I was unaware at time of posting the monocoque had failed. It got t-boned at crazy speed, something was gonna give.It is supposed to complete fall apart, yes, but the monocoque isn't supposed to come apart as it did.

For sure, the monocoque was already battered from hitting the tyres/wall so it's entirely likely it was shagged then, but the impact from Correa which lead to two monocoques colliding (immovable object, unstoppable force) made sure it was going to be bad.I was unaware at time of posting the monocoque had failed.

Yeah, he'll come out of it alive which is bloody good - but I know a guy who knows a guy who works at the Liege hospital and he was being told there's a chance he lost his legs, so to get away with just multiple breaks in his legs and a spinal injury with nothing being removed is bloody fortunate for him.It also happened on the exit of the Eau Rouge - Radillion complex so odds are, Correa was going 250+ KPH and had no time to react to the disaster in front of him. Utterly shit luck but that's part of the sport. Sometimes shit like this happens.
At least Correa will come out alive, but he's gonna have mental scars for this.
I slowly grow to dislike Leclerc, he's a whiny douche and if he wants to take over Vettel, he might have to catch up to him first.
With a 4 to 6 second lead and Hamilton directly behind Leclerc, ordering Vettel to drive slowly to allow Leclerc to overtake is utterly nonsensical.
Hopefully, they'll also replace the Halo with something less ugly, like that prototype windshield thing.
Does it really slow down the cars though? I thought they could drive with similar downforce like today with severely less wind resistance.The windscreen prototype in indy is basically that with a halo inside. Looks more sleeker than just the halo imo. Yeah the 2021 regs might make the cars slower but at least Williams can finally catch up. Like it's not gonna make them any slower now... Right?
Formula E is actually more exciting at this point.So, now that the season's over it is time to speculate on what happens in 2020, besides Mercedes winning both Driver's and Constructor's title.
Eurosport already shows it here, but it's still too much of a gimmick series to really catch people's attention. Even then, the main reason it's more successful so far is that it's cheaper and rich idiots are more willing to spend 10 million on something that might become the number 2 to F1 compared to spending 50 million to not go anywhere besides bottom of the grid.Formula E is actually more exciting at this point.
It's just a matter of time until the tv broadcasts in countries stop paying for F1 and switch to FE.
Well this thread needed necroing. What everyone think of:
Vettel out at Ferrari (certain) -
I feel a bit sorry for him he was never able to replicate Schumacher but I think unfortunate timing coming up against that Merc team and their current dominance.
Sainz in at Ferrari (rumor) -
Personally happy with that, I rate the guy and think he deserves a top car to show what he can do. He was unfortunate that Mad came along when he did and Red Bull pulled the chair out for Max rather than Sainz.
Ricciardo to McLauren (rumor, more likely if Sainz is moving) -
Another who was unfortunate thatax came along when he did and Red Bull decided he was their golden goose and left him seeking a mid field alternative. Shit didn't work out at Renault despite being super confident he could make it work. I see him going down in the list of great drivers never to win a championship at this point.
Alonso to Renault (rumor) -
Will be great to see him back again, wonder if he can replicate his glory days at the team. They have lots of development money and a big rules change on the horizon so could be a change in fortune?
Vettel to ? -
He is making sounds like he planned to retire but who knows? Red Bull don't want him back (apparently Albon is a nice compliment beta for Max according to Horner), I can't see him going to the likes of Haas or Alpha. Maybe an attempt at a William's resurrection but seriously doubt that will work. As for Merc he's a great stick for Toto to beat Hamilton with in contract negotiations but ultimately they'll keep Hamilton.
