Bolt Africa @Bolt๐โ๏ธ๐ฟ๐ฆ
I am submitting a formal complaint regarding a Bolt trip during which I was placed in serious danger due to the drvers negligent and unsafe conduct....
I was picked up in Johannesburg and noticed while we were travelling on the
N1 towards Randburg that the driver appeared extremely tired. The vehicle repeatedly moved onto the white lane markings, and I had to alert the driver that we were driving on top of the lines.....
Shortly afterwards, i observed through
the rear-view mirror that the driver was repeatedly closing his eyes while driving. Concerned for my safety, l recorded a video because I intended to report the incident.
.... "In the videos attached, you can clearly see that the driver's eyes were closing while he was driving. The footage shows him repeatedly struggling to keep his eyes open, which put my safety and the safety of other road users at risk."
The driver's eyes were visibly closing while the vehicle was moving at speed on a busy highway
At one point, the driver appeared to fall asleep while driving and the vehicle started moving into other lanes while his eyes were closed. I had to tap his shoulder to wake him up. A few minutes later, I believed he had recovered, but as we approached a traffic light l noticed that the traffic signal was red and the driver was not slowing down.
Instead, the vehicle continued
accelerating. When I looked again, I saw that his eyes were closed. I immediately tapped him again, but he was unable to avoid a collision and crashed into a Ford vehicle
Fortunately, I was seated in the back and was not seriously injured, although! experienced pain in my knee immediately after the collision. The police attended the scene following the accident.
What concerns me most is that this accident appears to have been caused by the driver's fatigue and repeated loss of attention while operating the vehicle.
leven provided video evidence to the driver of the Ford because the Bolt driver was blaming the other driver despite having fallen asleep behind the wheel
Passengers trust Bolt to provide safe transportation. A driver who is too tired to remain awake should not be accepting trips, as this places
passengers and other road users at risk of serious injury or death.
I request that Bolt conduct a full investigation into this incident, review any available trip data and the video evidence, and take appropriate action regarding the driver's conduct. I would also appreciate confirmation that this complaint has been received and information on the outcome of the investigation.
๐ฃ๏ธ: "When you won Australia, you said 'I love this car, I love this engine.' Little did you know that actually you don't have the best engine. The FIA says that the Red Bull is actually the best engine and you're going to get some upgrades. Were you surprised when you heard that?"
George: "I wasn't surprised because you know, it was all agreed with the manufacturers the ADUO is based on the combustion side of the power unit. And we knew from the beginning, we knew from Barcelona, Red Bull seemingly had a really strong combustion engine."
๐ฃ๏ธ: "You did say, even in Bahrain testing. To be fair to you, you did say."
George: "I know some stuff, I know some stuff. [..] I think, you know, the performances we've shown recently as a team, it's just shown how strong our chassis is as well. You know, it's been so much talk around our engine etc. The engine is great, the chassis is incredible. So, yeah, good."

๐จ| Valtteri Bottas on Lewis Hamilton's season so far.
"It's been really impressive what he's done so far this year. He's got obviously great momentum, great confidence at the moment. At unique tracks like Monaco, he was really quick and made no mistakes at all. So yeah, it's good to see. I mean, he clearly made like a big step over the winter. I think he just gained that confidence in the car and in himself that he was lacking sometimes last year, which is natural. Yeah, very impressed, even a bit surprised."
"I think he's shown that he hasn't lost any of his ability to do great qualifying laps, great races. And yeah, maybe this year's cars suit him a bit better; or maybe it's the first car that has a bit more of his DNA in it. Those small things can make a big difference, because in the end, this sport is all about such fine margins. But yeah, it's good to see."
"[In 2025] It seemed like he was really hard on himself as well. So yeah, now he's more in his normal place and that's good to see. Every weekend he's challenged in a different way. And then with qualifying, especially, it's probably part of what he does best all year, right? He just keeps his cool. And it seems like every race he shows another level."
