The Formula 1 Thread 🏎

I hope so too. The official statement was quick to say he was “conscious and well”, but even so, I couldn’t stop thinking back to when we heard about Michael Schumacher’s skiing accident. :crossed_fingers:

My mind went to Alex Zinardi’s accident.

Im hoping that Alonso will have a fast recovery.

Yeah I think many Shumi and Alonso fans are experiencing a bit of PTSD here

Still waiting on an update on Alonso

From reddit there is a thread stating he only lost a tooth and bruised his face badly - no broken jaw. So holding thumbs

It won’t be a proper start to the season if Merc didn’t admit they have issues with their engine lol.

Am I the only one who is ignoring the news that comes from the Merc camp… I believe that Lewis’s contract was sorted out last year - now blaming covid for not signing - bullshit - they knew they would get more news out of it.

I agree. We all knew that Hamilton would stay.

I think it was sorted in a handshake agreement, but with details to be hashed out and then signed. Merc only ever said “it’s not signed”, which everyone (read: the internet) took to mean drama. I think it was just a matter of the exact payment (ie. does Sir Lewis get a 5, or 5.5 percent bump?) and the mechanism of Merc’s support for Lewis’ other racing endeavours like the Hamilton Commission.
