kurtsimonw Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hulk to Haas, to join K-Mag in the angriest F1 duo of all time. Grosjean to either have no drive, or maybe Williams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he does currently, except in a bespoke FIA car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I quite like Grosjean but he has been lucky to keep that Haas seat, bet he'll be glad to see the back of Gunter. Ocon deserves a top seat, shame he couldn't be partnered up with Hamilton but Bottas is a good backup really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 29, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2019 And I see Marcus Ericsson is on standy-by at Alfa Romeo after Kimi injured his leg during the summer break. No doubt something typically high-octane from our monosyllabic friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Absolutely awful news in F2 today. One of the worst crashes I've seen in a long time has led to the death of 22 year old Anthoine Hubert. No age at all, so so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Horrible crash, Car just completely ripped in half. Not much you can do about that really when a car bounces back into oncoming traffic on a very fast section of track other than hope that nothing hits it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welnik Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I'm at Spa and watched it live. I hardly slept last night watching it in my mind over and over. My mate looked at me at the time and said that he thought it was bad, and the fact that it wasn't shown again was a clue. As the ambulances were driving up the Kemmel straight, one of them was going slowly, as if they were working on him. I was told that they drove slowly all the way round to malmedy where the exit was. Horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible Do you know how Hubert ended up in the barriers in the first pace, ive been watching f1 for over 20 years and I can't remember anyone losing control of the car so far out the exit of eau rouge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any replays of the incident, its just the absolute carnage I keep seeing. There were loads of people taking videos at the time so I might go look for it on YouTube just to make sense of it all. Thanks jackbaur, that would make a lot of sense.

LakotaDakota Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hamilton was being interviewed at the time and saw it happening on one of the screens. You can see straight away he fears the worst an just wants to go and see what is happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 3, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2019 Spa was another example of why Merc and Hamilton are brilliant and are obviously going to piss the Championship. A track Ferrari are dominant on, and they beat Hamilton by less than a second. You have to be at your absolute flawless best to beat Hamilton. He'll give you nothing for free. Whereas Ferrari have been dishing out the gifts all season. On tracks where Merc are dominant, you basically won't beat him, and on your tracks he'll keep you very honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Well this happened in the F3 at monza earlier. Everyone is fine bar a few bruises but could have been very nasty, especially as there was a bunch of marshalls stood right where he landed. If you're wondering how the hell this actually happened, well the FIA decided that putting sausage kerbs on the exit of parabolica was a good way to stop drivers exceeding track limits. This has now been removed. Edited September 7, 2019 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 7, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2019 Correa has been placed in an induced coma. **** that Didn't realise he was quite that serious. Hopefully this is the bit of help his system needs to start repairing itself. Come on JM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted September 7, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2019 So qualifying was utterly hilarious. The sight of watching the entire field driving as slowly as possible, including some drivers ambling down escape routes, seems to be the new normal in the world's fastest sport. Somehow they've managed to make F1 into even more of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
