Not long ago there would be no way he would have walked away from that. Amazed he pulled himself out. Halo and other safety designs showing their worth.
Got to wonder if the rest of the Drivers want to go back out there today!!
That was my thinking too. I suppose because they know he is relatively ok & the only real damage is to the car & crash barrier then in reality its no real difference to a usual crash.
Looking at it the fire seems to get worse once fire extinguishers are applied......esp the ones from the medical team. It might just be the way the fire went up, but for a few seconds it doesnt look like they helped.

Is this new barrier going to be good enough if anyone crashes into it?
They are saying his life was saved by the halo. Minor burns to wrists and ankles and broken rib or ribs. Thank God it wasn't worse than that. You fancy a go at that Ronnie O'Sullivan?

Oh they will. They are unique in the field of sportsmen in that it’s just how they are wired.
my 12 yr old son rolled his kart at 80mph a few months back. Whilst I was in tears of shock, he ran back to the paddock screaming at me to get my tool box cos he wanted to make the restart.

One of the first thing I said to my missus. Grosjean gets his fair share of stick on social, Hamilton has had filth thrown at him the last few weeks, Bottas criticism sometimes goes too far. Jesus I’ve not been too complimentary of some drivers in the past.
Fuck that - they are all different class. Whilst I sit at home and get a bit of entertainment on a Sunday this is all the reminders we needed that it isn’t just driving a car. And these guys deserve a lot more respect than they have been getting at times
Shit a brick......drama of the first order. Let’s be honest and without being flippant, most of us like to see a tasty F1 crash once in a while as long as no one gets hurt (it’s all part of the spectacle), but that pushed us all to the limits of what can be considered acceptable .....it was bloody scary. Roman would appear to be relatively OK thank God and it was great to see that all service crews rose to the occasion. Incredible footage of him appearing from the flames, in which he was completely engulfed!

If there is no halo then its Grosjean's helmet that hits the barrier!!

For the moment, let’s just be happy he’s still alive.

these guys will be good to go
