Carlos Sainz Killed By ‘BOTTOMING’
Just like it occurred to him in Las Vegas one week ago, Carlos Sainz had another serious fright nine minutes into free practice. Like a bus passenger, and in both situations without any blame.
Turn 3 of the Yas Marina circuit, which is driven at full power, saw an unanticipated “bottoming” this time, unlike the previous occasion when a badly sealed sewer caused scratches on his car and even shattered the floor, battery, and seat.
The car’s floor hit the track at the start of the stint, giving rise to the term “bottoming,” as the suspension reached its limit of travel. This could be the result of a loss of grip brought on by the dirty air of the car in front of it or by applying full throttle even with low tire pressure. A boat spinning and moving off the tarmac in the direction of the safety features is the outcome.
Beginning in 2022, bottoming will be a result of the F1‘s new design and the recovery of the ground effect, which is a crucial component of the vehicle after the engine and necessitates a careful balance of the car’s height to operate. Proposing, on the other hand, is the car’s rebound from 250 km/h.
Fortunately, Carlos Sainz has not suffered any negative effects from the powerful blow. Despite missing a crucial practice session during the race where a lengthy run is simulated, he will still have access to free practice 1 and free practice 2, which will help him prepare for a crucial race against Mercedes.
Alonso and nine other drivers who had given up their places to the rookies left quickly to make the most of their limited time on the track when the practice was paused for twenty-five minutes. It was Hülkenberg’s second red flag of the day when he lost control of the car due to sheer nervousness.
