His DRS was on, it either got stuck or he didn’t turn it off and had no rear traction going into that corner
yikes - that was a big hit. Hopefully he got out of it without any real serious damage to himself.
more spot fires, need to sort this out to stop it happening
and that’s it for FP2
Onboards from Doohan crash
Looks nasty.
I think they will get rid of him very soon (maybe even after this weekend) and bring in Colapinto.
Funny that money gets the likes of Mazepin and Latifi an eternity to drive but if you don’t bring a fkton of cash you’re straight out
If you are writing off the car every other race and aren’t backed by big money, yeah, you’ll get tossed out pretty quickly.
They didn’t do him any favors by sitting him in FP1.
DRS was still open as he hit the turn, no rear loading.
Isn’t it meant to turn off automatically?
DRS closes with braking or >10% throttle lift.
He did nwither of those things, and didnt manually close DRS.
He will learn, but he desperately needs a dwcwnt result soon.
He won’t survive, that crash is the end of him imo.
Alpine didn’t just set him up to fail, they sabotaged him
Yeah, he’s as good as gone
After the insightful Leclerc pit message “it must be the water” in China
Ferrari are at it again.
What’s next element they will tackle?
CL: there is air coming out of my tyre
Pit: it must be the air
Real cars racing at Phillip Island today.
GT Speed Series or whatever it’s called.
3rd red flag in FP3 due to grass fire. May make for very strange Qualifying.
May also affect strategy on race day.
