And in a moment, his weekend at his home circuit was basically over, all for 10th place in a sprint…

Ouch

I still don’t understand how he spinned so much, did he lock the rear while breaking, or was there contact or something else?

There were a bunch of angles shown on Sky Sports after the sprint. He shut the rear wing while turning at the same time, and the rear immediately stepped out. Not sure if he even began braking at that point.

The rear wing was closed long before he locked the rears. He was too close to the car in front and the aero wash lost all his downforce and he braked too hard. This is what the new aero regs are trying to reduce.

Watch the replay here at 0:50 and tell me where you see ‘long before’.

Sorry for the previous reply, perhaps I misunderstood what you’re saying. Indeed, from what I’ve seen braking was not the issue, he lost the rear right after slapping the wing closed and turning the car, likely before he started braking.

Absolutely wild. I know they keep saying these modern cars are so safe but this really drives home how much safer they are from say even 2020. Remembering Grojean crawling out of a car on fire that was a much lighter hit than this one…

TBF Grosjean crashed into a rather different kind of barrier.

was a much lighter hit than this one

he literally went through a steel armco barrier head on, but it was race start on full tanks.

Hadn’t seen that shot. Much less forgiving material to slam into that’s for sure
Show threadSlurpingPusNov 11
It was also at an angle like Bortoleto’s, but the barrier indeed offered zero bounce.

I’m more wondering about the view from Albon’s car, as it sure looked like he might’ve pissed himself there.

A bit chilling that this looked like the 1955 LeMans disaster, except with proper safety advancements.
