Lance Stroll speaks about Dilano van 't Hoff's passing and urges for changes to be made to Spa

PORTIMAO 2024 | Marc Marquez with the slide after his crash in PR.

fav genre of commentary is when a driver is angrily complaining on the radio after a crash and the commentator just goes "no bestie YOU were the idiot"

tw: crash

I hope you never forget this sight. These vile fucking people cheering because Lewis crashed. Before he moved. Before he exited the car. Before he was confirmed to be okay. Do not EVER compare anyone to him. I hope your tongue rots if you ever say people treat him like the other drivers.

1998 BELGIAN GRAND PRIX Michael Schumacher had built up a 30+ second lead over Jordan driver Damon Hill. On lap 24 he was ready to lap McLaren driver, David Coulthard. The team instructed over the team radio to let him past, so Coulthard slowed down but stayed on the main racing line. Due to the spray behind Coulthard, Schumacher was unsighted, hit the back of the McLaren, and caused terminal damage to his Ferrari. This was the aftermath.

this is what you “breathed a sigh of relief” at bc it happened to carlos instead of charles.

That’s terrifying, 1/3 of the car has just been ripped out

⟶ F1 fans will remember Turkey [2010] and the infamous coming-together between Seb and me as we tussled for the race lead. […] Seb retired on the spot and spent some time making weird gestures meant to indicate it was all my fault. I managed to limp back for repairs, rejoin the race and claim third place. Immediately after parking my car I had to go into the mandatory FIA press conference before I had any contact with the team; I dealt with the questions as straightforwardly and professionally as I could, went back to the paddock – and found that I was being blamed for what had happened. The post-race debrief was interesting: we were minus one driver as Seb had been excused from attending! To this day I still don’t know why he missed the debrief, which is the essential conclusion to a race weekend. It’s a time for everyone to face the music from the various departments and that includes driver performance. I don’t think team management was particularly happy with either of us. After all, we had committed the ultimate sin in motor sport – colliding with your teammate.

bonus: "It’s probably the first time in my career that I’ve had a problem with a teammate, in terms of—well, when so much was at stake. But hopefully it’ll be water under the bridge by the end of the year."

uhhhhhh ‘i thought you were in that building / plane / train / tunnel / etc that just collapsed / exploded / crashed / etc’ threads. yeah

never had my heart beat so fast until we were coming home and a crash occurred a few cars infront of us 😭

What the fuck??? A car ended up in the freaking grandstands today at Portimão during a WEC support series practice.

It's very lucky no one got injured and that no one was sitting there at that time. The driver is ok as well. But this should not be able to happen at a Grade 1 circuit. Imagine this happened on race day?

Jesus that was a really bad crash, I’ve seen okays from everyone it looks like, but good god

just saw pagenaud’s crash as well........; fuck this day is heavy

So in all fairness the car didn’t come from nowhere. So JD didn’t really feel the need to hunt down the license plate or anything. He was wearing a black jacket, it was dark as shit tonight and well, it wasn’t like he declared himself. They didn’t even really hit him, they just sorta--- it was kind of like a dance? With the car moving super fast and JD rolling over it until he smashed into the pavement. Which, yeah that fucking hurt. He was certain he heard something snap. It didn’t really hurt too bad though, on account of how high he was. So it was more like future!JD’s problem. Present!JD was more concerned with actually standing without looking too pathetic. He was focused on that when a pair of footsteps shuffled closer and without even looking up he declared very firmly. “If you try and help me Imma bite you.” He wasn’t a vampire but he sure had teeth.

wildcard bc im in my feels: “You’re scared. It’s okay to admit it, there’s no shame in it.” from papa smith to kid erwin

that comforting / reassuring vibe.

It was something hard for Erwin to describe to his father-- he was always one that struggled with his communication skills, especially when it came to describing how he felt. But something just scared him that night-- his tiny hands held onto his father's own larger one, big blue eyes looking up to his father. There's no shame in it.

" But-- they always make fun of me for crying, " The boy quietly sobbed to his father, " because-- I-- I-I don't... I don't want to be a crybaby... "

" ... I had a nightmare, " Erwin eventually admitted then. " it was... it was that I found you, and... and you weren't getting up. It was in a wrecked cart, and... and you had burns, and stuff, and-- and the Military Police wouldn't tell me what happened. Is that gonna happen to you? I-- I don't want it to! "
