You cannot make up this shit. There was actually a marshall running across the track towards Checo's burning car.
Right in front of Lando coming in hot.

I can imagine how that fireball felt to GRO. We could feel the heat flash from Bordais from 150 meters away. GRO was in an inferno.

Well,a quick recap tells that luck was on HAM's side yet again with PER car igniting and race declared finished with 5 laps to go and Max having every chance of hauling HAM in with the time remaining.

Max wasn't hauling HAM in at a rate to catch him. Look at the data.

i guess this accident will change some of the barriers in every track.. or increasing the halo strength and cars bolting points.. such a crazy scary moment that has super high G's and fire.. Grosjean is lucky to be alive and at the same thanks to all safety regs up until this year..

Incredible. And the impact was likely to be north of 50 G.

By the Mercs advantages...The W11 is a lot faster than the RB16 !
The W11 just pulled away from behind the safety car by the DAS advantage ..
Coming out of a corner , the W11 pulls 0.2 sec away from the RB16 !
