Crazy race. Kudos to Mick for not settling for his position and fighting Max until the end.

Also, interestingly, the race wasn't red flagged due to Zhou. It was track invaders on Wellington Straight. The first race control message was Yellow Flag in Sector 2, before the cars had arrived. Then Yellow Flag in Sector 1 for the accident. Then Red Flag less than 5 seconds after the accident begun - which was triggered by the marshals on the Wellington Straight. Onboards from the cars on F1TV showed the protestors on the left hand side of the track by the time the cars got there, at significantly reduced speed. Race control have been very poor the last couple of years. Today, they were outstanding. |

I thought TV direction was pretty poor. So there was a lot of fast paced action in the last 12 laps, so it might have caught them out, but even then, the director at times cut AWAY from active on track action to show fan reactions in the stands. And I believe also cut away from action to show replays of prior action.
I would say a golden rule is that if there is action happening right then... keep it on the cars. Only cut away to other stuff (fans, replays, Tom Cruise, etc.) when things are more static on the track. If you must try to show multiple things, then use picture in picture. Richard |

I watched the race live and presumed it had been red flagged because of the crash. There was no mention of protesters on the track until some time later. |

Sadly, I think you're right. Not that I was ever an over-the-top Danny-fanboy but I never like to see a driver go into a steep decline like that. I think the only way out now is to re-invent himself as a back-of-the-grid elder statesman, as Vettel has done.

Man that was an enthralling race - watched it live (started at Midnight Sunday night here) and was wide awake (ish) the whole way through. Very pleased for the smooth operator that he has the monkey off his back. So many "nearly" stories amongst those near the front and so glad that Zhou was OK after that shunt. |

Hello everyone
Trust me - given I was holding Zhou's car against the fence - that the red flag flew for the crash. The protesters, although a nuisance, chose their timing very poorly indeed. That accident was the most extreme and violent I've seen close up, and I've seen a few. When I saw the thumb up from one of the team I was very relieved indeed. And then we needed to stabilise the car to let the extrication team do their thing. Outcome: favourable, although I expect he'll feel a bit sore tomorrow! I definitely didn't have "car lands behind barrier" on my bingo card. |

That section of the barrier seems quite prone to high speeds impacts. I can imagine changes being made for the future. |

At the end of the day whatever was damaged be it it fencing, roll hoop or whatever the end result of zero injuries to spectators marshals or driver (beyond being shaken and no doubt bruised) speaks highly of the various protective elements. However I believe it was good fortune no Grosjean like conflagration occured as from the cars end position the outcome would have been different. |

Well, that was fun.
People were rightly concerned and asking about Zhou, but are there any updates on Albon, who was sent to hospital? The protesters could not have picked a worse time to glue themselves to the track or have their sit on, or wahterever it was that they were doing, as it seemed to have absolutely no impact on anything in the end and generated no air time at all. I only found out that it happened by accident. |

I hope everyone understands that I'm not at liberty to mention anything further about the incident excepting that we were all ok, so was Zhou, and despite quibbling over minimum weight of cars they are bloody heavy (and hot!) when you're one of three people using your own weight to hold it vertically against the fence!
What wasn't shown on TV, obviously, was the application of years of experience by a group of people who "play with racing cars" at weekends. I'm really proud of the way the team handled it - from Dr Ian Roberts down to the bloke doing his second Grand Prix. That was a very complex extrication! |

I do have a question (which I appreciate that you may not be able to answer) but I was surprised when I saw the medical car arrive at the accident (on TV) it stopped what looked like a very long way away meaning that the Doctor had to then run to the car which took quite some time. Presumably this is a procedural thing? |
