But why would they bother? It's the last lap of a qualifying session, spinning out at all kills any chance of a decent time.
He wasn't the only one. Other F1 drivers doing interviews at the same time reacted more or less the same way.
Every May, I'll check out old Indy 500 videos on YouTube. Inevitably I'll get to 1973 and Swede Savage's horrible crash. The announcers had a hard time to pick out which part of the car he was in when it first happened.
Twitter is full of other drivers this morning going essentially "fuck sausage kerbs".
Juan Manuel Correa, the other driver involved in last week's crash in Belgium, has taken a turn for the worse and is now in a medically induced coma.
Was just reading on Motorsport.com that they delayed the F1 practice to get rid of that sausage curb at Monza that caused that flip. Hopefully all of them get removed all over because that was a scary flip.
Edit: also, thank goodness they put in the "halo" around the driver's head, otherwise that might have been a different outcome.

Roger Penske has bought the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indycar from Tony George and the Hulman family.
@LordRendar - After seven months of having nothing to do except upgrade their complete and utter shit-tier service, after holding on to the money of everyone who subscribed to F1TV Pro and Access back in March and April, thinking there was going to be a normal racing season; at yesterday's season opening Grand Prix, F1TV Pro completely and utterly shat the bed. The stream didn't even start until lap 13, and it was their emergency backup 720p 50fps stream instead of the normal 1080p 25fps stream. Half of the onboard cameras didn't work throughout the race (intermittently), what few pre-show events there were went unstreamed, and a LOT of people were reporting really abysmal picture quality during the stream. Then, for the first 12 or so hours that the replay was up, it could be played on a desktop browser, but not the app with any reliability, and even then you couldn't stream that replay to a Chromecast because the audio would cut out immediately.
Add in the fact that F1TV took the money of a whole lot of German fans for service that they're now not legally able to provide due to contractual obligations and the fact that they're now refusing to refund said German fans and you have a LOT of ill-will. People are talking about giving up on the sport after 30 years of watching - not giving up watching the sport on F1 TV, giving up watching the sport.

That's cool, I'm not a huge fan watching of baseball.
Alonso is apparently back in F1 & driving for Renault next year. Meh, he's not the driver he used to be & Renault aren't a top team anymore so he's not going to get that 3rd F1 championship he wants.
He'll pick up a few points finishes but I'd be surprised if he even makes a podium let alone wins a race.
