Due to the catastrophic accident, one of Red Bull’s best drivers has officially declared his retirement.
Cars eventually transitioned from having a single sheet of aluminum to having several layers of carbon fiber. Hay bales were replaced with barriers, and we transitioned from Armco and tires to the new, safer Tecton barriers, which are now supported by tires and Armco, a universal trademark since American Rolled Mills no longer manufactures barriers.
Trees were cut down, run-off areas were expanded, and high-grip tarmac took the place of gravel and grass. Circuits became smaller, the legendary Spa and Nürburgring were simply too big to have enough marshal posts, and assistance arrived too slowly.
The crumple zones in the cars are where the nose should be located in front of the driver’s feet, but Johnny Herbert’s crash broke both of his legs.
Due to all of these factors, cars in crashes decelerate less quickly and take longer to stop. which eases the pressure on the area that is pink.
Though it is not always effective, wheels are now tethered to prevent them from bouncing away from the vehicle in the event that the suspension fails. To shield the drivers’ heads, the cars have halos.
Now that the doctor’s car is equipped with a top surgeon, we have a fully functional medical facility and a helicopter on standby, ready to transport any injured driver to the best hospital in the area.
But drivers continue to suffer severe injuries. particularly in junior formula.
Billy Monger hit another car that had spun in the rain with his F4 and lost both of his legs. Billy was not able to react in time due to the poor visibility.
And some pass away.
In an F2 race, Rip Henry Surtees was killed by a tyre; those cars now have halos. Henry had an opportunity to become the son of the third World Champion to win the championship. It appears that Mick Schumacher will be doing that now.
RIP to Antoine Hubert, the F2 racer who was killed at Spa and had a chance to win the world championship.

After being passed by Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari, which was in third place on Lap 54 of 57 and had almost passed the struggling Verstappen on a Safety Car restart three laps earlier, Verstappen’s issues became irreversible, and he had to retire from the race.
Then, teammate Sergio Perez added insult to injury for Red Bull when, on the very last lap, the Mexican spun out at Turn 1, ending a terrible day for the team that had just won the championship.
Verstappen said at the end of Sunday, “I mean, what happened at the end is obviously very frustrating, but of course before that, quite a few issues.” “To begin with, the balance was incorrect. That was a little disappointing because I didn’t feel the same way as on Friday during the long runs.

“I don’t know what happened to my steering, but all of a sudden it was completely locked, and the faster I was going, the harder it was for me to steer.” Hence, it was difficult to defend against Carlos at the restart.
