2016 Rolex Australian Grand Prix

[Lewis_Hamilton_]

Holy 🤬, how the 🤬 did he get out of that wreck?

 

[NW48]

Had that happened in the 90's, I doubt Alonso would have walked away.

 

[aarror]

Whoah

 

[NW48]

Red flag.

 

[05XR8]

Piquet stand is always the best to watch the races.

 

[Akmuq]

That's why there's less gravel traps now.

 

[coryclifford]

Whoa ALO!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Classic Gutierrez?

 

[GTPorsche]

That cars hit a catch fence.

Lucky that it didn't.

 

[Spacegoat]

I mean.. Holy 🤬 Alonso survived that.

Thank god he did but how the hell did he manage to walk away from, that!?

 

[Blitz24]

That's why there's less gravel traps now.

That wasn't due to the gravel. The car looked to have started rotating prior to the gravel.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

That was insane, how did Alonso walk away from that?!

 

[sems4arsenal]

Expected the red flag, these F1 cars are safer than your house.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

... And that's why modern circuits have tarmac runoff. Glad to see Fernando emerge from the car unscathed.

 

[Grayfox]

Holy Crap.

Race Stopped.

 

[GTracer38]

Classic Gutierrez?

Alonso clipped the back of him under brakes into 3. Not Estebasn fault.


Red flag!

 

[LumpiestFish]

Jesus Christ

 

[TRGTspecialist]

Call me crazy but that wasn't as bad as the aftermath had suggested - rolling through the gravel had just flung so many pieces off the car. I thought he had collided heavily with the catch fencing or something.

 

[ECGadget]

Had that happened in the 90's, I doubt Alonso would have walked away.

Brundle had a very similar accident in 1996; cannot remember whether he was taken out by stretcher... Glad to see Alonso is limping but okay

 

[MUSC4EVER]

That was seriously scary!

 

[GTPorsche]

Alonso clipped the back of him under brakes into 3. Not Estebasn fault.


Red flag!

I think Gutierrez hit the brakes sooner than Alonso expected.

 

[twitcher]

Glad Alonso walked away from that

 

[NW48]

I'm still trying to comprehend how Alonso has walked away without much worry.

 

[LumpiestFish]

The ad breaks that we are getting here in Australia are absolutely 🤬. Can't go a couple of minutes without a break

 

[Peter.]

What the hell was Gutierrez thinking moving twice there? This has shades of Villineuve 2001 in it, lucky no one was hurt.

 

[FutureF1]

Glad Alonso's OK... Haven't seen an f1 car look like that since Kubica 07... And even that doesn't look so bad anymore...

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

Brundle had a very similar accident in 1996; cannot remember whether he was taken out by stretcher... Glad to see Alonso is limping but okay

Brundle went to go get in his spare car.

 

[coryclifford]

I'm still trying to comprehend how Alonso has walked away without much worry.

Adrenaline and shock.

 

[ukfan758]

Lucky that it didn't.

Looking at the car at first glance, the damage looked so similar to what the one car looked like at the 2001 race that killed a marshal. Thank goodness it didn't hit the fence.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

I'm glad he got right out, I would have been scared ****less if I didn't see him moving
