Fan favorite Kimi Raikkonen (40) couldn’t stop the negative record with seven pointless runs yesterday. But the Finn left both Ferraris behind at Spa in twelfth place after a bad start!
This embarrassment for Vettel and Leclerc, accompanied again by ridiculous radio messages (“that will be explained later”), was no reason to cheer on Alfa-Sauber.
Because Antonio Giovinazzi (26) delivered the scrap of the race on the tenth lap. Now the fast but unstable Italian has to tremble for his job at Hinwil. It was not the first time that Giovinazzi had delivered an accident in the Zurich Oberland.
Schumi is on the Sauber list
After at least 30 races in Formula 1, the always friendly driver finally hit a dead end. Because boss Fréderic Vasseur (52) is already looking for his two drivers for 2021. And probably Giovinazzi is no longer on the list. With Shwartzman and Schumi, two Formula 2 stars also await their chance.
After yesterday, Giovinazzi cannot help Alfa and Ferrari either. The Hinwil team simply cannot afford such total losses in a season where one race follows another! The mechanics are already on their feet. And already on the way to Monza …
What really happened in this 10th round? Giovinazzi was in 14th place. About three seconds before his teammate Raikkonen, whose onboard camera filmed the horrific accident …
Giovinazzi (“I didn’t want to let Vettel fall out of the DRS window in front of him”) lost control of the Alfa-Sauber at the exit of Turn 13 at 240 km / h in fifth. He crashed back against the wall of the tire. The left rear wheel ripped off and the car sped back onto the track.
Russell: “Wrong place at the wrong time”
There, George Russell rushed into the Mercedes Williams. The Brit: “I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I tried to dodge the bike on the left, but it hit my car. So I also flew against the wall! “His faulty car was also catapulted back onto the track and crashed into the Alfa-Sauber there.
Fortunately, both drivers were unharmed. They were the only failures in the race. The seventh training session Sainz couldn’t even start in the McLaren-Renault. An engine problem had destroyed the exhaust on the way to the exit.
