i looks like he did a good job of keeping it together tbh after the explosion
He was just transported from ICU to a Neuro Care Center

Definitely some massive head trauma

Hope he pulls through and enjoys a healthy retirement

It will cost money but NHRA needs to implement SAFER barriers to the tracks they go to. They should front the cost for these privately owned tracks for this upgrade

A MONSTER crash for anyone, let alone a 75 year old. Force is still in the ICU three days later. Not good. Dude is a legend but he should have gotten out of the game a long time ago. At that age, any hit is severe. A 302 mph crash? Good lord…

they can't let someone that old do something that dangerous. Heck, I worry if I crash on my mountain bike. I can't imagine what would happen crashing in a racing car even with the safety equipment the g forces have to be brutal.

the F1 schedule messed up putting a Sprint race against the ratings juggernaut that is day 2 of the NHL draft. Today the main event in Austria. Given that my sleep schedule is screwed up between jet lag and comimg down with covid I was up in plenty of time for this one.

Finally some drama in an F1 race. McLaren and Red Bull collide and both have to pit. Mercedes in the lead all of a sudden. If there was going to be fighting in racing this would have been where you see it. Both guys being pissy.
That was a wiiiiild ending after a pretty boring race. Max hasn’t had to drive like that in some time.

F1 on a roll with these races lately
Today was exciting. Rain and three teams with a competitive car. The two best racers finished 1-2 the best car finished 3-4. McLaren has to realize they are not just happy to be there anymore and have a more coherent strategy. The failure to double pit seems obvious in retrospect as does the new medium tire choice instead of used soft tires with however many laps they had left

The evolution of F1 continues as McLaren qualify 1-2 ahead of Verstappen for the Hungary race. Hopefully Piastri wins tomorrow to keep the streak of different race winners going. It’s finally interesting to watch these races after thr last couple of years of Verstappen tea bagging everyone else.

I want piastri to win a race so badly. Perez is getting canned after the summer break at this point.
