F1 Fanatic

Another big crash in Monaco today, this time for Conor Daly in the GP3 race:

The GP2 pile-up was spectacular, but this was nasty. I’m sorry, continuing without a rear wing, even in GP3, is asking for trouble. You could see the queue behind him and an accident was inevitable. Very pleased to see Conor Daly is OK after that.

Fortunately Daly’s OK. He just Tweeted this:

Hey guys I’m ok. Just feel bad for ART guys. Car was mega and I was having so much fun. But cant help it when other people do stupid stuff.

Well whoever #7 was, that was really bad form of him to continue to race like that with no rear wing.

And whatever happened to these wheel teathers they made so much fuss about a few years back? Do they still use them? Because they clearly weren’t strong enough in this instance.

Apparently black and orange flag was waved but went unseen by Will Buxton commentating and I assume anyone else.
Very lucky Conor Daly and the marshals on that part of the fencing.
Have to wonder if it would have stopped an F1 or even GP2 car?

@robk23 I find that hard to believe, but anything’s possible. Apparently Will Buxton has it on good authority though. If true we’ll certainly hear about it before too long.

Pretty thick to drive around with no rear wing, even before he weaved on Daly coming out of the tunnel. I suspect that he would’ve faced a heavy grid penalty or even a race ban if he ignored a black and orange flag. Flipping off the stewards, not smart.

Suranovich has been excluded from the second Monaco race results.

Hmmm. Suranovich’s idiocy was worse than Maldonado’s. However, I don’t see a chorus demanding that Suranovich be banned from the sport for it.
