This happens to me on video games...

I thought they were going to clean the mess up for F1 but no.
Yeah was always going to happen and prob will again. I know know why they don't use those polystyrene block sort of things they use at monza turn 1 (when they miss the turning) to clearly block them off

Merc team already at 334km/h, FI some 332km/h and Williams 330km/h. Ferrari team are the second in top speed between PU manufacturers with 328 and Renault & Honda some few km/h away ...
Maybe they do some calibration test but according to the sound onboard it seems its the new spec engine inside ...

Do they do that on purpose to test drivers' knowledge of the track or are they just not bothered putting up a simple barrier on turns that are not supposed to be used? 🤔

Well that once again buries the argument that wheels can’t bounce across the track anymore.

Yeah strange, not sure what let go, but it would appear the wheel was put on right, as it happened in the second sector of his 2nd lap after setting his best first sector of the session.

Just as the earlier crash reminded us that cars don't catch fire anymore and so canopies should be used. Oh, wait. #-o

Mercedes amazingly faster than the rest of the field. I hope Ferrari has much more pace to show.
