Like an F1 racing car after a crash, return to the campaign so quickly

In Formula 1 it is inevitable where the drivers compete at over 200 miles per hour that they sometimes plunge against the barriers. What is impressive is how quickly a debris will be repaired.

“It is usually always checked, depending on how big the accident is,” said Ollie Middleton, the No. 1 mechanic for Carlos Sainz von Williams, in an interview.

Accidents during a race can end with a failure to be completed, but if they take place during training or in qualification, the teams have to take over a repair job. The mechanics have to repair a damaged car in the team's pit garage, but the actual task almost begins as soon as the car hits the barrier.

Alpine jumped into action at the Japanese Grand Prix of the last month in Suzuka when the driver Jack Doohan collapsed just a few minutes after the second training session.

“We have the TV feed, it was very clear in Suzuka, it was a chaos,” said Rob Cherry, the Alpine racing team manager, in an interview. “It was quite obvious about the repetition of a repetition. We also have many sensors in the car that show the loads, on the suspension, the G-Force that the chassis saw is the data-controlled page, so let's start to make reviews afterwards.”

The mechanics prepare the necessary spare parts – teams bring backup parts to the Grand Prix – and a visual inspection as soon as the car is back in the garage, provides more detail.
