Amazingly, Peroni walked unaided to medical car.

Horrific looking & really lucky to walk away from it.
Given what happened last weekend there'll be serious questions asked about that. |  | | |

Absolutely questions will be asked - something on that runoff caused him to launch.
One thing for sure though, those complaining about the halo look very stupid, no doubt it would have been a lot more serious without it. | | | |

Very true, the halo looks rubbish but it works & that's all that matters. | | | |

How the hell did that happen? A drain cover or something? |  |

Plastic "sausage" kerb bolted down onto track - to prevent drivers exceeding track limits for advantage.
Basically, go over them, they rattle the car, like a minimal speed bump. Paraboliica corner used to have gravel instead - slow car down, better chance of going into the wall. Removed gravel, so a run off area with sausage kerbs to slow drivers down..
If a slower F3 cardoes that, would be worse with a F1 car. The offending kerb has now been removed from the track, in practise, qualifying any drivers exceeding the limits have that laps time deleted. | | | |

Ah, couldn’t see the sausage kerb.
I’ve watched F1 for 25 years but ta for the explanation.  | |

On a side note, there’s a push for bringing back gravel (finally) after what happened at Raidillon last week. Yes it can flip single seaters, but I think it needs to be brought back...albeit sensibly. It can cause a mess on the track but it’s usually minimal.
Would sort out this track limits madness too. | |

I agree about gravel traps, the negatives are more safety cars because of cars stuck & they do cause rollers but overall i think it's a better solution.
A big part of the problem is that circuit & kerb designs that are ideal for cars are unsuitable for bikes unfortunately | | | |
