Grosjean met with FIA and some of the marshals that saved his ass last weekend.

Hey a 50G crash at 135 MPH into a steel barrier and huge fireball and 30 seconds of time in the fire, just gave his a few boo boos and a couple of weeks off of work. He ain't got time fo dat!



18 million views for that video. ^^^

[Captain Ahab Jr]

That was my exact thinking too!!

There's great anticipation for this next race, great chance to see some new faces in new places.

FP1: George Russell P1

Maybe its the car?

Bottas frustrated and none too happy on the radio. Can't imagine why

[rfuerst911sc]

This is almost a no win situation for Bottas . His experience in F1 and specifically with Mercedes only leaves one suitable option. He has to win the race . Anything else would be a disappointment .

It's both. The car is good. Russell is talented. Bottas is screwed.

Can't imagine why

That's more like it

Thought this was funny:

[Noah930]

Grosjean should appeal, based upon the FIA hosting a race at an unsafe racetrack with substandard barriers.

[matthewb0051]

In FP2 the announcers were talking about the Grosjean shunt and said that several of the drivers were unhappy with the press coverage and what they considered to be over playing of the video. Some have backed down from that position but they said apparently Vettle and Danny Ric have not and would like to consult with the broadcasters about the matter and 'hear their side' of the story.

I don't see a problem with how the video was handled on air. They waited until it was clear that RG was alive then they started showing replays of it. Did they show it too many times? No.

Yes, they waited until they knew he was safe. Agreed. Did they show it too many times? Yes. If you only go to the races for the crashes, watch NASCAR. I have seen enough race car crashes. I don't need to see any more. I have never seen firsthand anyone seriously hurt or worse, thank God, but some of my fellow marshals have. Even the close ones stick with you.

[rfuerst911sc]

Russell fastest in FP1 and FP2 . Bottas 11th fastest in FP2 ............ his head is going to explode !!!

[URY914]

If you want to know how and what happened you need to see it.
You you don't want to see look away.
