    Watching Lance Stroll just hop on a scooter and then walk down the pit lane after such a hard hit is mind boggling. F1 may be the “pinnacle of motorsports” but they could learn a thing or three from the NASCAR safety teams and the NHRA safety safari.

    It's kinda nuts seeing how poorly the wrecks get cleared in F1. Every single time it's an absolute mess. It looks like they all have zero training.

    Agree with Stephen and Ross. For such an advanced racing organization, accident related responses look bush league.

    Well they have to sweep the track though. Didn’t see the need for the 2nd red flag. A safety car could have been used. It was just one car that hit the barrier.

    I believe they have to repair the tire barrier before restarting the race hence the long delay.

    Unlike Nascar the safety crews are local to the track. They are not part of the traveling F1 teams and support.

    I guess since Bianchi’s accident they decided to red flag than do the safety car.

    The 2021 regulations promised to be the biggest technical overhaul in the sport's history. The rules were set to completely change the look of the cars and in doing so rethink the way downforce is created to make wheel-to-wheel racing easier. Tied into the new rules were cost-saving measures and standardised parts that aimed to create a level playing field and a new era of F1.
    But given the extensive disruption the coronavirus pandemic has caused to F1's 2020 season (not to mention the wider world), it's easy to understand why such a major project has been delayed 12 months. The cost, man-hours and production capability required to make sure an all-new car designed to all-new regulations was delivered on time was already looking like a stretch for some of F1's smaller teams, but following the coronavirus disruption it was verging on the impossible.
