    I’m more wondering about the view from Albon’s car, as it sure looked like he might’ve pissed himself there.

    Absolutely wild. I know they keep saying these modern cars are so safe but this really drives home how much safer they are from say even 2020. Remembering Grojean crawling out of a car on fire that was a much lighter hit than this one…

    I still don’t understand how he spinned so much, did he lock the rear while breaking, or was there contact or something else?

      There were a bunch of angles shown on Sky Sports after the sprint. He shut the rear wing while turning at the same time, and the rear immediately stepped out. Not sure if he even began braking at that point. My guess is that rearward wind might’ve been involved, seeing as the drivers complained about it all weekend.

      Edit: replay here at 0:50 is the best angle, it’s also been shown in the post-race analysis.

        The rear wing was closed long before he locked the rears. He was too close to the car in front and the aero wash lost all his downforce and he braked too hard. This is what the new aero regs are trying to reduce.
