Looking at the wreckage, how the hell can anyone walk away from that?3

That’s a miracle he walked away from that.1

One of the worst incidents I've seen for a long time. No idea how he is able to walk away from that with minor burns to his ankles.0

I know. It’s unbelievable really. Just goes to show that the improvements in safety and the stricter rules around safety were worth it.DaveMehmet said:Looking at the wreckage, how the hell can anyone walk away from that?1 -

In one fell swoop - the ‘it’s just driving a car’ crew are looking like a bunch of melts4

"Race control say there will be a delay of a minimum of 45 minutes before the race is restarted as they repair the barrier."

The halo has saved him!! - The front of the car AND Grosjean have gone through the middle of the barrier
If there is no halo then its Grosjean's helmet that hits the barrier!!5 -

Unreal . FairPlay the fella pulling him out of the fireball5

Got to wonder if the rest of the Drivers want to go back out there today!!0

Terrible to watch and I hope he's ok, but why am I not surprised it's Grosjean in a crash?1
-
Unfortunately its his own fault too, dont know why he needed to go across Kyvatt like thatchurch-lane said:Terrible to watch and I hope he's ok, but why am I not surprised it's Grosjean in a crash?0 -
Thats sort of my point. Hes been in so many incidents, I've thought hes been a dangerous driver since he first came into F1.1
-
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.3

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.ForeverAddickted said:Got to wonder if the rest of the Drivers want to go back out there today!!
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.1 -
Is this new barrier going to be good enough if anyone crashes into it?golfaddick said:

I’m not really sure it’s the right time to be criticising Grosjean’s driving.Once the analysis in the cold light of day has been digested, we can start all that.
For the moment, let’s just be happy he’s still alive.6 -
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?9

Oh they will. They are unique in the field of sportsmen in that it’s just how they are wired.ForeverAddickted said:Got to wonder if the rest of the Drivers want to go back out there today!!
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.
these guys will be good to go4 -
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.MuttleyCAFC said:They are saying his life was saved by the halo. Minor burns to wrists and ankles and broken rib or ribs.

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

The cameras showed Max Verstappen talking to his old man in the pit lane after the race had stopped. I wonder what he was feeling?ForeverAddickted said:Got to wonder if the rest of the Drivers want to go back out there today!!1 -
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!0 -
Now Stroll ends up upside down on the 1st lap of the restart4
-
The question must be, how did he go through the barrier. He shouldn’t be climbing back over from the other side !
