Nearly every road circuit has Armco style barriers... (excluding street courses.) Some have concrete in places but the overwhelming majority have steel guardrails. All the way from club tracks to FIA Grade 1 circuits. I'm perplexed at this outburst of outrage over the barriers. Why hasn't anyone been outraged and calling for the removal of Armco since 1973? I've read article after article people screaming that how can these types of barriers be allowed? I'm just like, the hell have you people been?
Obviously that barrier failed catastrophically and I agree that it was designed poorly with that angle. That should obviously be looked at. Wouldn't surprise me in the least to discover that there was a lack of maintenance there that contributed to the failure.
HALO proved it's worth right there beyond any doubt. Might be ugly, but fuck it, it works and saved his life. Absolutely amazed he was able to climb out of that heap on his own.
Russel now has the chance of a lifetime. I hope he smokes Bottas and proves it's the car. I just don't think Lewis is as great as people think. He's very good, no doubt, but he's not Schumacher, Senna, Prost, or Clark. I also think Bottas isn't nearly as good as that car makes him look. Hopefully Russell obliterates him...

Ya know... thinking about it a little more. What easier circuit could Russell hope to debut the Merc with? I don't get the feeling this track is as technical as others.
Amazingly wellBurns to his hands and the ankle he lost the boot from and that was it. They initially thought there may be some broken ribs but x-rays were all clear. He really is one lucky SOB, if he didn't have the halo he probably would have lost his head.
The more I think about it, if I was hammy I'd just tell the team to leave my car in the plane. They have won everything already why risk ruining equipment and spending all that money.
Checo deserves that.
However, Hamilton's actual greatness is in his race craft and knowing when to overrule the ninnies on the pit wall to preserve victory. I haven't seen a team fuck up a sure thing that bad in a long time.

That and he can drive better than just about anyone I can think of on worn tires. Seen it several times this season.
Absolutely agree. Again, I don't think he's the GOAT by any stretch, but he is very, very good on old worn out tires.
He's up there, but Senna is still my #1. I think if you look at the old guys, Fangio, Clark, maybe even Stewart, it was MUCH more about the car...not that it didn't take real skill and effort to control them, but an Alfa, a Maserati, and a Ferrari from that era were all very different machines. F1 now is so regulated it's almost IROC, but the little differences add up to getting a hole shot and keeping it, like Russell did yesterday.
I did get a chuckle from Max's comment after he got pushed into the wall about Leclerc being immature or impatient or something to that effect. Basically doing what he was doing at the end of last season.
