If I'm a driver, I'm just giving up for the day.

If I'm a driver, I'm just giving up for the day. If I'm Kvyat I'm hightailing it out of there in a helicopter the moment I get back into the pits.

Let’s see if we can finally get a full green flag lap into this thing... The race would’ve already been over by now in normal circumstances.

Sergio Perez's car goes up in much less serious flames, for no apparent reason

A, thankfully, much smaller fire for Perez brings out the safety car for the final laps.

Just tuning in now and seeing a replay. If I had been watching live I would have been convinced I had just watched somebody die. I feared the worst when the camera didn’t return to him for about ten minutes. I was so relieved to see him in the medical car, but the footage of him escaping the wreckage...it could have been such a different outcome without the safety crew. It’s the worst accident I’ve seen in a while, and a reminder that despite the safety advances, F1 is a dangerous sport.

Update from Haas: Grosjean will be staying in hospital overnight to get treated for burns on the back of both hands, all x-rays have come back clear of fractures.
It really is a miracle even with all the safety advances. Well done to the marshals, medical crew and Romain himself for getting out of the car.

holy god grosjean is extremely lucky to be alive after that horrific impact, full on to and THROUGH the barrier i've NEVER seen a barrier split like that in all my time watching F1, the commentators saying it might have been for equipment ...
those replays make it far worse that it actually was, as most of that fuel would have airburst, if it was a slow burn i wound't give him much chance even with that safety clothing these guys wear

Pietro Fittipaldi will sub in for Grosjean at the second Bahrain race this weekend, making his F1 debut. Notably, he becomes the fourth member of his family to race in F1 behind grandfather Emerson, grand-uncle Wilson and Wilson’s son Christian.

I was thinking Mick would have been perfect, if it didn't mean losing out on his potential F2 championship+

Bit of musical chairs happening as George Russell will drive in the Mercedes in place of Hamilton, while F2 driver Jack Aitken will take Russell’s place in the Williams.

If either George or Jack get any points on Sunday I will laugh so hard.

Verstappen crashes out after contact with Leclerc and Perez. Leclerc out too.
For f***s sake, your best chance to pinch a win with no Hamilton and you both bin it Lap 1?
