XXX— Buoso Di Renzo
Di Renzo's deadly crash sent a jolt through the circuit, stunning drivers, shocking teams.
The silence that ended the impact and the noise of the circuit, made the moment unforgettable—for Di Renzo, and for the thousands who watched him tumble into shards and debris.
But the most heavy thing about it was how it alone changed the trajectory of the race.
Red flag. Time consuming. It was a brutal interruption.
It slowed down a race that was sharpening toward its final set of laps, tension building naturally. Now, the spark was gone, including the hard-earned gaps as the field was compressed into one restless queue.
For a driver like Luca, who had done his best to be indomitable in P1, they scorned the crash more than Jackson Racing themselves.
The upside was opportunity. Most of the grid seized the lengthy safety car parade to complete their second stops, and get their machines fortified for the last run.
Determined to protect P1, Luca stayed out.
