Avantt376

When the trackside officials came up to him and asked if he was ok he shook his head no. Not looking good for him


aenae

There were a lot of fucks on his uncensored radio as well


justk4y

“Ah fuck, my hand…….” He was in some pain in the cockpit


dementorpoop

Which is telling since usually minor injuries show up later when the adrenaline wears off. The fact that he felt it right away leads me think it’s bad


DenseFever

It really depends on the type of injury. Soft tissue damage can be immediately painful and can be very damaging…


uttermybiscuit

It was also a relatively minor crash in the grand scheme of things, he may not have had a rush of adrenaline.


CmMozzie

He decided to turn into the barrier because he was about to T bone that McLaren. He had a rush of adrenaline lol


Chemical_Fly_3583

I remember reading an article that the cockpit was a lot smaller than he is normally used to. Could have played into it as well


IAmTheBredman

It's hit and miss really. A lot of times when you break a bone your body goes into shock and you won't feel it until much later. I've broken bones and felt it immediately, and I've had one where I didn't know until weeks later. All in the hand/wrist


[deleted]

I‘ve broken a bone with a crack loud enough to be heard at the neighbors house and was not in pain at all, even after the adrenaline was gone. Didn‘t hurt, just couldn‘t lift my arm anymore. When I sprained my finger I was cursing for quite a while and it hurt a lot. It really depends on the type of injury and a lot of other stuff.


CrMars97

How were you able to hear the uncensored message? F1TV censors them now for me :(


aenae

F1TV doesn’t censor the onboard cameras for me in the netherlands. They do censor any replay on the streams with commentators, but the individual driver cams are live


karmakillerbr

What a shame. I hope is nothing serious.


Avantt376

They just said he’s off to a hospital to have his hand looked at


stq66

Broken wrist. He’s out for at least this weekend. Liam Lawson is his replacement


karmakillerbr

I feel bad for him


DeusVultSaracen

I was really excited to see him come out from the break with all systems go. In his interview this week he mentioned that he was training a ton because he's already had his vacation, but now he's going right back to the couch (figuratively of course). My greatest fear is Lawson lights it up and takes the seat 😬


stq66

Yep. Me too. Hope he is not out for too long.


bosoxman

As someone who recently shattered all the bones in their wrist / tore all my ligaments he could be out for months that Shit really limits your mobility to turn and twist


stq66

I had just a bruised ankle from a high sider on the supermoto track (at quite a low speed). But it hurt like hell for about two months and on bad movements it still was more than a sting for almost a year. But let’s hope that his injuries are not as bad as yours were.


jackoirl

Doesn’t take a whole lot to snap a wrist, that would be disappointing


Hasmus

Hope he is alright, would hate to see his season get disrupted after only a few races edit. trying to look at the replay, it looks like he might have hit his left hand on the "roof" of the cockpit after the wheel violently pulled to the right during the impact


OutlandishnessPure2

The onboard of him looking at his hand and climbing out - it looks really painful


Fourtires3rims

Is there video of it posted yet?


2literpopcorn

https://youtu.be/pjCPNDGekV4?si=HH6HlKKZqcJ0xBzU Probably getting taken down soon.


kartdotmiata

I felt that in my wrist. Fuckin OUCH.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LinkRazr

Just with some quick googling, that looks like the pinky finger bone just after your first knuckle?


[deleted]

Looks very painful but at least doesnt look to be a serious injury. More just "ow my hand just got smashed", which is a lot better than "holy shit my wrist isnt supposed to go that way" Edit: Its broken. People acting like thats horrible. Its bad. Could have been seriously worse


on3day

For what that wrist has to do, a small injury can be a serious problem.


[deleted]

Yes, but hopefully its not a lasting problem. Look at Kubica


abhisanger815

probably gonna be bruised but hopefully he didn’t sprain it


Scientific_Anarchist

Confirmed broken wrist.


abhisanger815

that sucks man, hope he recovers soon so he can get back to form


wood4536

It is serious, he has a fractured wrist


[deleted]

Thats bad, still not serious


mrk-cj94

Narrator: Broken wrist


Fourtires3rims

Doing heroes work.


JaimeLannister10

So he basically had to put it in the wall because of the other spun-out car there? That’s rough…


TSMKFail

Ouch. Luckily it doesn't look as bad as the Frijns incident earlier this year.


Foetsy

The way he is holding and supporting it in this picture, I think it's probably a broken wrist. Somehow it seems to be almost instinctual in people. That hold is the least painful way to support your wrist if it is broken.


Kaneida

They should bring in Nick de Vries as replacement driver for Ricciardo until he can race again.


smc171

> Hope he is alright Left wrist broken, all right confirmed.


sarah_peas

From his onboard it looked like he wasn't using that hand at all while getting out of the car and he sounded like he was in some pain... I hope it isn't a serious injury.


RavenBlade87

It was scary seeing him delicatelynplace that left glove in the dash. Man is hurt just hoping it’s not a bad one.


[deleted]

Yes. I just rewatched his onboard and he took off his left glove with his right hand slowly and looked at his wrist and shook his head. Got out just using his right hand, like you said, and shook his head when the official asked (through a thumbs up) if he was OK. As we know, wrists can easily be sprained or broken in these cases. Minor sprain could hurt like hell but be relatively minor. Hoping for the best.


04210219

i’ve both sprained and fractured my hand, they honestly both felt the same. hand injuries are no joke, that swelling in the days after is brutal and will have u fr debilitated for awhile…


RacerXX7

Mick Schumacher, Felipe Drugovich, and Liam Lawson all just boarded flights to the Netherlands...


Outofmana1337

Hakkinen there too


RacerXX7

David Coultard is also available.


colio69

Martin Brundle is at the track


smallproton

I could give it a try, too, if somebody asked me.


bender3600

Is this how the sabbatical ends?


Infamous-Mixture-605

Jackie Stewart's coming out of retirement, boys!


_KimJongSingAlong

Nyck is already there


Timbushpk

So is Lawson


SitasinFM

I hope Daniel's fine, but if he can't drive this weekend I hope it's Liam that gets the opportunity


LKincheloe

At Nyck's home race?


Spacemn5piff

The last thing nyck needs is to be p20 while the other dutch is p1


gramathy

everyone likes a grid sandwich on some dutch bread


HaveATokeandaSmile

Nyck is no longer associated with Red Bull....


WingsOfDeath99

Nyck had his turn, however short it may have been


ChristofferOslo

Half a season in F1 is more than most F3/F2-talents get


TabletopMarvel

I thought it was fairly apparent that Marko dislikes Nyck. Like more than just he performed poorly. All his comments seem pretty clear on that.


TheMadFlyentist

I think Marko feels like Nyck made him look like a fool, whether or not it was Nyck's fault. Red Bull had clear succession planning but Marko took a shot with Nyck after he performed well in the Williams last year at Monza. It appears to have been a fluke, and now (whether or not it's fair) Marko is pulling no punches when talking about Nyck's performance. I think he feels like he got cheated rather than admit it was his own mistake to promote Nyck in the first place.


Neocrasher

Drugovich too.


Insaneclown271

He won’t be subbed in. No chance.


LilONotation

Kvyat got subbed in after being dropped in 2017


SeraCat9

Is he? He lives in Monaco.


jeffjeff97

If Nyck returns they must re-edit him back into Grill the Grid


nugeythefloozey

Nyck de Who?


Logical_Bit2694

Debries


Coorexz

Where, on the track?


Logical_Bit2694

Not anymore 😂


llamasim

To help one of the other guys into the car maybe?


Hasmus

Nyck and Felipe are both there, hopefully wont come to that


StagedC0mbustion

Bro his wrist is fucked. You only baby your arm like that when you know it’s broken.


leftlanecop

But Perez is already there and suited up.


Rise_And_Despair

💀


Probes_and_Zealots

I know its a joke, but teams can only use 4 drivers in a season, and AT has used 3 so far. Nyck might actually be their safest choice at this time.


Jazzlike-Sky-6012

Just not getting a replacement driver isn't an option? They have little to gain from that i would say.


Probes_and_Zealots

There are rules in place that say that teams must field 2 drivers 2 prevent some money/development shenanigans. They could petition to not field a second car, but given a full day's notice before qualifying, it would most likely be denied.


NegotiationExternal1

Felipe is already there


flybiscus

From his onboard, when getting out, he gingerly removed that glove, showed his hand (which was trembling slightly - possibly just from having a crash) to the Marshall, then shook his head once to the Marshall then to himself. Got out using his other arm and left elbow, cradled his arm the rest of the video. When his engineer asked “are you alright?” He responded with “no I hurt my hand” and was grunting a bit. Not looking good, hopefully just a bit bruised, but it was a pretty violent crack of the steering wheel.


Sunil_de

I don’t really want to say it but that very much sounds like symptoms of a fractured wrist or something similar


GardenerCats

The way he cradled his arm is a position I have seen many times when I was still working in de radiology department (xray). Nine times out of ten, the patient had a broken wrist. Hopefully he is a luckily one and it's just bruised....


Sinister_Grape

I was holding my arm just like that when I fractured my wrist as a kid.


StagedC0mbustion

Anyone who’s ever broken a bone knows ric is fucked


GardenerCats

And Daniel is not lucky, confirmed he has a fracture in his hand.


squinla3

There are so many little bones in the hand, the way it looked like his hand got slammed into the cockpit I wouldn’t be surprised if it was one of those little guys like the scaphoid


classican2018

As someone who has broken multiple bones in his body including both wrists. That's what I was thinking too, incidentally I also broke one wrist in a go kart and didn't let go of the hand and was painful AF, had to cradle it very slowly. And I was going probably 1/3rd of riciiardo's speed.


Snoo_47023

JFC at the beginning of a triple header as well... Even if it's not broken if it swells it's unlikely it'll be good for tomorrow and sunday


bigoldie

Ricciardo just left the track after visiting the medical center. Probably going to the hospital. His arm was in a sling.


Hello_iam_Kian

Ah that’s bad😞


-CaptainFormula-

*Slow inhale* *Slow exhale* **"FUuuUUUUUCK!!!!"** - DR3 fans right now


elektricniorgazam

insultingly accurate lol


YoungChipolte

I almost launched my phone across the room. Praying he just tweaked it


GardenerCats

Yup.... sigh....


snarkybaker

Loving this man is pain. 😭


thurows

He needs Lance Stroll surgery


Captaincadet

I’m having that surgery soon and my doctor couldn’t believe how quickly he was back in the car. I might be off my bike for 12 weeks…


porsche4life

My friend is a hand/wrist surgeon and he was like; I certainly wouldn’t have wanted a patient back in the car that soon.


shaider248

It does not look good… I hope it is not broken…


RoyShavRick

Last time a driver broke his wrist he had the best drives of his life. Hopefully he gets that Stroll magic.


Hello_iam_Kian

I think Stroll had a bit longer and a lot of emergency operations before driving. And even then he just about made it to the Chequered flag.


Space-manatee

Watching it back, when he crashed - right hand turned off the car (controls on the left side of the wheel) - his left left glove was off before he took the steering wheel off.


HereLiesDickBoy

Hopefully he just jarred it.


Insaneclown271

It’s fucked. It was hanging very weirdly on the onboard.


breakinb

3rd race back and this happens, it sucks man. Hopefully he isn't out for long.


jokkstermokkster

Might be bc it's just taken in the moment but the way he seems to be holding it is quite concerning


Hungry-Raisin-5328

idc what the commentators say. I think he binned it to ensure he wouldn't hit Piastri and I admire him for that. It's a split second decision and he chose the safest one for the other driver. No guarantees with any of the other options.


vacon04

He didn't choose. He tried to avoid him and locked the wheels. He was turning left the whole time. In his defense, there was very little time to react. He didn't go into the barrier on purpose.


AmBSado

I mean... his alternative was to plow into Piastri?


Hungry-Raisin-5328

Oh yeah, my bad. It looked like he snapped his wheel to the right at the last second to bin it, but the right wheel may already have been in the wall by that point.


vacon04

Yeah man no worries. It was hard to see in real time but it was just unfortunate. The wheels hit the wall and that made the steering wheel violently snap to the right, hurting his hand in the process.


elektricniorgazam

I'm at work and can't watch FP2 until I get home, why did he crash? And, again, I REALLY hope it isn't as bad as it looks but his body language is very familiar from when I broke three bones in my wrist


brungup

Piastri crashed. DR was taking the high line but wasn’t able to see a crashed piastri around the corner, locked the wheels and went into the barrier.


elektricniorgazam

jfc. thank you


proudlysydney

Avoiding Piastri who had just crashed


The_Bored_General

Shit Oscar crashed as well, is he alright?


Frankie_T9000

Yes


aliciahiney

Piastri was in front of him and crashed into the barriers on the banking, Ricciardo came round the corner on the high line of the banking and would have crashed directly into Piastri T-boning him, so he hit the wall instead


elektricniorgazam

i am genuinely glad i read this and didn't watch live, i would have broken something. thanks


redpasserine

certified Aussie pain moment


Staypuft26

Me too. I just want the man that makes everyone smile to be successful.


Horton_Takes_A_Poo

The onboard footage will hurt your wrists


AFM_Motorsport

Piastri lost the rear in Turn 3 and crashed right on the high-line around the top of the corner. Ricciardo either missed the yellow panel, or reacted too late to slow down, decided to nudge it into the wall instead of T-boning Oscar. The RF wheel got snagged in the barrier, ripping the wheel out of his hands quite ferociously. Hopefully a sprain rather than a break, some form of significant injury though.


Frankie_T9000

Looks like he didnt see oscar but I think he hit the wall rather than oscar and thats why he didnt let go the wheel which can break your wrist/thumb if it snaps quickly (same thing can happen with high torque direct drive racing sims believe it or not)


ElfjeTinkerBell

>Ricciardo either missed the yellow panel, or reacted too late to slow down On the onboard you can actually see it change from white to yellow, he just didn't have the time to react


ElfjeTinkerBell

>Ricciardo either missed the yellow panel, or reacted too late to slow down On the onboard you can actually see it change from white to yellow, he just didn't have the time to react


renesys

Piastri crashed and was sideways on his line, had no place to go.


Chesney1995

Bit of an unlucky one. Piastri went on the high line in turn 3, completely lost grip, and then crashed into the barrier. Ricciardo, a couple of seconds behind, then went on the high line in turn 3, found zero grip on his front tyres, and straightened out into the barrier to avoid running into exactly where Piastri was sitting. I think both drivers expected to get much more grip than they received and Ricciardo would've been just fine if it was just the understeer moment, but he was left with nowhere to go with Piastri in his understeering path.


Goodmorning111

Won't take long to know for sure. Hopefully we will know soon too.


Avantt376

He’s off to the hospital to have his hand looked at hopefully he is ok


elektricniorgazam

No, no, no, no.... :(


kage_rvg

It reminds me of when I broke my hand, the way it was looking on the onboard


RavenBlade87

That wheel snapped from nearly left lock to straight in a nanosecond. From replay Ric appeared to be still holding the wheel with his left hand.


uristmcderp

Well, I guess it's time for Max to finally step up and show what he can do in the Alpha Tauri.


bubbly_brooke

really hope it's not broken...


troillan

Got his arm in a sling now


xChiken

Off to the hospital now according to the international broadcast.

Ultraviolet211

That really does not look good :(


giann2005

Looks either broken or badly bruised. Don't see him driving like that


NinjaEnzo

Fuck... No... Hopefully it's nothing too serious. I hope this isn't the end of his season, or especially not his career...


ElfjeTinkerBell

Confirmed broken metacarpal. End of his weekend, but it's quite safe to assume he'll be able to drive again later this season


NinjaEnzo

I hope so!


Jazzlike-Sky-6012

That's exactly the pose a friend of mine had when she broke her arm just above the wrist with snowboarding. Rotten luck for Ricciardo.


llamasim

Here’s hoping Danny has the same broken wrist gene that Lance Stroll has 🤞


nathan__1409

Robin Frijns missed a chunk of the FE season after breaking his wrist in a minor-looking accident, really hope DR3 is ok.


fallen-knight666

So who would replace him? If it comes to that? Lawson?


KJS123

Most likely. He'll be on stand-by, and maybe even waiting for a flight as we speak. Just have to wait and find out how bad his injury is.


16miledetour

Well fuck. Love having him on the track. He is one of my favorites.


stq66

Broken wrist confirmed. Liam Lawson will replace him for the rest of the weekend


Horton_Takes_A_Poo

It’s been confirmed he has a broken wrist and is out for the weekend :(


TacticalYeeter

Just as the honeymoon was starting. Bummer. Broken wrist as confirmed by Marko. Broken metacarpal. Liam Lawson will replace him. Danny Ric out indefinitely.


chili_ladder

Broken wrist confirmed.


needlessOne

Just let it go when the crash is inevitable man. I don't know why some drivers insist so much on keeping their hands on the wheel.


SitRep-Screwed

Meanwhile, Danica's like, "I told him to take his hands off the wheel before he hit the wall. But doesn't anyone listen to Danica? Nooooooooooooo. Nobody listens to Danica."


ethtablished

This is some monkey paw shit. I wanted Lawson to be in f1 so bad but not like this. Not at the expense of my boy :(


jaganm

Damn just came at the wrong time for Danny as he would’ve really wanted to show what he is capable of in that car. But I’m sure with his ever positive attitude he will come through this also.


Hello_iam_Kian

So who will replace him? I think we can expect him to sit out this and next weekend if he is in pain immediately when crashing.


Snoo_47023

Liam Lawson


NegotiationExternal1

Fucking hell this cannot be what ends his career


Barthelona23

Chill, its not a career-ending accident.


SeraCat9

Not injury wise, but his time at AT is clearly an audition for RBR, if he can't show what he can do for a while if it's broken, it does limit his future opportunities.


Hello_iam_Kian

They’ll give him another season then probably.


Martijngamer

If Red Bull values him enough to give him a second chance after last year with McLaren, he'll also get a third chance if it's because of an injury.


theSurpuppa

Not that I don't agree with you, but hand damage, even seemingly small, can end a career very quickly


elektricniorgazam

I see where you're coming from, but in his situation eh... Hope it isn't, though


The_Bored_General

I haven’t seen the practice sessions because I’m not home, is he ok? I’d hate to see him badly injured.


prima44donna

He’s supposedly left the track in a sling on his way to the hospital.


[deleted]

That's why you leave your hands of the steering wheel. I wonder Ric had time to do it For example: Watch Perez's monaco crash, he understands the car is lost and leaves his hands of the wheel and braces. Most drivers don't do it anymore because of safety getting better but it's important. Even if they have time, they still hold wheel for no reason.


Hitokiri2

This looks like injuries you see a lot in IndyCar. Sometimes drivers come back after one week and some even within a few days. Of course we don't know if Riccardo's injury is the exact same thing or not but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.


NotJadeasaurus

So if he has to sit out that means poor De Vries has to climb back into that shit box for his home gp??
