Russian Grand Prix 2015, Sochi - Race 15/19

Theres a difference between saying its all a bit dull, compared to coming on here to declare your never going to watch F1 again, and then coming back next week to say it again, and then race after that, and the race after that .

Nice and dry for P3.

Fair enough, I thought it was more a comment on people saying Sochi was boring, not that F1 sucks. Sorry.

Turn 3 here is awesome for overtaking. I love this track.

 

[Skeeter]

Are we talking about the same track?

Big crash for Sainz and a red flag...

 

[deuse]

I hope Sainz is ok. Red Flag

beaten to it.

 

[Matteh]

Is he out the car yet?

 

[LzR]

Oh heck, looks like it could be bad, hope he's ok.

Picture of the barrier:

That is not good at all, hopefully all is well.

He's stuck under the barriers.

From that view, is there some distortion of the fence? That can't be good if so

[Vertigo]

From that picture it looks like the Tecpro (sp?) barriers have done very little and he's speared under them and into the metal railing!

[Junglist]

What an impact. Hopefully little Chillie is OK

This seems, not good, very worrying as yet. I was nervous they weren't playing a radio message as there is often a I've crashed or I'm okay, they explained that with radio out. But, something worrying about how they took a long time to even walk up to him, the marshalls were some what just standing there. But then with a heavy barrier on top of the car you don't want marshalls attempting to lift it then dropping it back on him. Probably sensible if a delay to get a truck to secure then lift the barrier in one go. Still, it's really worrying, contact along the wall but there don't appear to be a huge amount in terms of brake marks. You'd hope to see massive locked up tire marks all the way in, there are only a couple short marks and not sure those are from him and not other cars.

Come on Carlos.

Car lost power so the radio wasnt working after impact.
