Bottas hopes F2 incident ‘triggers’ removal of sausage kerbs

Valtteri Bottas hopes Dennis Hauger and Roy Nissany’s horror crash in the F2 feature race at Silverstone will be “enough of a trigger” for Formula 1 to remove all sausage kerbs.

Not for the first time, and unless they are removed unlike the last, a car was launched airborne over a sausage kerb.

This time it was in Sunday’s feature race for the Formula 2 drivers at the British Grand Prix.

Fighting for position, Nissany nudged Hauger off the circuit, the Norwegian driver flying off the circuit and over a sausage kerb that he connected front on.

Launched into the air, he landed on top of Nissany, only Halo protecting the DAMS racer from a serious injury.

“It is the white line and it works in other places so I don’t really see the point of them. But I think the drivers’ meeting will be quite long next weekend.

“The thing is that something needs to happen like we saw on Sunday morning. Hopefully, that’s enough
