Right at the start there was a collision between seven cars. Russell, wanting to avoid Gasly, sent the Chinese Guanyu Zhou (24) to hell in the Alfa-Sauber: tilting – and the Asian slipped into the mesh of the wire fences on the roof.
Naked fear for the third time
Only twice has the fear of a driver after a horrific accident been greater at Sauber: in 1994 with Karl Wendlinger in Monte Carlo – and in 2007 with Robert Kubica in Montreal. A year later, the Pole took the only victory for Sauber (with BMW power) at the same venue.
Zhou complains
But this time too, the people of Hinwil were lucky. Zhou was unharmed. However, the team received a warning for a broken roll bar. Since then, these had to be reinforced in all teams.
“I hope my Formula 1 career is not limited to this incident,” Zhou once lamented in an interview, “for me the chapter is closed.” Teammate Bottas also retired a year ago – gearbox damage
Only win in 150th GP
Spaniard Carlos Sainz (28) has had to wait a long time for his first and only GP victory. Silverstone was already the 150th World Cup appearance. At that time he won ahead of Pérez, Hamilton, Leclerc and Alonso. Sainz has only himself to thank for his debut victory – twice he ignored the pit orders, which, however, were again strategically underground.
Schumi: “Unforgettable”
Mercedes replacement Mick Schumacher (24) will certainly be a little wistful ahead of the 10th World Championship round at Silverstone. “This eighth place and the four World Cup points will always remain in my heart. You never forget that!”
A week later he even finished sixth in the Haas-Ferrari in Spielberg. That was it with his yield. Now the German from Lake Geneva has to hope for luck and an open door for 2024.
Ricciardo gets to test the title car
Just like Red Bull Honda substitute Daniel Ricciardo (33). After the race he gets to do the tire test for the world champion team. “I will prove to everyone that I am still motivated and fast enough!”
But team boss Christian Horner has so far ruled out the Australian being able to replace Mexican Pérez this season. To wait.
