The trajectory the car took was because the roll hoop was missing (due to the crash on the tarmac when the car went upside down with all that fuel on board plus the design of the roll hoop). Had the roll hoop kept it's structural integrity, then it would have caught the gravel and sent him toppling over in the gravel instead of his right side tires catching the gravel and toppling Zhou's car up and over the tire barriers and sandwiching the Alfa Romeo between the tire barriers and fencing. Alfa Romeo are the only team on the grid using a blade design in the roll hoop. Please refer to the image. Image Unavailable, Please Login Every other team on the grid uses a triangle or traditional roll hoop within the airbox. Please refer to the Ferrari photo for example. Image Unavailable, Please Login The Roll Hoop is an important part of the chassis and is tested by FIA with forces of 60kN laterally, 70kN longitudinally and 105kN vertically All cars on the grid will have passed this test and be homologated for this season. This pic is a side profile of the roll hoop with the chassis and dummy on board. Image Unavailable, Please Login Here's Zhou's car with the missing roll hoop. The FIA is going to investigate this part of the car and why it failed buy my guess with the shear mass and inertia given the speed at which the car was traveling and the height at which the car rose from the ground and impacted the tarmac after making contact with Russell.

Keep in mind that this could be easily construed as religious talk (P&R). Thank you for the consideration.
No one else is grateful that Hamilton didn't send Leclerc into the barriers around Copse? I was grimacing the whole time!
I admit that maybe I missed it, but I thought Carlos only disobeyed once: the absurd order about giving CL 10 car lengths (or meters?) during the late yellow car. The other times, the pit was just telling Carlos that he needed to keep a certain pace. Carlos was not able to, but he wasn't disobeying. Once told he had to move out of the way, he did. I can't blame Carlos for not taking advantage of the opportunities to pick up the pace and stay ahead. F1 drivers don't just volunteer these things. BTW, I wouldn't have given Carlos the opportunity to pick up his pace (and definitely not as long as they did - it seemed like an eternity). It looked like the numbers already consistently and clearly showed CL had the better pace the first time Carlos was told to pick up his pace. My preference would have been for the first communication to have been: "CL has better pace; this is helping Lewis catch up; let CL through." But, again, I don't recall Carlos disobeying an order other than the absurd yellow car one. I'm not as bothered by the decision to not pit CL for soft towards the end. That one might have been the wrong call, but didn't strike me as absurd (delay in ordering Carlos to let CL through and yellow car order were absurd). But Ferrari seems to be very bad about strategizing on the fly and making decisions in a timely fashion.
That is fair. I got the impression that those conversations both started with "Carlos, Charles is faster than you please let him by" and a refusal from Carlos.
Some people don't know what a race is, and some just post to say something, doesn't mean they have a clue about it.
can you imagine the "he did it AGAIN" posts? There's already plenty of "he didn't do it this time, and likely did VER dirty last time...." ones... sjd
How I would have loved to be the fly on the wall. Leclerc and Binotto met at Monaco last night. Tweet— Twitter API (@user) date
Interesting......so when there's a track invasion, Ferrari wins......hmmmm Image Unavailable, Please Login
The previous track invasions they show it live, now we got ******* running the show they have to hide everything
Lighten up, unless you speak Brasilian Portuguese idiom, and can personally provide the meanings. Move on to something about racing, thanks
OK, folks, so now we know what we have to do. You can protest whatever you want as long as you invade the track.
Environmentalists who invaded F1 British GP presented in court. The environmentalists who were arrested during the F1 British GP for track invasion, were placed in the court for further proceedings. There was a message from the police before the F1 British GP requesting the protesters to not take matter in their hands and get themselves involved in any way during the grand prix. Despite that, six people managed to jump onto the circuit. The incident took place on Lap 1 when the British GP was red-flagged for the incident involving Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu. On their way to the Wellington Straight, several F1 drivers reported of seeing people on track which they had to avoid. The fortunate red flag helped them to remain at a slow pace rather than their usual high-speed situation. The six people were immediately arrested and taken into custody. They were wearing orange tracksuits with a message of ‘Just Stop Oil’. The six people were David Baldwin, 46, Emily Brocklebank, 23, Alasdair Gibson, 21, Louis McKechnie, 21, Bethany Mogie, 40, and Joshua Smith, 29. They have been charged with ‘conspiracy to cause public nuisance’ at Northampton Crown Court on Friday. From among them, McKechnie and Smith were remanded into custody ahead of a plea hearing on October 3, while Baldwin, Bracklebank and Gibson were granted bail until the same date. https://formularapida.net/environmentalists-who-invaded-f1-british-gp-presented-in-court/
