Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio Del Made In Italy E Dell'emilia Romagna 2021Formula 1

[Liquid]

Imola's "Isnt Straight" causing a massive crash isn't a surprise, that's basically like Alonso and Gutierrez in Australia, with the racing line naturally squeezing people. Bottas was as far left as he could at the point Russell went alongside, and a tiny move to the right was enough for Russell to touch the grass.

There wasn't really anything either could do there with the rain naturally shrinking the width of dry track. Thankfully both are OK.

Bottas didn't "veer" right as Brundle said but he did definitely veer left, out of the way, when he saw that Russell was alongside. You can see that in the Räikkönen onboard. Russell had already slid onto the grass by then though.

Well done TSN, thanks to your ad break, I missed Bottas' comments/reaction about the crash.

TSN has always been awful when it comes to auto racing coverage.

Russell wipes out the Mercs' team chances in 2 laps.

 

[Dreadmed]

Kimi got a front row seat there!

A face full of debris too.

 

[PaMu1337]

Restart in 10 mins

 

[BrainsBush]

10 minutes restart

Edit: Ninja'd by PaMu1337. Think we're both watching Ziggo Sport

Ultimately a racing incident. But I can see why Russell was so upset. Bottas definitely didn't hold his line. Russell made a pretty optimistic move considering the conditions too.

 

[numbnuts70]

Russells fault 100%.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Wasn't expecting to see Leclerc and Norris in P2 and 3, but with Perez there ready to pounce on the restart...

Crofty is desperate to make Hamilton's off Russell's fault.

Crofty is desperate to make Hamilton's off Russell's fault.

Yeah, I don't get that. Seems like Lewis made a rookie mistake for once going for that overtake.

Stupid sexy Russell.

 

[Skygrasper550]

Yup, that's a smack from Russell. The incident between him and Bottas is real sketchy. Toto's gonna have a long chat with them after the race.

Almost looks like Russell also had another accident

 

[Famine]

Stupid sexy Russell.

I'm idly wondering how much of a pounding his coccyx is taking during a race, because that wear pattern looks really uncomfortable.

 

[BrainsBush]

All lapped cars (including Lewis) will be unlapped according the rule book and then the restart

Detective Latifi on the case for his teammate.

[Sum1s2pid]

Oh! Didn't notice Tsunoda in the points. C'mon, Pierre! Gogogo!

 

[Milouse]

Latifi just learnt a few minutes ago from a journalist that Mazepin was involved in his crash. He thought he crashed alone. And we indeed just saw him checking the replay in his garage.

 

[BrainsBush]

Max please my heart beat

 

[evldave333]

go norris

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Go, Lando! Gooooooooooooooooooooo!

No, Tsunodoa nooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Liquid]

Jesus Christ. Formula One proudly presents Imola On Ice.

 

[C-ZETA]

So these are the so-called "best drivers in the world", are they? (Not including you-know-who, obviously)

 

[Skygrasper550]

Yikes, Verstappen nearly loses it just right before the restart.

EDIT: Noooo Tsunoda

 

[NotThePrez]

And of course I have to go work under a red flag.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the race.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Go get 'im Lando

 

[Touring Mars]

How come, after all that, Hamilton can only be 9.5 seconds off the lead of the race??
