Isn't that just standard for F1 drivers if they need to go to a hospital?

No. The nearest - and designated - major trauma centre for Silverstone is Northampton. Takes 12 minutes in the helicopter.

Coventry is further (just under half an hour in the helicopter), so it's used if there's a less urgent issue or for availability (Verstappen went to Coventry A&E for a precautionary CT in 2021)... or if they need the specialism. Northampton is a specialist stroke centre, Coventry a specialist neurosurgery centre.

I expect it's the former, as they have specifically said "precautionary". But it was very nasty impact with two additional hits from and all four hits (Vettel from the rear, wall from the front, and whoever hit him from right then left) were imparting forces in different directions, so a little concern is I think warranted.
 
Ferrari told Sainz to back off from leclerc
 
Holy crap Ferarri sucks at strategy. It's no wonder they haven't won a championship in forever.
 
Hamilton just got a horrible start.
 
What the hell were those Ferrari radio messages? :lol:

They are hopeless!
 
Perez had a great restart
 
Ferrari: Keep 10 car lengths between you and Charles
Sainz: OK...
 
Knew it, Perez caught Hamilton and Sainz passing Leclerc. Spicy restart.
 
Famine

Schmacher Syndrome?
They want Leclerc to win, even if it measn Sainz loses P2 which will then threaten Leclerc.

Lewis: Thats some dangerous driving.
 
Penalty shouldn't be assessed. Both drivers are at fault.
 
They need to change the GPs to a series of 5 sprint races of around 12 laps.
 
That was a brilliant sect of racing.
