@@motorsportfan679 You don't need to spam every comment with that. Sure, he got himself out, but the fire extinguishers used by marshals as well as the driver *of the medical car* definitely did their bit. His burns could have been so much worse, who knows? The doctor was also instrumental in calming him down and performing whatever first aid was necessary (don't know if there was much in this case). The current safety features in modern F1 cars do a lot to try and prevent the situations of unconsciousness, fractures, and getting trapped which you mentioned, and all F1 drivers today are trained heavily in escaping in this manner which will prevent them from panicking and allow instinct to kick in. Maybe this video does overstate the role of the medical car *in this case* (his own quick action and features like the halo, fireproof suit, etc. were arguably more important), but whatever the medical car did contributed for sure, and this was a reminder of its importance. Who knows, in another situation it may turn out to be even more important

To everyone who has ever been involved in driver (and marshall, crowd, team... Anyone connected to racing) safety, if you've ever wondered if your part actually has saved a life, this is proof. Every incremental improvement ever made built up to this point. I'm sure there are hundreds of drivers who have lived through accidents that would have killed or severely injured them pre- the numerous changes, but Grosjean's accident is like the ultimate demonstration of how it's all come together. And for your part, whatever it has been, you have the eternal gratitude of every petrolhead out there. Thank you ♥️
