The crash at the start of the British Grand Prix was incredibly scary to watch, there were multiple cars involved - but the most serious incident was the one between George Russell and Zhou Guanyu.
That led to Zhou’s car being flipped at more than 150mph and sliding across the track upside down.
But one of the most concerning things, is that the safety feature that was put in place to protect the driver in this sort of incident, the roll hoop, wasn’t there during the crash.
So what happened? Did it fail? Or is something else going on here?
Let’s get into it.
Now, we should first address the incident. It was a wrong place, wrong time thing.
George Russell was alongside Zhou when he moved over to take the racing line, not realising that Gasly was between them. This send George into a half spin, meaning that Zhou’s rear right wheel hit the back of George’s front left.
This meant that the rotation of the rear tyre, and the engine power behind it, sent Zhou’s car up into the air. This rolled the car in a way that we don’t see very often. These cars have an incredibly low centre of gravity, and so tipping them over is uncommon.
Now, I personally think George is a fantastic driver, but on this occasion he made a mistake. I think it’s as simple as he either didn’t see Gasly, or didn’t think he was quite as close as he actually was. There’s so much going on at the start of a race, that it’s difficult to see everything - especially when there was a big difference in how quickly everyone started at Silverstone. George started to open up his racing line going in to Abbey, and unfortunately Gasly was there.

Wouldn't have saved 4 out of 20 drivers in the current grid, though. Taller drivers heads protrude over the halo line and they wouldn't be able to duck when inverted, bounching violently and HANS device restricts forward movement. And a few more drivers would have their helmets touching the tarmac as well. Luckily Zhou happens to be one of the more average sized drivers.

I don't know what glue you've worked with, I work in the aerospace industry on spacecraft and glue (like EA9394) is pretty weak, certainly when compared to welding. As with all fastening methods it's obviously more than just the tensile strength of the component, and that's where glue is nice since you can put a large bond line on something. But with the same area of welding and bonding, I'm not aware of any glue that is stronger than a 70ksi weld.

The safety part didn't fail, the carbon fiber it was attached to failed. In order to prevent this again, it will take a drastic change in regulations and design.

When I was doing them there was the combined static test and there was a reverse theoretical test that you passed by proving your calculations in FEA. The latter was very often, er, well, extra material is extra weight and up there it heavily effects your CoG, so yeah, the reverse test calcs were perhaps wishful thinking. Also bears mentioning that the hoop passes ONLY this combined test, swap the values around, change the values, worn't pass. Remember the old side crash tubes? Literal tubes at 90deg to X? Literally only worked along their axis, hit the barriers slightly oblique and they were useless. The cars are designed within the rules with no consideration to driver safety, dirt truth. The rules need to consider this, always. However, no-one will stand up in the TDs meetings and say "we know our car is unsafe in situation X, please change the rules".

@@PiousMoltar Even a few simple bolted connections in addition with the usual adhesive would prevent the top most layer of the carbon structure being subjected to all of the stress and tear away. The adhesive is strong enough, but the strength is limited to the layer strength it's directly bonded to. A few bolts would relieve some of that stress to a thicker area/volume of the structure. But they haven't done that because they aren't required to, as long as they pass the tests, they will use a method that saves most weight. But it wouldn't add much weight to the car if it became mandatory to add some bolted connections there, especially if a more exotic alloy would be used. Not for the current season though, can't really require them to update their monocoques with the current budgets until next year.

A great video again from Driver61. What I have learned from my co-workers ( one has done a Ph.D. in how to repair metal fractures of the airplane with glued composite plates) is that bonding is a much better way to connect parts than glue and bolted connections, less stress, and no weak points. I do a lot of fea calculations for rollover structures with implicit and explicit code, at this point for big machines, for example, the vertical load can be 100 tonnes. I do prefer explicit code because it allows progressive damage model to steel and weld structures and their alloys, to design lighter structures than implicit code.

yeah only problem with the glued composites is that for the calculations it is harder to define how the loads gets turned over. As for bolted/riveted (bolts are rarely used) connections you can to that way easier. In the c ase here i would suggest hat the adhesion between comb and top layer of the carbon failed. Therefore a bolted connections would improve that. because then the load would be applied to fully use the strength of thestructure. It also would help becuase such impacts can cause delamination which then weakens the carbon

I was wondering and if you could answer wonderful, and if not, maybe you could ask your friends: Could it be that the initial vertical impact damaged the carbon composite debilitating the bond between the top layers and the rest of the monocoque? Then, the sliding after could have caused the debilitated structure to detach? Could this happen to an up to spec part or maybe it suffered from defects during manufacture? It is my understanding that small imperfections in composites are both easy to appear during manufacture and hard to detect.

FIA should keep the original test because it seems relevant if there are cars stacked on each other or a car upside down but stationary. Another test should be introduced for more violent shunts with the load coming on more sudden with more directions?

The concept emerged when the FIA's safety working group was looking to protect the driver from flying objects. Two recent examples had been the flying spring that hit Felipe Massa's head, and the flying wheel that struck Henry Surtees at Brands Hatch in 2009 with fatal results. Prototype testing showed that any protective device would have to be fantastically strong to work at formula car speeds. The original designs looked pretty awful, but Ferrari had a hand in making them look compatible with F1 car shapes. There were many in the FIA technical family who worked on the original research and development, but the concept was formulated and pushed forward by Peter Wright and Andy Mellor.

I think that the design needs to be updated to have the actual roll-hoop extend much more below the current 'bonding' area ...The potential for such awesome and variable dynamic loads/stresses cannot all be accounted for ...and now that the authorities see that there is actually a failure point still present(bonding intersection in this case), they can do some updates. Extend the Roll-hoop 2, 3 or even 4 times lower into the Tub superstructure(even bonding it with the Tub structure at several points on different planes maybe?) ...I'm just so happy that Zhou was able to survive this one!

I find it very odd that they are allowed a blade style hoop, or even a two-leg design. Zhou's crash showed one of the biggest issues with lab testing: the real world is much crazier. As it spun upside down, it essentially wiggled the blade and seemed to have broken the carbon. A four leg design most likely would've lasted a lot longer, as it can disperse the load across a much larger area. It is also surprising it is just bonded on top, instead of being made an integral part. The entire monocoque is handmade, so integrating it would be possible. Given how important it is, it would be a good way of retaining the hoop in an upside down slide.

You get the weakest point between the layers and the comb. if you bolt the roll hoop the differs. not the bolt is hold underneath the whole therefore it is way more resitant to shearing.

Bruh. Do you not remember Canada 2007? That is THE most violent impact I've ever seen on a racetrack. F1 cars have been crashing violently for years. The Halo has protected far fewer than seatbelts, roll hoops, carbon fibre monocoques, and kevlar fuel tanks have. People like to say how many lives the halo saves. It's maybe 4 people in the past 4 years from injury. The HANS device alone has likely saved dozens of drivers from serious crippling injuries or death. An aeroscreen would be a much more visually appealing all-encompassing cheaper solution than our current halo. Btw, the halo would NOT have prevented Massa's injury because that was caused by a small piece of debris which would have slipped through the GIANT holes in the halo.

A plexiglass aeroscreen and a roll bar built into frame of the car would be a better combo.

I disagree! I have a suspicion and I'm sure I am in the minority that 'The Halo' did not save Zhou. On the contrary - it added to the speed of acceleration ... he was very lucky. It acted as a skid and caused more rotation. I think the gap between the top of the engine housing / air vent would have been more than enough to protect Zhou's helmeted head and actually act as an anchor, dig into the tarmac and slow the car down. Instead it became a missile and could have gone absolutely anywhere. That is only a theory, and is most likely wrong, but it should be put out there all the same. What saved Zhou was the incredible strength and flexibility of the car, not the halo. The halo is a work in progress, and must not be considered a success yet. In certain situations it may cause far more harm than good.

Teams already use FEA to design most if not all parts since it's been around for a long time.

@@shibasurfing I'm not entirely sure it would. If anything, I think you might guess the blade design would be better. Reducing the peak force / spreading out the impulse over a longer period of time would come from flex within the shape of the roll hoop. Both designs would be very stiff in the vertical direction but the blade would be more flexible as soon as there is a lateral component to the force thereby cushioning it a bit? Then again, that is also a very double edged sword: flexibility in the bonded region may allow it to peel up from one edge - essentially only one edge of the join will take all of the force and it will tear away from that point. That would be my hunch anyway. Of course its incredibly difficult to guess how stiff these structures are - especially since they'll have complicated internal geometries to maximise the strength while keeping weight low.

On another note, this is going to sound really nitpicky and make me sound like I'm having a go, but any chance you could mix up your intonation from sentence to sentence? Once you hear that every line of your text is delivered identically it becomes really distracting.

I work in carbon fiber building aircraft and It's amazing how much force it would take to rip it apart like that. It had to exceed at least 150gs to cause that amount of failure. Maybe it's a good thing that it did break because there's no telling where those forces would have traveled.

Believe in JESUS today, confess and repent of your sins. No one goes to heaven for doing good but by believing in JESUS who died for our sins. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(John 3:16)🥳❤️😗❤️😁❤️😚❤️

Just imagine if the car was on fire trapped in the barrier 😢 The FiA should be thinking about this and how to solve it

What's your point? Driver61 is speaking about the roll hoop, not the halo?? Do you want a lmp1 with the driver entirely covered?

Can anyone remember the last time a F1 car lost its roll hoop? The crash was really scary, they'll need stronger roll hoops and tests after this one

I agree that gasly Needs to be more careful, but I feel like in this situation it wasn’t gasly’s fault. Russel should have seen him and if you watch the crash you can actually see gasly trying to brake out of the situation.
