FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN DUTCH GRAND PRIX 2023 - Zandvoort....Practice 1-2-3.... ▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS ▄▀▄▀▄▀

Dry running today!

 

Here we go...

lots of people started the session on hard tires.

 

red flag 18 mins to go. Hulk spins it up the gravel in 13...

sjd

 

Sir stain is dangerous. How many slow laps in a row do you need. Oh just impede everyone. Entitled jerk

 

Bernie & Karoon: Let's hire 2 announcers that no one can understand

 

That was underwhelming...

 

Paul di Resta is available?

 

Oil on track?

 

P2:

Piastri crashes...the Ricci crashes....

red flag

 

I think it was piastri crashing and ricci having no where to go...I think you're pretty committed up high there...

 

yep, no good options for Danny. flagging prior to the incident wasn't great.

 

Beaker and Swedish Chef weren’t available

I predict several SC and possibly a few Red Flags during the race
Probably a wet race and a very narrow track
Its horrible really
We know Monaco is a narrow track but its a street track, whereas this is a race track with no excuse to be so narrow, other than Dutch culturw of minimalism...

 

Sainz through the gravel again

maybe he got driving tips from his dad?

 

ruh roh.

I bet Danny Boy broke his thumb

Minimalism ? Wow ...

Maybe @Bas can explain that ?

 

Maybe they will have to call on their reserve driver ... Nyck de Vries ?

 

lol

I would assume Lawson?

 

is the track to small or the cars too big?

Silverstone vintage weekend is on youtube... you get a feel for how fast a modern GP car is.

 

I had the same thing in Formula Ford in 1987 in the UK at Cadwell Park circuit.

There was a very tight hairpin on top of the mountain section which you entered sideways to gain time but one lap I screwed up, understeered into the armco with my left front wheel, the steering wheel jacknifed into my hands as the suspension broke...

Scaphoid wrist bones broken, 3 months inactivity, Formula Ford festival participation cancelled. I was going to have the same engineer who ran Roland Ratzenberger the year before when he won. Gil de Ferran my teammate had to drive me back to Silverstone where we all lived and I went straight to hospital, wrist hugely inflated....cast was put on. Thankfully it was October the season was almost over.

If this is what happened to Daniel his return year is badly compromised...a mere thumb fracture would be easier. The reason the scaphoid heals much slower is that these tiny bones are much less blood irrigated.

Just watched the video of the Piastri, Ricci crashes, Villeneuve (on Canal + channel) commenting that there were no yellows...typical.

 

you may be right, there's a picture of Daniel getting into a car on the way to the hospital with his arm in a sling. that would indicate wrist/forearm.

btw excellent name dropping in your post

 

Yeah I beat Gil every 29th of February too;-)
