I'm feeling bad for Ricciardo. Not what he needed in his return to the paddock. However excited to see what Lawson can achieve this weekend.

Yuki's third teammate this season. Anyone know what the most teammates in a season is?

[โ€“] PurpleSheeple 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good question! I would like to know that too, but a quick search didnโ€™t give the answer.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same, no dice. I'm trying to think of an instance of a 3/4th, I'm sure there's some

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Probably a quite high number from the pre-1990 privateer era. Where some teams basically were a one man show who sold their second seat to whoever wanted it for a time.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Ooof that's gotta suck. Just when he got back in.

[โ€“] birbboidaseed 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I waited a whole month to watch him!

[โ€“] PurpleSheeple 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Me too. And now weโ€™ll probably have to wait another month :โ€™(

[โ€“] Luvs2Spuj 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could be Singapore, depending on exactly the issue.

[โ€“] PurpleSheeple 1 points 1 year ago

Letโ€™s hope so

[โ€“] ArbitraryMary 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Letโ€™s face it, if Lawson performs well thereโ€™s a chance we might not see Danny again at all :(

[โ€“] PurpleSheeple 1 points 1 year ago

I have thought the same thing, but I donโ€™t want it to be true so I ignored it

[โ€“] SuperIce 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unless he pulls off a Stroll and is racing again in 2 weeks.

[โ€“] PurpleSheeple 1 points 1 year ago

I read some rumors that he would visit the same surgeon, so letโ€™s hope so.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Replays later showed Ricciardoโ€™s hands being thrown around in the cockpit due to him still holding the steering wheel when he impacted the wall, with the Australian visibly in discomfort when he stepped out of the car.

Didn't Alonso break his hand last season in a similar way? I wonder if it's possible to have some kind of safety training or procedure to prevent this kind of injury.

I don't think training would have prevented this type of incident. If you watch the onboard footage the yoke snaps almost instantaneously--he didn't have any time to react. And he had to avoid hitting the McLaren, so it's not like he could have safely let go of the wheel earlier in the corner.

Only possibility is letting go of the wheel prior to impact. But if Ricciardo had done that, he would've hit Lando, which was what he was trying to avoid by hitting the wall in the first place.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well, every former driver ever who goes into commentating says that you are supposed to let go of the steering wheel as soon as you cant control the car anymore. They know that.

The problem is that drivers tend to want to try and regain control for too long instead of crashing.
