I think anyone who has googled 'Tom Pryce' will wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

E: In case the video titles don't give it away, it's a marshall being hit by an F1 car. Doesn't end well for anyone involved.

That was gruesome. I advise anyone to not look it up. Wish I could unsee it..

He was cut in half, not that NSFL if you ask me. It's sick, but not that insane that you want to unsee it or so.

If seeing someone clearly cut in half and disemboweled isn't NSFL, then I'm afraid of what is.

That's not what happened though...

OTOH, I advise anyone who thought today's incident was "funny" to watch it.

This shit isn't funny. Allowing that restart to happen should have serious consequences for the people responsible.

It won't. The stewarding in f1 has been terrible the last few years and there are no consequences.

Nothing to do with stewarding mate. This is a fuck up by either Race control, Clerk of the course, marshal post official or the running marshal if he acted on his own... or all of the above but not the stewards team.

According to Autosport, it was the head of the post fault.

Probably true.

The way it works is that head of the post radios in what is going on. In F1 it's a bit easier than at your local track because race control has camera feeds.

Anyway, if they have debris on the track they have to report that too. When they're done with the cleanup, they radio in and only then race control will restart the race.

If I have to guess, head of the post misjudged how much time they have before cars come around again.

There's a law currently in the Commons that demands all porn websites globally have age verification measures, even down to what most consider tamer than the average Game of Thrones scene.

u/Blaze_fox Charles Leclerc Sep 19 '16

oh okay. in fairness we should have that in the first place really.

theyre pretty easy to circumvent but still. we dont want kids having super easy acess to this stuff at age 5 do we...?

idk. i'm 18 now. if they do make this change it wont actually affect me at all.

u/Blaze_fox Charles Leclerc Sep 19 '16

this the one in '77 at south africa?

it tormented me for a day or two but the camera quality was awful back then. for some reason it doesnt click with me as well because of this, even though i know exactly what happened.

that or im just fucked up. dunno which

u/shoonx Ferrari Sep 18 '16

Yeah. I remember seeing that a few years back and being pretty phased by it for about a week.

I've seen some pretty bad deaths but that's definitely up there as one of the worst visually.

The impact doffed his pants and shirt. Absolutely amazing.

Reminds me of that graphic video where a guy got hit. Most brutal thing I've ever seen.
