Isn't that just standard for F1 drivers if they need to go to a hospital?

No. The nearest - and designated - major trauma centre for Silverstone is Northampton. Takes 12 minutes in the helicopter.

Coventry is further (just under half an hour in the helicopter), so it's used if there's a less urgent issue or for availability (Verstappen went to Coventry A&E for a precautionary CT in 2021)... or if they need the specialism. Northampton is a specialist stroke centre, Coventry a specialist neurosurgery centre.

I expect it's the former, as they have specifically said "precautionary". But it was very nasty impact with two additional hits from and all four hits (Vettel from the rear, wall from the front, and whoever hit him from right then left) were imparting forces in different directions, so a little concern is I think warranted.

Holy crap Ferarri sucks at strategy. It's no wonder they haven't won a championship in forever.

 

[Veinz]

Good for you Carlos

 

[Fezzik]

Ferrari told Sainz to back off from leclerc

He didn’t do it. Debrief will be spicy.

What the hell were those Ferrari radio messages?

They are hopeless!

Ferrari: Carlos, now remember, we have to lose this race in the dumbest way possible.

 

[Touring Mars]

Ferrari: Keep 10 car lengths between you and Charles
Sainz: OK...

 

[Skygrasper550]

Knew it, Perez caught Hamilton and Sainz passing Leclerc. Spicy restart.

 

[Veinz]

Alonso waiting to pounce

 

[Grayfox]

What the hell were those Ferrari radio messages?

They are hopeless!

Schmacher Syndrome?
They want Leclerc to win, even if it measn Sainz loses P2 which will then threaten Leclerc.

 

[Fezzik]

Leclerc now a roadblock

 

[Skygrasper550]

Damn, Hamilton's not going down without a fight! This is amazing!

 

[Touring Mars]

Sainz with tons of breathing room.

 

[PaMu1337]

This is brilliant!

 

[Demon Drone]

This is the best racing I have ever seen in F1.

 

[Grayfox]

Lewis: Thats some dangerous driving.

 

[Blitz24]

Penalty shouldn't be assessed. Both drivers are at fault.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

They need to change the GPs to a series of 5 sprint races of around 12 laps.
