Dang, that suspension failure was actually pretty scary - Seb was lucky that it struck at a place on the track where there wasn't a lot of danger...in a different sector, that could have been really bad.
 
Aaah it seems the new placed curb in turn 8 is the issue/cause of Sebs suspension damage.

Ouch Bottas and Max overtake Charles and both already had a pitstop.
 
I saw FP1 on TV and was shocked by how bumpy this track became over the past 3 years. And after the wing at Max's car and the combination of the bumps and the new curbs in turn 8 resulting in Seb's suspension to break, i hope they will repair the track. Imagine the failure would have happened at higher speeds, lets say the back straight. God thing it happened at the exit of a rather medium speed corner than at 330km/h at the straight.

The officials need to repair this track right after the race ends imo. But its too late now for Seb tho. A shame, really. He drove like his Red Bull days the last few races :(
