O cara chegou e demorou uns 5 ou 7 segundos para abrir o extintor. com esse tempo é mais do que o suficiente para o piloto apagar com o gas carbonico . 4* deveria ter mais carros de anti incendio na pista de prontidão nos pontos mais criticos de acidentes graves. Eu vi muita demora para eles chegarem . Sobre o guardrain considerando que é uma pista de F1 , o guardrail deveria ser é Softwall. Os caras gastam milhoes em carros , e nao podem gastar 100 mil em barreiras de softwall ? Tenso isso não acha ? Açs

Yes, and one of my favorites racers is Max, and one of the reasons I like him is because he has that strong personality of his, BUT having said, I disagree with his opinion about resuming race after a crash like that, minding you, he said that if he was “a team boss” and after something like that the driver refused to return to race he would tell the driver that then he’d never sit on that seat again. Nothing could be more Max than saying that type of thing. Specially because you know he means it, but what made me laugh hard at that statement is the fact that Max team boss would absolutely be like that, at the same time that Max as a driver would likely not be daunted by that crash, BUT if there ever is a crash that is horrible even with not a fatality obvious right then and there, and Max felt unsafe or willing to put himself to return to race himself that way to take a risk, he would absolutely, simply say NO! And not go and resume racing. Cause he is just that type of person it seems, he does what he wants, he doesn’t seem the type of racer who would do something that he himself thought he shouldn’t, but would do because a boss is telling him to. In my view that is the type of personality Max has, and that is why he is one of the leaders of F1, it’s not just his driving talent, and consequently results, but it’s the personality of a leader that F1 has in him working behind the steering wheel of a F1. Maybe it’s just me, but in this grid he is one of those (probably the most) that reminds me of F1 drivers in the past all the way up to Senna. It’s the whole package there, I never felt him to be my one favorite racer there any point, but I’ve always thought he is one racer that reminds me of the sport in the past all the way to the 80 ‘s.

Thank you for this really in-depth analysis. In the first moments of this accident, as a viewer, you're just shocked when it happens and you're happy when you see nothing happened to the driver. But through this recap, I got a new point of view on this. What a HUGE impact and what HUGE efforts are made in EVERY race to just be prepared for an eventual 1 in a million chance accident to save a single driver's life in seconds. I want to say "THANK YOU" to every member, helper, and participant. Because you make this sport as entertaining as you make it as safe as possible every moment in every race and beyond it.

Watching this almost brought a tear to my eye. Credit to the drivers and all those involved in making F1 safe

It's amazing how some things can seem so unimportant when someone goes through a crazy accident like that. Very emotional moment.

Romain sit in the Medical Car was the best thing i've seen in the F1 this year.

I must say, the accurate account of what all happened was brilliant. Salute to you for deciphering so amazingly what the chain events were that led to the crash

Thank you for covering the incident with what I feel was enough coverage of the accident itself, the current circumstances and the great job the FIA has done for safety.

7:31 Footage from the helicopter reveals all the brutality of the crash and how long he exposed to fire. Miraculous...

Grosjean appears to be facing backwards when he initially emerges out of the halo. Must have been some serious body contortioning trying to get out and probably why he lost a shoe.

I have seen an interview by Grosjean about the crash, where he describes what he did and how he got out of the car. Basically the broken guard rail was above his head, and when he tried to get out of the car he was stuck inside, his helmet was hitting the guard rail. So he had to do some body cortotioning to squeeze himself between the halo and the guard rail to get out. Moreover, his shoe got stuck in the pedals area, so he had to stop his escape attempt and pull with his leg with all his strenght to free his foot from the shoe. What he managed to do after a 53g force crash is incredible. His escape is miracle, I'm so glad he made it out alive and with nothing but some minor injuries.

Great analysis. Thank you for breaking it down. I just saw this episode on Netflix. I still want to know after he initially struggled to lift himself up to get out and couldn’t b/c his foot was stuck, how he did it. Maybe it was just willpower at that point. So grateful he is ok. Absolutely a miracle. Can’t imagine being his family watching that.

Really great analysis, thankyou for taking the time to put this together.

What a beast! For him to jump out in such a fashion after that impact. The athletes debate is over, it’s a no, they are super heroes! Incredible effort by all involved

It was scary and the most longest 30 seconds we ever witness.

Always looking forward to your review. Great job as usual.

Thanks for posting this F1! Glad that Romain and other drivers like Stroll and Perez made it out safely as well. No one is talking about what an an excellent job Jolyon did of explaining the whole break down with absolute clarity and detail. Great video!

Great analysis as always, just so glad Romain was able to walk away from that.

@@JakeM218 from what I’ve heard the barrier was constructed fine, just meant to absorb impact which it did which is why he cut through it, still hate guardrail, no need for it. As far as the fuel cell goes i think they use some form of rubber or even Kevlar? Not meant to tear or stress under impact but not much you can do when the entire car rips in half.

Incredible insights! I always look forward to this guy's analysis.

Amazing breakdown. Genuine, articulate, humbly knowledgeable.

Jolyon is a joy to listen to explaining anything F1.

I can't help but think of all the safety improvements that have been made over the years, because of all the drivers who paid the ultimate price, that led up to Grojean being able to survive this horrible crash.

Superior crash analysis! Your commentary is most enlightening to our thorough understanding of the multitude of factors that caused the accident and safety features that saved the life of Romain Grosjean's life and that enabled his continued racing career!

Thank you for very helpful and clear information on the accident. Much appreciated. Well explained indeed.

Amazing analyses. I didn't know he had been hit earlier, and I also didn't know Kvyat was in the right. Terrible accident, but now we know what the Halo is there for... Glad he is ok!

So often when a car collects another like this they both go into the barriers, If that had happened I think it would have been a much worse outcome.

@colbyaf3238

Just my opinion but, no doubt it wouldn't have been pretty but alot of the time when 2 cars go off, they spin in tandem (like Botta and Ocon in Turkey) and if that happened in this case they may have both gone into the wall slower or both done 360s and tapped the wall or not even hit it. We will never know and hopefully never learn though

You should listen to his team radio. Made me sad for him.

Excellent analysis. I wish all the announcing was of this quality and delivered this way.

Man... seeing the look of despair and uncertainty on the faces of the teams at the garage and on the pit wall really brought home for me the horror of the situation and the collective emotion that everyone felt. All left helpless and trusting to hope, fearing the worst.

Incredible scenes. Worrying moments to watch on TV at the time. Seriously awful. I still can't fathom how he got out unaided. The dent in the Armco left by the top of the Halo is clear to see how it save Romain's life. No questions. So pleased to see him back at the track yesterday. Let's hope we don't see another crash like this for a very long time.

Romain getting out of that flaming wreck by himself is practically a miracle.

I'm really impressed with this video. Thank you Jolyon and the FIA for walking us through this very difficult incident and doing so in a kind and respectful way to Romain as well. I understand had the accident had a more severe impact on Romain's health and physical integrity, the coverage would be much different. The sport is dangerous, yet so many steps have been taken to improve the safety in the case of the unexplained or unexpected ever happening. I too was one that did not like the Halo, but am I glad it's there and it protected Grosjean. He will live to race again.

I was looking for a video that showed the cause and effects of the events leading to the crash with no luck, then this popped up as a suggestion. Very great explanation of what happened.
