he literally would’ve missed it if he didn’t turn the wheel for no reason unless he was coming too hot on the turn, but still that’s why you have a radio team
He wasn't overtaking. Those 2 in front managed to slow down fast enough while he was unable to do so and the most obvious reason to me is because those 2 in front of him saw the car and were braking hard while he didn't see the car (notice how he turned more to the wall side at the moment where he was about to come in line of sight with the stopped car and thus failed to see it) Basically he didn't expect them to slam on the brakes so hard and was taken surprise by them braking there as he probably saw the car in the grass and thought that was the one so he turned to the left to be safe but then a huge surprise... Car in the middle, the reason the braked hard. It's not the fault of the driver that crashed into the car. It's the fault of his engineer who failed to notify him properly CAR IN THE MIDDLE BRAKE CAUTION CAUTION STICK TO THE WALL SIDE AND SLOW DOWN. PS: When it's yellow, drivers are always taking advantage of it to get as close to the car in front as possible. Which is also the reason why you always see cars trying to be as close to bumper as possible with the yellows.
Check the sightlines.. he wouldn't be able to see that car in the middle until the very last moment as he tried to avoid a crash with the car in front of him. Even then he tried to steer around it, but there just wasn't enough room left so he sideswiped it.
@@SeedlingNL "Tried to avoid a crash with the car in front of him" Yellow means slow down. Also the car in front of him was WAY closer to the car he was following, yet didn't do anything stupid like that 🤷 I don't know why people are trying to defend such careless driving.
EXCUSE ME??!!!! How the F did that happen? This guy should NOT be allowed on a track. Absolutely unreal. he could have ended the life of the other guy... danger to all drivers for absolutely NO reason.
Driver thought the yellow was for the car off the track. Really should have been a red flag. There’s no reason that it was only a double yellow. Section of track way too fast. Driver could have avoided it (possibly) but was left to make a decision based on his own judgement. Red flag would have prevented this. Also the European use of the red flag is wrong. Red should mean STOP is a safe manner and await further instructions. Not return to the pits at a reduced speed.
@@carnivorebear6582yea he should’ve slowed down but it’s wet and the first car slowed right when he was next to the car and that car behind had way too much speed under the yellow. Still it should’ve been a red flag regardless of any other argument. They have to tow the car off the track, that’s a red
They did slow down, if there wasn’t a car there they’d be flat out going into eau rouge, u can literally see the cars losing speed before going past the car
Nicolas Baert is sitting in the car that's on the grass at the side of the track. Adrian D'Silva crashes into Christian Hook's car. Baert and Cook are stationary due to a previous crash between the two of them. All three of them are ok.
No driver us going to intentionally smash into a car like that. Not only does it ruin your race but it's also insanely risky for your health. Not sure why he hit him. Almost looks like he didn't think he could make it around on the outside, or he's blind. The line he took wouldn't have worked for that turn so I think he panicked and tries to avoid on the inside. Bad driver nonetheless
Nah you are, He is in a Gr.3 Car required to wear a helmet while racing for hours. The people that are dumb here is you and the people who thought it should’ve been a yellow flag instead of a red 🤦🏾♂️
Don't defend the person who hit him, he's clearly a stupid racer, he already knew yellow but didn't slow down and was still trying to overtake, he didn't even see a car in the middle even though it was actually visible from afar.
So many people are so ignorant, trying to defend this driver 1: It's double yellow. That means slow down. And no overtaking, period. 2: The car he was chasing was _way_ closer to the car in front. Don't tell me there was not enough time to react. 3. Adrian D'Silva is a 60 year old pay driver. If it was an actual professional, this wouldnt have happened. But a lot of endurance teams have "gentleman drivers", who are rich, elderly people who fund a team in exchange for a few laps of thrills. That's why this happened. There's no excuse except a lack of talent, aged reflexes, and poor judgement.
Please do not hate on him, everybody makes mistakes. Being a race car driver on that kind of level is extremely difficult and sometimes split second decisions are necessary. In this case he should have slowed down for the yellow flag, or his radio team should have notified him, but you could tell he was coming in hot and had no choice but to risk turning to his left.
Yall talking about him not being able to see it when he was right behind a car blocking his view he didn’t see it until the last second. That’s his teams fault.
i’m not sure if this is what happened, but i have an idea. the driver at the end who hit the parked car most likely went to go to the right of it, but saw the car in front slam the brakes, clogging the hole, which made him have a tough choice. from his end, it must’ve looked like he would either go to the right side and smash into the car slowing in front of him, or gamble with diving to the left to avoid everything. sadly, he tried to go to the left and hit the parked car
One of the most amusing parts of automotive racing is the fact you basically have to be rich to go into. So many buy their way into racing while possessing little to no skill.
The reason I don’t get angry when F1 gets red flagged after a silly crash. Small things can turn into deadly crashes and you cannot underestimate people’s blindness
im surprised he didnt crash way before that, driving with eyes closed is so hard. Thats why he didnt see the cars in front just continue the way they were going and drove straight into the crash
His windshield must be filthy if he couldn't see that. Going inside into that small left corner to set up the sharp right turn that comes after the shallow left makes sense but he obviously didn't even see that car.
He might have thought that he’s getting too close to the car in front of him. Look how the distance gets closer shortly before he crashed. He might have tried to avoid crashing into the tail of that guy in front.
Why did he turn last minute? That looked very weird… Hope they are both safe, but the one that turned into the stranded car last minute should get his eyes checked…
Double waved yellows, the cars in front of him slowing down and hugging the wall And yet he just keep going at full speed and into the middle of the track. That should be bannable
For all you saying it's his fault you're forgetting he is behind another car who is also in a train, he probably only saw the stopped car like 10 metres before contact
@RacingAnt mate all those cars were speeding + double yellow means slow down to gear 5 at most which he clearly was doing and another point is that the only visable car is the car on the grass, accordong to the FIA you follow the leading car and match his pace in order to catch a saftey car if its released if not you all match the delta speed on the drivers dash which im sure he did
To me it seems like due to him following the cars ahead, he couldn’t see the crashed car. And due to the car infront of him slowing down, he swerved to avoid hitting his rear
Everyone arguing "if he is blind or what" but in a real racing scenario. Where the car in front is slowing down quickly and you have nearly no space. The driver who crashed with the stopped car, had only two choice: crash with the car stopping, or try to take another way. Also, is not like Gran Turismo where every single car is lightweight and you just need to slow down. If he lock the steering while braking, it end badly, if he slips while braking, end badly, there is many variables that we don't see in most racing games.
Most vehicles in racing have ABS, TCR and more to assist the racer. But be sure those technologies don't work like in games. ABS can fail, TCR can fail. Any tech assistance can fail at any moment.
Double waved yellows and still manages to swerve into the car in the middle of the road. He literally wasn’t even going to hit him until the last moment. I need to see his onboard because that’s freaking ridiculous
I see a lot of people criticising this driver but really there wasn’t a lot of room and he didn’t think he could get through so he tried to go round at the last second but it was too late
Maybe he thought that the car in front of him is going to do a full stop thinking there are other cars stalled in front so he desperately avoided them.
This is like when you are waiting to turn out onto a main road, but you have to wait for 15 cars to go by then as you are waiting the last car decides to flash you to let you out
He had 5-12 business days to avoid that crash
It looks different from the racing perspective.
