F1: Giovinazzi losing a wheel in Spa crash is “a concern” – F1

Formula 1 race director Michael Masi says Antonio Giovinazzi losing a wheel in the Belgian Grand Prix is a “concern” and confirms an investigation is underway.

A rear wheel became detached from Giovinazzi’s Alfa Romeo after he spun into the barrier exiting Les Fangnes early in the Belgian GP last Sunday.

The wheel subsequently bounced back across the track and into the path of Williams driver George Russell, who was left with nowhere to go and hit it.

The issue of flying wheels was first addressed by the FIA with the introduction of tethers in 1999.

Their spec was upgraded in 2004, and again several times since, and in recent seasons it has been rare to see a wheel come off in an accident.

“Yes, it is a concern,” said Masi when asked about the incident.

“Why it became detached, I’m not 100% sure.

“But immediately once the car came

Espargaro’s FP4 crash because he was “super pumped” on Austrian MotoGP pace – MotoGP

Pol Espargaro says his crash in fourth practice for the MotoGP Austrian Grand Prix was because he was “super pumped” about his ‘best’ race pace.

The KTM rider came into FP4 fastest on the combined times and led the way in the final 30-minute practice ahead of qualifying having focused on his race pace.

A crash in the closing seven minutes at the Turn 9 Rindt right-hander wrecked his number one bike, leaving him with just one RC16 for the Q2 session.

Espargaro missed pole by just 0.162 seconds and will start KTM’s home grand prix from fifth on the grid, though feels “ready to fight”.

“It was a good day, overall it was amazing,” Espargaro said.

“In FP4 we by far did the best rhythm of the grid and that is super important for tomorrow.

“But unluckily I… I would not say made a mistake, but I was super

IndyCar crash at start of race sidelines contenders

The IndyCar race in Madison, Ill., lost a lot of its big names before the field even reach the starting line, including three of Andretti Autosport’s five entries.

Alexander Rossi, Simon Pagenaud, Marco Andretti, Zach Veach, Oliver Askew and Ed Carpenter all got caught up in a pileup near the rear of the field as the green flag dropped Saturday.

The incident began as rookie Alex Palou jumped out of the grid as pole-sitter Will Power took a while to ramp the field up toward the green flag. As the Dale Coyne Racing driver jumped out to the inside, fellow rookie Askew jumped the start and flew into the back of Pagenaud, who qualified 13th and was starting on the inside of Row 7. The 2019 Indy 500 champion then ricocheted into the back of Rossi two rows ahead, spinning the No. 27 Honda.

Crash Strikes IndyCar Gateway Race Right after the Start

The incident eliminated three Andretti Autosport teams from contention.

Alexander Rossi, Marco Andretti and Zach Veach suffered terminal damage in a crash that began when several cars stalled out of Turn 4.

Alex Palou darted left and Simon Pagenaud followed him out of line. Oliver Askew also darted but was not able to lift in time and drove right into the back of Pagenaud. That then collected the Andretti Autosport trio.

IndyCar race control penalized Palou and Askew for avoidable contact and both drivers were sent to the rear of the field for the ensuing restart.

Driving the Citrone/Buhl Autosport-Honda run by Rahal Letterman Lanigan, he was in 15^th on Lap 194 when the rear of his car slid wide as he approached the exit of Turn 4. The car had gone through more than 180 degrees before its first impact so it was the front-left wheel that struck the outside wall first, before both left side wheels hit again.

Then the #45 car was spat back across the track, revolving as it went, and viciously struck the tire-protected attenuator at the end of the pit wall with the right side of his car. This

Spencer Pigot has full memory of horror Indy 500 crash

Spencer Pigot says he has full recollection of the enormous shunt that ended his Indianapolis 500 and caused the race to end under caution.

Driving the third Rahal Letterman Lanigan entry under the Citrone/Buhl Autosport banner, Pigot was running 15th on lap 194 when the rear of his car slid wide as he approached the exit of Turn 4.

The 2015 Indy Lights champion spun through more than 180 degrees, so it was the front-left wheel that struck the outside wall first, before a secondary impact spun the car back across the track into the attenuator at the end of the pit wall.

The sickening impact bounced Pigot’s car into another spin, but fortunately he was avoided by the oncoming group featuring JR Hildebrand, Max Chilton and Fernando Alonso.

Speaking to Autosport, Pigot explained that he felt “light-headed” immediately after the accident but felt no lingering effects.
