00:00Ready in position at the back of the grid
00:01When that changes to green
00:02We'll be ready to advance again for this weekend
00:05For the F4 Spanish Championship
00:07There's the green flag
00:07And we're waiting for the lights to extinguish
00:10For the second time this weekend
00:12Let's race to Valencia
00:14Good start from Canthan
00:16Already starting to attack Rocco Coronel
00:18Not the best of starts from Pignada
00:20Is he going to be able to squeeze Coronel
00:21Who finds one wheel on the grass
00:23They're going to be interlocking wheels
00:25If they're not careful
00:26Surely Coronel will have this
00:27He does indeed
00:28He finds the inside line
00:29A beautiful dance to the apex
00:31Pignada's now going to go long
00:32In the hope that he can try and find the outside radius
00:35Coronel will be a little bit tentative to the inside line
00:37But this isn't his first rodeo in this car
00:39He'll be able to have a decent run
00:40Canthan's got a good run on Pignada as well
00:42Can he commit to that on the left hand side
00:44And get himself ready for the right hander
00:46A much cleaner start
00:47Oh god damn
00:48And Canthan's going to go wide with a spin
00:50Canthan facing the oncoming traffic
00:52And he's been hit by Andrei Petrovic
00:55And there's more cars going in
00:56No time for everybody to react
00:58And that is going to be a safety car at the very minimum
01:01Possibly even a red flag, Claire
01:03Yeah, no, that's
01:04I would think at this point it needs to be a red flag
01:07But we'll just see what race control says
01:09Because you've got two cars that are on the racing line
01:12And that was such bad luck
01:14I think it was almost
01:16It was a T-bone sort of situation
01:19For Vivek at the front
01:21And he just spun round
01:22And after that, unfortunately, like you say
01:24No one had any time to react
01:26So quite understandably, safety car is out
01:29They will try and work out exactly how the drivers are
01:34And it seems we've got a red flag
01:35So that's probably the right call at this point
01:37There is too many cars out there
01:39And too much debris on the track
01:40For it safely to carry on
01:42So let's have a look at this replay then
01:46He goes airborne then on the front right actually
01:50Getting out of shape there is at Vivek Cantham
01:53And obviously getting on to
01:57He's lucky not to hit the gravel actually
01:59So by then he's just a passenger
02:01And unfortunately he tries to lock up a little bit
02:03To keep it on track
02:04And then after that
02:05I think you'll see him come back onto the track
02:09So unfortunate there for Vivek Cantham
02:13The race winner from the first race
02:17Massive lightning reactions from Aleish Pineda
02:19But what you're about to see
02:20Look in the background
02:21There's Petrovic
02:22He's going to go wide
02:23He'll find himself on the kerb
02:24Because that's where the other competitors have placed him
02:27He can see this happening
02:28But you've got to remember this is in super slow-mo
02:30You've got fractions of a second to respond here
02:34And they always tell you
02:35Go where the car is spinning
02:37Because it will spit out of the way
02:38And you'll be able to keep it going
02:40But at this point
02:41Cantham's actually coming to a stationary stop
02:43There's nothing Petrovic can do to respond in time
02:46And unfortunately the Serbian
02:47Is on a one-way ticket to the scene of the accident
02:49Very unfortunate indeed
02:51One of those very unfortunate incidents
02:54What that means of course
02:55Is that we've now got no Cantham
02:57And no Petrovic
02:58And I saw as well
02:59Eliud Kaczynski pulling off in the drive
03:01So he was caught up in that too
03:02Pablo Nicobono is stopped out on the circuit
03:04Bola Wett of TC Racing
03:06Is stopped out on the circuit
03:08So it's an absolute nightmare for the drivers
03:11We're just making sure that the cars can now be moved
03:13I can tell you that
03:13Vivek Canthan and Andrei Petrovic
03:15Are out of their cars, Claire
03:16So the only thing that matters
03:18Is that both drivers are okay
03:20Yeah, absolutely
03:21That's the main thing
03:22We're seeing the marshals here
03:23Just attempting to move the car
03:25But it's got so much damage on it
03:27That it's almost difficult for them to move out
03:29This is a Vivian Cantham's car
03:31Car number 22
03:32Which is being moved on to the grass right now
03:35Jake, who is the other car?
03:37I can't
03:37Is that
03:38Would that be Petrovic's car behind
03:40The Strucken car?
03:42Yes
03:42Yes, I think it is
03:43I think it got spat out to the side of the road there
03:46So
03:46That was the difficulty
03:48And it was because
03:49They had the initial impact
03:50But then there was another impact
03:52From behind
03:53I think that might have been
03:54Boloet
03:55In the TC
03:56Who had Riccobono alongside him
03:57So that's why the two of them
03:58Joined the scene of the accident
04:00Essentially
04:01But
04:02Well
04:02Very difficult
04:03That is the stationary car
04:04Of Boloet
04:05Yeah
04:06So that's Boloet
04:07In the TC racing machine
04:08The
04:08Thibaut Courtois squad
04:10And
04:11That looks like it's got some
04:12Slight damage to the right side of the car
04:15As we see it
04:16So
04:17Yeah
04:18Boloet
04:19No chance of continuing on in that one
04:21I think we're going to see another
04:22Replay angle
04:23Let's see what happened
04:24This is the start itself
04:26Now Pineda actually got a reasonable start
04:28But Rocco Coronel
04:29He was like a rocket ship
04:30Check this out
04:34Ty Fisher actually had a
04:35Quite a bad start
04:37And you can see he gets bogged down
04:38Quite quickly
04:39Going three wide
04:40Into turn one
04:42Yeah
04:42You've got two
04:44Conflagration moments
04:45At the same time
04:46This is what happens
04:47When two drivers are not prepared
04:48To give up the ghost
04:49There's no chance for Petrovic
04:51To get out of it
04:52Bang
04:52He goes into Canthan
04:53And you've got a split second
04:54To react behind
04:55Bang
04:55In goes Pablo Riccobono
04:57Oh
04:58That was a nightmare for him
04:59Absolutely
05:00Nowhere to go
05:01It was Sebastian Frigolet
05:02That tried to get out of the wash
05:04We're going to see it from the drone
05:05It's going to look even more terrifying
05:06From this angle
05:07In goes one
05:08In goes another
05:09Ready
05:10Wallop
05:10Absolutely
05:11Nothing that anybody could do
05:13To get out of that
05:13There's the initial
05:14Impact again
05:15From Canthan
05:16With Petrovic going in
05:18And his car gets
05:19Spat out to the right
05:20Not by this impact
05:22But by the next one
05:24It's the 74
05:25Pablo Riccobono
05:25In the GRS
05:26That goes straight
05:28To the scene
05:28Of the incident
05:29And I really feel
05:30For Pablo Riccobono
05:31The thing is
05:31It's dusty
05:32It's offline
05:33He's got a car
05:34In front of him
05:34And these guys
05:35Are 15
05:3616
05:3617
05:36You've got a split
05:37Second to react
05:38Fair play to everybody
05:39For getting out of it
05:39Let's head down
05:41To the pit lane
05:42Where Alex García
05:43Can tell us a little bit
05:44More about the reactions
05:45So let's see
05:46How everything's going
05:50Yes Jake
05:50We're watching
05:51Actually
05:52To my left
05:53You can see them
05:53All the cars
05:54That are lining up
05:55In the pit lane
05:56And of course
05:57If you watch
05:58Just behind
05:59At the end of the grid
05:59You can see
06:00That there are
06:00Being some
06:01Tyres being changed
06:02So a little bit
06:03Of change of strategy
06:04In that sense
06:04Especially from those cars
06:05Who have less things
06:07To lose
06:07At the back
06:09But that was
06:10Really painful
06:11To watch
06:11Wasn't it
06:11That was a really
06:12Really big hit
06:13On that first lap
06:14We did promise
06:16More action
06:16We did promise
06:17A little bit
06:17More impatience
06:18And the drivers
06:19Have I guess
06:20Listened to us
06:21And they delivered
06:21Unfortunately
06:22Not as we would
06:23Have liked
06:23Though
06:26Yeah
06:26It's a scary
06:28One out there
06:29But luckily
06:29To see
06:30That everyone
06:30Is okay
06:31The interesting
06:31One that I saw
06:32Is Bo Louettes
06:33Who actually
06:33Misses the initial
06:35Crash that's happening
06:36And manages
06:37To get off
06:38The
06:39Get away
06:40From the action
06:41But then
06:41Unfortunately
06:43Hits into someone
06:44With the front
06:45Right
06:45And also
06:46Is out
06:46We've seen
06:47How many drivers
06:48Are out now
06:48Alex
06:51I think we have
06:52Five cars out
06:53That are not going
06:54To be restarting
06:54At least in theory
06:55But we'll be
06:57Paying attention
06:57As well
06:58In case
06:58There's anybody
06:59Else
06:59That's either
07:00Joining us
07:01In the back
07:01Of the grid
07:01Or someone
07:02Who's dropping out
07:03But there should be
07:03Five less cars
07:04So it is really
07:05Unfortunate
07:05I do want to say
07:07However clear
07:07One of the things
07:08That for me
07:09Was most impressive
07:09We know
07:11From experience
07:12That sometimes
07:13These situations
07:13Lead to a lengthy
07:14Safety car
07:15Before the decision
07:17Is taken
07:17To show the red flag
07:19This was a very
07:20Very quick decision
07:21And this is good
07:22Not just because of safety
07:24But because
07:24It saves a little bit
07:26Of track time
07:26For us to enjoy
07:27So that means
07:28Less time used
07:29Or less time wasted
07:30If I shall
07:31On safety car
07:32Condition
07:33So
07:33Good
07:34We'll have more racing time
07:35And yes
07:36We'll have to wait
07:36A little bit
07:37But if we wait
07:38A little bit
07:38Would we have action
07:39In the end
07:39I think it's all worth it
07:42Yeah that's quite important
07:43It's something that's
07:44Really been reflected
07:45Not just by the fans
07:46Who watch along
07:47But also from the members
07:48Of the paddock
07:49They say
07:49There's not really
07:50A lot of percentage
07:51In keeping the safety car
07:52Out for lap
07:53After lap
07:53After lap
07:54To clean it up
07:54You may as well
07:55Reset things
07:55The race director
07:56Has made it very clear
07:57In the regulations
07:58That he's going to use
07:59This opportunity
08:00A bit more often
08:01To give us more race time
08:02What of course
08:03This means
08:04With the absence
08:04Of Canthan
08:05And Petrovic
08:06Is
08:06It's not just
08:07Game on for the weekend
08:07It's game on in the championship
08:09Because we're looking
08:09At Canthan's car
08:10On the screen
08:11We don't know
08:11How much damage
08:12That car is going to carry
08:13Into qualifying tomorrow
08:15The mechanics are going to
08:15Have to work on that
08:16But this is potentially
08:18A race weekend
08:20Detriment
08:21Not just for this race
08:22But for tomorrow as well
08:23The mechanics are going to
08:24Have to work overtime
08:25Tonight Alex
08:26To make sure
08:27That they can get that car
08:27Ready for qualifying
08:30I think there's two very important
08:32Bits of work to be done
08:33Now
08:34In that garage
08:35One is of course
08:36To make sure
08:36That the car is in the best state
08:38It could possibly be
08:39In let's say
08:4115, 16, 17 hours from now
08:43The other one
08:44I think
08:45Is the work that has to be done
08:46To make sure
08:47That Vivek Canton's mind
08:49Is in the best state
08:50It can be
08:50In 15, 16, 17 hours from now
08:52Because the winner
08:54From the first race of the season
08:56Needs to still keep that confidence
08:58And it will be
08:59It will be difficult for him
09:00Not to have that
09:01Blow to his confidence
09:02Knowing that
09:03He was a championship leader
09:05He'll most likely lose
09:06That championship lead
09:07He'll have to recover
09:08He won't know exactly
09:09How that car is going to behave
09:10We know that as much
09:12As these are racing cars
09:13As much as these are machines
09:14They are a lot more organic
09:16Than it might seem
09:18From the outside
09:18These cars are
09:19Almost alive
09:20Any blow that they receive
09:22Any part that you change
09:24Bits of temperature
09:25Anything can change the performance
09:27So the car that you will have tomorrow
09:29It will be in a sense
09:30A little bit different
09:31Than the one we had today
09:32And he'll have to relearn it
09:33And repractice it
09:35And make sure he can get
09:36The most out of it
