In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
conscious which is good news, but maybe hurt.
Apparently he's talking to the medic
Mercedes are investigating the delta between lewis and geroge as both cars have similar setup.
I know a few have said it last race, but i thought it too early to jump to any conclusions but that e10 fuel must be causing an issue with the horsepower of the Mercedes engine cars.
Dr. Ian Roberts says Mick is conscious and they are talking to him.
Especially as it's concrete walls too. 170mph and no protection.
Normally dont if driver is unresponsive. Not good.
When you get 2 red flags in qualifying after 2 restarts and 5 virtual safety cars in the previous race it's pretty clear the track isn't right
This track is the epitome of all greed in modern sport. Because someone will make a couple of billions more, let's create a Russian roulette where people will wonder whether its this year or the next that a driver will lose his life...
Superb track, like it was back in the 1980s with f1 race tracks. Dont like tracks which dont have that risk/reward element.
Good that he's talking
If he's saying his back hurts they won't just whip him out they'll need to extract him slowly
Think they're going to need a lot of brooms to clean up the track

Mick should have bailed on the lap and just headed straight over the kerbs like Verstappen did. Unfortunately tried to carry on, then the floor rode the kerb and spat him into the wall.
Nasty impact that on his right hand side.

You look at spa making changes to make it safer and then they introduced this brutal track
he is out of the car. Whether he's lifted in his seat or extraction board they didn't say.
The track is dangerous, said it last year.
This is the big crash we all feared, looks like hevus being removed from the car.
This track is a death trap.
Just seen the crash on Twitter Jesus that’s a big shunt 
Screw this place
Don’t need an increased risk of injury/death for it to be a good track.
wow... the car is actually in 3 pieces
Any sane person knows this track is too dangerous. Monza is the fastest track and has massive run offs on all corners. This is the second fastest and has concrete walls. Seb had the right idea.
Hope they never come back here.
Oh no!
That car was broken like I have never seen another, it was in 3 bits
Lewis is so good about asking if other drivers are ok
Everything about this race feels wrong. Dangerous venue, concrete walls, hope they drop it for next year.
He always does.
it’s supposed to break apart to dissipate the energy and not send it through the driver - but that just shows the energy the impact was. I bet that was something like 70-80g force crash. He’s going to be pretty banged up bless him
same here. the war is a convenient excuse to try and break the contract but I can’t see it being easy with the saudis.
If they want a GP they should build a proper purpose built track.
How equipped is the medical centre? Thought they'd have taken him straight to hospital. Hopefully that means it's not too serious?
Looks like he is OK, battered and bruised.
Doubt he will be racing, can HAAS , replace him this late.

They're building one. I don't think they should race in KSA to begin with, but agree that they should have just waited for the proper track to be finished in a few years.
Dont think Haas will be running 2 cars tomorrow.
Will that wall need replacing?
Do teams bring replacement cars these days
The Mick incident, for those not watching quali.
That is an expensive rebuild for HAAS.
Exactly. It’s a sport, putting people’s lives at risk does in no way make it more enjoyable to watch.
Could the car be rebuilt for the race, pushing it I would think, but I was think more about Mick doubt he will drive.
That's a very good point, just imagine if it was in the race, other cars round him. The carnage would be horrible.
They dont have a spare car at the track, dont know if they have one back at the factory.
But with no car and Mick will probably be under observation and wont be able to race anyway. If I were Haas I wouldnt bother.
