More on the red flag, as there is a video online via @Nachez98 that shows Hadjar in the wall at T14. The back of his Red Bull is in the barrier.
It has since been confirmed that Hadjar is okay.
We have a new entry in Scrabble from 'Pete Turtle', who has put forward Fotheringham-Parker - the man that entered the 1951 British GP with a privateer Maserati.
Fotheringham-Parker is certainly faring better in Scrabble than he did in that race, from which he retired, as his name scores 36 points.
A great score, but still doesn't beat Kozarowitzky with 44.
Couple more suggestions in Scrabble:
Schumacher - 22 points
Gonzalez - 27 points
After that red flag, we have a final lap count for the afternoon:
Hamilton - 56
Hadjar - 51

Of course, Hadjar did have a higher lap count until his crash at Turn 14 derailed things.
The Frenchman has stepped into that second Red Bull seat for this year and we all know the history of being Verstappen's team-mate.
Gasly, Albon, Perez, Lawson and Tsunoda have all tried and failed since Ricciardo's shock exit for Renault - the first of which also suffered a crash in Barcelona testing at T13 on day one in 2019.
