We'll never know. It's racing. Shit happens.

Huge accident. Could have been so much worse.
It'll take a chunk out of Red Bulls racing budget.
Yep. And nowadays a capped budget.Quote:

That's what I was gathering as well. Obviously accidents/crashes happen - and ideally you don't want them to happen at 300km/h - but it doesn't seem a total surprise that it occured. (from my very limited perspective as a new F1 fan).Quote:

The max / lewis incident is embarrassing for F1
Indycar dudes slap the wall at much faster speeds with less runoff . 180mph hit is pretty lame . Max and Redbull’s reaction are italian soccer league level theatrics .
It’s a glaring indictment on how poor the racing has been in F1 to where a pass for the lead that ends up in a crash is a monumental event
Yeah, they definitely should. I always watch qualifying, but I bet more people would watch this form of it (remember a few years ago they had that terrible idea to do some sort of knockout format that resulted in no cars on track all but the very end of each session?).Quote:
