It is. Got away with it.

That's an inconsistency, yeah
Verstappen will just blast past him again anyway.
Saved two lives today alone. Also in F2!
Some of the rules in F1 never cease to amaze me. Max and Lewis getting screwed over here.
At a race taking place in Britain? Bold claim
Is he not allowed to move over to the racing line? Gasly would have known he would, others on that side of the grid where as well. Looked like Gasly went for the gap too late.
At the moment it says lap 2, so a lap has been taken off the total.
Sounds lucky there was a red flag those fecking idiots trying to get on the track
The most unsafe thing about that crash was probably it hitting the fence.. The barrier is there to cushion the blow.. the car just went through it and hit the fence at speed..
Yes. That has been confirmed by the video.
Bit of an oversight to leave enough room between the fence and tyres to get a car stuck
How many are DNF? Zhou, Russell, Albon, Ocon?
Yeah could've caused a massive incident. Protesting on a fast corner absolute morons.
If they’re going back to the start, then surely they should’ve let George re-join if they could’ve fixed his car? It makes no sense
Let's face it, apart from the front cars, not involved in the accident, how do you decide the starting order for the rest of the grid?
Someone up there is looking after Zhou. Unbelievable he walked away from that
Think they should up the height of the barriers to the crowd after that, I know it's rare this sort of launch happens but it was too close to comfort to going over them. Make them clear, but taller.
Read somewhere that’s it’s just the qualifying grid, when the crash happens on first sector, first lap.
He didn't
Gasly was already in the gap, you can see him try to slow down when he realised George was going to hit him but he can't just make his car disappear.
Russell got a poor start, got passed by Latifi then tried to close the gap but Gasly was already in it.
That was a crazy crash. When I saw this car upside down in the back of the shot (of cars going through turn 2) I was sure this was going to be bad. I'm glad he is ok. Once again, it is amazing how safe these cars can be.
Even though Sainz is benefitting from this, Don't understand why he is going to start on pole again. Though I full expect max to take it back, unless Ferrari change to softs.

Holy shit those replays are insane. It’s crazy that he’s not seriously injured.
I am not sure if people understand that it's not just Lewis and Max unlucky, there's basically half of the drivers on the grid who gained positions after the first start and all of them are unlucky same as those two. Alonso gained two very good positions on the start, I'd say he is the unluckiest one.
Just seen a picture of Zhou upside down. The halo is 100% saving him as its keeping him so his head is clearing the ground. Saw the f2 crash and it saved the guy in that too
After watching the accident a few times now, I agree that was on Russell , on the Hards falling behind and trying to defend on cold hard.
Stewards have said no action will be taken, maybe should have been a penalty for the next race.

Walked away?
Yep exactly that
Might make it awkward for the spectators behind.
Anyone got video of the protesters?
Looks like Zhou is fine, fortunately.
Can someone explain, based on the rules, why it’s wrong to go back to the original grid order?
So did Hamilton? And Max took the lead? I agree with your underlying point by the way, just not with how you determine who is the “unluckiest”.
The protests were from ‘Just Stop Oil’. Wankers
I think it’s more of a bit of both tbh. How far into a gap would you expect to be to ‘claim’ track position? I’d say racing incident with a really unfortunate (or fortunate as he’s alive) knock on effect to Zhou.
it’s just the way it is. if you don’t complete a lap it’s not officially happened. just one of those weird f1 rules
It’s not wrong based on the rules. But doesn’t mean people aren’t hard done by as a result / there can’t be a debate on if that rule is stupid or not.
Vettel was at fault for the other incident too. Literally crashed into Ocon(?), he was probably dsirupted by watching the other crash and wasn't concentrated enough.
Ask them how they got to the track today.
that’s the prick who neck tied himself to the post at Goodson park Wouldn’t have minded one of the cars hitting him at 190mph to be honest (as long as there was no driver damage of course)
