I would've expected something like this in 2016. Not now when they're running the event for the fourth time already.

In addition, there was a further incident involving Russell's Williams.
The circuit is so shambolically awful I can't help but love it. We should rejoice every time the F1 circus goes here.
Russell's FW42 was caught up in another incident as it returned to the pitlane on the recovery truck, as the crane that had extricated it made contact with a bridge and was damaged, spilling liquid onto the F1 car sat on its flatbed.

Gasly also seems to be having his usual luck this weekend - not only was he struggling again in practise, he then missed a weight check and, because Red Bull started working on the car after he went to the pit box, is now going to have to start from the pit lane. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/gasl ... e/4376427/

Good. We absolutely need one of those weekends.

To be fair its happened at Monaco a few times, and they have been doing it for 80 odd years, Button back in 2016, Barrichello in 2010.

At least there is the good news that Kubica hasn't damaged the chassis of his car, so the team should have enough spare parts for him to take part in the race. https://www.racefans.net/2019/04/27/wil ... ing-crash/

Re: 2019 Azerbaijan Grand Prix thread
Raikkonen's been disqualified from qualifying as his front wing failed the flex test. He'll be starting from the pitlane with Kubica and Gasly...which might be a safe choice given the carnage we're likely to see on the first lap.
Meanwhile, this joke of a sport continues to deliver pearlers like this.
