On screen info says Vettel is third, Sky commentators say Ricciardo....so who is it?

Ricciardo.

 

[Igo]

I prefer the BBC approach over SKY. If it's serious then don't make a circus out of it when the dudes family are probably watching the broadcast at home.

SKY, idiots that they are, put Ted on after running the entire pitlane just to get the scoop.

 

[DrM]

Bianchi is in medical center according to ORF

 

[aspiegamer]

This is scary, directors are usually only too happy to show accidents.

You're not going to show a formula car slamming into a solid wall of steel in the form of a tractor. I'm assuming at this point that that's what happened. I can't imagine any other accident being anywhere close to that catastrophic.

 

[Dead Man]

I'm more worried about some of the workers being hit by bianchi, like run over. That would be the worst thing. It was not a fast section of the track, so i hope Bianchi is fine.

Yeah, seems more likely statistically but everyone seems to be talking about Bianchi.

 

[Draconian]

On screen info says Vettel is third, Sky commentators say Ricciardo....so who is it?

Vettel

 

[Elros]

Was it under safety car the crash? Fuck me im worried

Bianchi's crash caused SC

 

[AxeMan]

Rosberg has tears

 

[Addnan]

Vettel is third, they count back 2 laps or something.

 

[The_Joker]

sutil saw everything... binachi hit the jcb with the side of his car and suti said it doesn't look good

edit: they started the helicopter

Well Race ended on LAP 44 officially, Vettel was still third.
Red Bulls Teamorder failed

Hope everyone is ok

 

[Juicy Bob]

Fucking hell.

 

[brotkasten]

Where the hell is the info about Jules.

You're not going to show a formula car slamming into a solid wall of steel in the form of a tractor. I'm assuming at this point that that's what happened. I can't imagine any other accident being anywhere close to that catastrophic.

On a lighter note, christ, can't someone hire Lewis a stylist? Hair plugs, sure, but does it have to look THAT bad?

Hamilton has hair plugs? What?

 

[Elvin Atombender]

Why didn't they bring out the SC when they were recovering a car on the outside of a quick corner?

 

[kharma45]

Rosberg has tears

Vettel looks in a trance.

 

[Cyborgmatt]

"Sutil just told us bianchi hit the truck sideways. Didn't look good. Adrian was shocked."

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

sutil saw everything... binachi hit the jcb with the side of his car and suti said it doesn't look good

omfg.. !!! omg.. I really hope he turns out fine.. omg

 

[Juz]

Damn..

This is fucked up.

 

[killer_clank]

vettel's face

 

[Deaf Spacker]

The drivers look very concerned.

 

[Dead Man]

Vettel is third, they count back 2 laps or something.

Forgot that was the case rather than the last full lap. So stupid. Danny Ric 17th?

Edit; Don't know what I was listening too.

 

[Kreunt]

Pardon my ignorance but what is a JCB?

Brand of machinery, they make cranes, traktor, dozers etc.

 

[Aiii]

Oh fuck, fuck. Please be okay.

 

[Pterion]

This is bad...

 

[hamchan]

Ricciardo 17th? What?

 

[DrM]

Helicopter is taking off

This could be bad

Danish commentators say that's what happened. Bianci collided with the tractor sideways. Medical helicopter is leaving now.

 

[kharma45]

Helicopter is being prepared for Bianchi.

 

[duckroll]

What I've heard on the commentary here so far is that apparently after the crash the team couldn't get a response from him when they asked if he's okay. They also didn't allow his people into the medical center initially. Definitely something serious.

 

[aspiegamer]

Bianchi's crash caused SC

Oh, hm. I originally thought it was to retrieve Sutil's car but it would make more sense if it was after the second incident. The medical car hauled ass out there instantly.

 

[Mohonky]

Pardon my ignorance but what is a JCB?

Basically a light construction machine (but light in this context can mean 15 tonne or more)

Main concern is if he went under it, as they are quite high, if he went under it his head would be the first point of impact nefore the airbox similar to the women who died in development earlier this year or last year?

 

[AxeMan]

Vettel looks in a trance.

Yep, it's very worrying and doesn't look good though I suspect if the worst has happened then they wouldn't be doing the presentations

 

[brotkasten]

I wish they'd skip the music.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Why didn't they bring out the SC when they were recovering a car on the outside of a quick corner?

Because a local yellow will suffice. Drivers approach the corner with caution, and by rule can't improve their time. Freak accidents do occur. This is one of them. PEACE.

Oh God.

Please be ok.

 

[Tempy]

Doesn't look good.

I'm sure there is footage, just that it's serious enough not to show a replay of.

 

[massivekettle]

lol ROS still got a silent reaction/whistles, whilst VET/HAM got cheers.

 

[Staab]

Fuck, this really isn't looking good
Hope Jules is alright...

 

[The_Joker]

why the fuck are they still doing the ceremony?

 

[kmag]

The drivers look very concerned.

Hamilton seems more concerned about his mohawk to be honest.

It's F1, that's why. It has always been thus.

 

[duckroll]

This music is really, really out of place given the overall mood on the podium...

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

why the fuck are they still doing the ceremony?

exactly

seems like Sutil saw it and that's what happened. hit the tractor sideways. (

 

[RoKKeR]

Why are they doing this goddamn ceremony. Or having the music at least Jesus I don't know, seems so wrong.

oh fuck

 

[kharma45]

Apparently Jules' car is very badly damaged.

 

[Aiii]

Sutil said Bianchi side impacted the crane.

Not a marshall, Bianchi is lifted off to hospital via helicopter. As per German commentary who asked Sutil.

now is not the time...
