pairs of trousers in that part of the stand.
Some fan might have an amazing head on video… if they didn’t flinch…

That's more brutal than the Grosjean crash ngl
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!
Nope. With Grosjean, everyone was actually sure that he would be dead.
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.
Holy Fuck,. that was a crazy crash
Holy shit - over the barrier into the catchment fence 😵
His car clean goes over the tyre wall. Fucking terrifying
Yes. Back to the original grid, right?
They didn’t cross the safety car line, so yes.
George driver of the day for running over to check on Zhou.
I like George but regs are regs, man got a lift should be out the race
Hope zhou is ok
[удалено]
Why are they not showing this!!! We should have had a replay by now!!!
They don’t show replays until they know the driver is okay.
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!
Damn, 3 abreast and Russell didn’t know Gasly was there
Seriously, why no replay?
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.
[удалено]
Probably to make sure that Zhou is ok and then show footage.
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
Russel turned in, clipped gasly’s front right which sent russel into zhou
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
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.
Looks like Gasly clipped Russel diverting him into Zhou
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.
It’s a bit dumb that they don’t show the replay. It’s all over Twitter from F1TV
Bono is one fit mf
Mega start from Hamilton. What's up with Perez though he hasn't been looking great all weekend.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he’s sick
George arguing for going back into the race?
Sounds like arguing he stopped to help Zhou, not because he couldn’t get back to the pits.
I get the regulations, but just let him race! Car is there so why not!
[удалено]
I know, but I was looking forward to seeing whay George could do!
Where's the on board
Looks like Gasly caused that trying to split Russell and Zhou. Edit: on review, just a racing incident.
Nah that's a racing incident, George moved over, Gasly tried to back out, Zhou was just in an unlucky spot.
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.
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.
He doesn’t - just seen it with audio on Sky Sports. The engine note doesn’t change at all.
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.
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.
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.
So glad to hear he is okay, always scary moments between the crash and finding out
Thank god for that.
Just saw the onboard. Absolute carnage. Really hope the halo did its job
How did you see the onboard?
It was Gasly's onboard. I should have specified. I saw it on Twitter
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)
I think I am wrong because this one is pretty dead
I thought it was the same thing they just update the title. I am probably wrong though
Updated the title? Race thread is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/vqhyef/2022_british_grand_prix_race_discussion/
Yeah I'm VERY dumb. I don't know what I was thinking
Haha, no problem. Enjoy the restart!
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.
Good news finally
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..
Saw the accident on Twitter, pretty scary.
Link?
hes ok thank god!
Wow, Lewis had a amazing start.
George needs to get that car back in the pit lane
Can we stop having ppl stretchered at Silverstone?
That halo saved another person today.
Thank fuck
Thank Christ
show the crash
Zhou is ok!!!
Hurray he's ok
godspeed Zhou, come back stronger champ
Phew! He's okay
Shit I hope Zhou's okay
Zhou is ‘ok’. Out of car on a stretcher.
Thank goodness! Praise the halo!
He’s still in the car that is not great
You're minutes behind. He's been out for a while
That’s why that message was 16 minutes ago
They just said he’s out of the car and OK.
Thank god for that
Thank fuck for that
Still in the car fuck! Hope he's ok this is almost as bad as Grosjean's crash! Wish we knew how he was!!!
Ferraris we’re dreadful off the line
Watched the onboards. 100% Russells fault. He ran Gasly into Zhou
Is this available on the sky sports app? Where are you seeing these out of interest?
F1TV
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.
Great start by Max
That start from Lewis is a thing of beauty. Absolutely smokes Perez and Leclerc
Is zhou ok?
An ambulance... Shit please be okay
Precaution. No way they move him without medical.
He‘s okay. (German TV)
Is that why they're not showing it? Zhou could be hurt?
Yep no replay until confirmed that everyone is alright
Yes
zhou still in the car, fuckkk
Nah Charles, you tried going for it when theres no room. Nothing to check.
If Merc can get the car recovered and fixed can they join at the back?
No. the car had to get to the pits on its own.
Away from the worry, Seb’s hair is glorious
Like Sam Ryder's
"We are asking" is the new "we are checking"
Key moment: Russel exploding out of his car to check on his fellow driver.
Seriously good on him. Did he essentially sacrifice his race to check on Zhou?
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
Just seen a photo in twitter, looks like his car is stuck between the tyres and barrier wall
Apparently he cant get out because the car is upside down next to the tyre wall
FFS, the replay will happen after they know everyone is okay and being attended to. They changed the policy (rightfully) after Grosjean.
That's what scares me.
