Yes, they beat the on-sight people with the fire extinguisher. The other guys were spraying too soon. How he got out I have no idea. Looks like he did a full 360 trying to get out of the cockpit. Well, if there is any doubt of miracles, people should watch that. I didn't think it was going to be that bad, but when they showed the cockpit through the ARMCO I was stunned.I’m here to tell you, the two safety guys that rushed to the car (one to extinguish the flames and the other to dive into them to pull Grosjean out) are complete studs.
The footage they are now airing is out of this world.
Just absolutely amazing. That was a heck of an impact and a total inferno.
Yes, though, the medical car folks were amazing. True studs.
The level of complete professionalism in F-1 is astounding. Any other motorsports organization would have had a fatality today. Even IMSA/LeMans cars are not built to handle that level of crash. Let alone their organized safety protocols, exit tests, etc, etc.
