F1: Sergio Perez's crash at 270km/h during Monaco qualifying

submitted by radx

1 decade 3 years 5 months 3 weeks ago

Saturday's qualifying session for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix was overshadowed by a serious crash involving the Sauber driver Sergio Pérez.

The track was silenced for 38 minutes while medics treated the Mexican driver whose car was eventually winched clear of the track.

Pérez came out of the tunnel on the wrong side of the track and veered to the right, where he hit the barrier. The car then slewed over the chicane before hitting a tyre barrier.

The first sign that he was OK came when the section of the crowd applauded, suggesting that he had seen movement from Pérez. A few minutes later it was confirmed that the driver was conscious and speaking. [Guardian]

Same place as Karl Wendlinger's crash in '94 that left him in a coma for weeks. Props to the engineers of both the cars and the tracks for their continous efforts to increase safety features.

"Saturday's qualifying session for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix was overshadowed by a serious crash involving the Sauber driver Sergio Pérez."

Bullshit it wasent overshadowed , and it wasent a serious crash.

F1 has been a compleat joke for about 5 years now might as well not bother with racing should just get the public to sit in a room and project advertising at them would be far more eficent.

Until F1 is less about Airo and they make the tires harder and less grippy so the drivers have more of an effect on performance and race result the sport is going to remain shit.
