Don't worry guys, Hamilton will still be just as good without a dominant car! He'll finally get his eighth championship now that Masi is gone!

 

[Haverstaken]

Wow.. Hamilton out in Q1 is really unexpected. There's gotta be something wrong in the car. He drove so well last year in there.

Mercedes has no sandbags, no sidepods, and no speed. Russell must be putting his garbage Williams experience to good use in that car.

That's gonna be a penalty for Ricciardo

 

[Northstar]

That's gonna be a penalty for Ricciardo

He will be forced to drive the slowest car on the grid... oh wait.

 

[Veinz]

That was a big one

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Ouch, oh no, Mick. 😦

 

[Jezza819]

Heavy crash for Mick

 

[Dennisch]

I have quite a delay watching F1 TV it seems.

 

[Lukanyon]

Hopefully he's okay 🙏🏽

And that's why I don't like that track.

 

[Haverstaken]

The mechanics fixing a F1 with silver tape is great 😂

And damn.. big crash now

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

And the circuit is proving just as good for F1 as ever.

 

[PaMu1337]

Judging by the amount of medical staff and the time it's taking, I'm afraid he's hurt

 

[Veinz]

The track is just stupid and dangerous.

 

[Rossell2]

Haas' twitter is saying he's conscious.

 

[PaMu1337]

"concious, out of the car, on the way to the medical center"

 

[MagpieRacer]

Severed the rear of the car, whole back end hanging off as they lifted it.

 

[Dennisch]

Yeah, they're not rebuilding that one.

 

[McLaren]

Saying he had to be lifted rather than under his own power is worrying. I worry that Mick may have injury keeping him out a while. Glad he’s okay for the most part and talking.

 

[Jubby]

Glad to hear Mick is conscious, but that car was absolutely destroyed.

 

[Veinz]

The F2 feature race will be an absolute **** show tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure there are G-Force sensors in the car and if it registers G over a certain point then they have to be extracted as a precaution, could be wrong there though. But I agree, it's not often that we hear of that happening and that makes it worrying for sure.

The F2 feature race will be an absolute gong show tomorrow.

A show of what? If it's anything like the sprint race it'll be a show of how fast a Mercedes AMG GTR can lap that circuit.

I don't think for extraction. They have a limit which requires a medical center visit though. Extraction will be done any time there is a possibility of certain injuries (especially back and neck), even if it is unlikely and the driver thinks he's fine.

 

[Veinz]

Looks like he got on the curb and it launched him into the left wall.

 

[Milouse]

According to Franck Montagny who talked to the FIA doctor, Mick is ok, standing. He just needs a check-up.

 

[Rossell2]

I'm really not in the mood for this GP this weekend, missiles yesterday, crashes today. I frankly just want tomorrow over and done with.

 

[McLaren]

Reddit commenter saying Steiner spoke to another network saying Mick spoke to his mom and has no visible injuries.

So it was probably the sensors in the car that determined the level the medical team had to use to remove him from the car. I guess.

 

[PaMu1337]

Now also from Will Buxton: seems all ok, been taken to hospital for precautionary scans
