Maylander has stuffed the Aston pace car heavily into the barrier at the Parabolica, we'll see if the AM F1 crew can try to patch it up before the start of F1 proceedings

Looks like the seemingly small Aston Vantage CC discs couldn't take the braking force and appears they smashed the door window to get him out.

I'm good with 24 races but 2 month long breaks are a killer. I get the summer holiday but think there is ANOTHER month long break between Singapore and US

Get rid of the 2nd month long break and I'd be good with 22 races.

"Franco Colapinto’s backers are paying Williams $4.5 million – or $500,000 per race – so the Argentinean rookie can immediately replace Logan Sargeant."

I predict double DNF for Lando and Max. Max is going to take him out. Otherwise...

From what I see he simply overcooked it being too fast into the turn with the safety switched off hence the snaking and spin. He's been safety car man a long time and time for someone else to do it.

I mean, even top drivers sometimes suffer the inevitable ambition over adhesion, can't beat physics all the time.

Logan has new job? /JK

On a more serious note, when you are driving at high speeds anything can happen, most likely the rear got light and went away from him. The definition of driving at the limit means you are about to crash the whole time. Sometimes you do crash. This is also known as he found the limit.

That's one of the nicknames for the tubes running down the tops of the side pods. They were missing on the upgraded RB.
