@boredalways Does this mean Angela Cullen automatically infects herself?

Knowing how competitive he is, I'm sure he's bummed that some consecutive streak or another is coming to an end.

[fintail]

He'll be #blessed and recover in no time.

[farscythe]

@ttyymmnn eh...that is probably true
and he will be missing out on what looks to be a ridiculously fast track

@farscythe said in Hamilton has the 'Rona:

Sub-one-minute laps, right?

[farscythe]

@ttyymmnn looks like
flat out most of the way round

Great! An ever faster parade!

[farscythe]

@ttyymmnn eh kvyat is still running
i have some concerns...but i guess grosjean being out evens the odd some
still...in all seriousness i do not want to see a crash like that again
definitely not at top speed

[ttyymmnn]

@farscythe I read today that the telemetry indicated a 53G impact with the armco. Steiner was dubious, but still, that was one hell of a hit. And for him to retain consciousness is amazing, though the outcome probably would have been worse somehow if he had hit one of the concrete barriers they put in place of the armco.

Racing remains a dangerous business, but for somebody to basically walk away from that is amazing.

[farscythe]

really is...safety has come a hellova long way
tbh...ive no idea if concrete would have been better or worse...i mean... the car wouldnt have gone through...thats for sure....but i think that just means it would have disintegrated....or gone over...and he would have arrived in abu dhabi a week or so early... (or at least somewhere on the other side of the track)
that was just the worst angle to hit anything

So Alfa and Ferrari running P20-P16?

[farscythe]

@poor_sh 17 laps down me thinks
but bottas is gonna somehow fuck an easy win up...and max is always unreliable
so im voting for a replacement driver win

[Poor_sh]

@farscythe yeah i mentioned that in discord. Like if Bottas doesn't have bad luck but still loses to the replacement lol

[gin-san]

@farscythe I love the opportunity to potentially see a new race winner. Kinda sucks that it had to happen this way but as long as Hamilton recovers I won't feel bad. He's gonna have at least all of 2021 to extend his records anyway.

[Poor_sh]

@farscythe Hulks Instagram hints he's heading to Bahrain

[farscythe]

@poor_sh Russel got the seat
That's kind of awesome
Guess that means hulk to Williams

[farscythe]

@poor_sh nvm Aitken taking over at Williams

[Poor_sh]

@farscythe yup dunno what Hulk's ig meant. Mick Schumacher to Haas 2021 too
