Grosjean's Insane Fireball Crash | Formula 1: Drive To Survive S3 | Netflix 

@@connorgray8803 well yeah It's very rarely somebody can get out alive from such a crash, even if the driver is still alive after the crash, that huge fireball would consume him If he somehow still managed to get out like Grosjean did, their expectation would be someone with fires on their back, screaming in pain But that all did not happen to Grosjean Which is truly a miracle So it's kinda understandable the fireman kinda got scared the first time he see Grosjean coming out alive

@@benedictodunsky2790 I think it did not happen not by miracle but because of adrenaline and Grosjean's high pain threshold and his determination. He was injured in this crash, his hands severely burned, sprained foot and so on, but still he did all he should do very well, calmly and quickly, the best way possible.

@@motorsportfan679 i think the adrenaline and your instinct takes over on that moment, i think the pain came e few minutes after the crash

@@4T_Wh1plashhhSo why was he shaking his burned hands in this case just 1 seconde after jumping over the barrier?

@@motorsportfan679 good point lol

Well said he’s the luckiest one on the grid

Like Sainz said, it was an act of god.

Hes gonna be a god on the track after this probably, it's like every athletes character arc

@@projectdelta50 awaken his hidden power

Bien dit !!!!

Auron Yes, no matter how many times I watch this, I still can't believe he got out with only minor injuries. Lucky he stayed conscious because no one would have been able to get him out in time.

140-160mphr 😱

Hes car wenr broke like literally two pieces and theres an literall fireball and he just jumps on the barriers

HOW TF YO!

As such the Doom Slayer was born

It doesn't matter how much of a rival you are in racing your goal is beat them not for them to die.

Well said! He is one of my favorite drivers also! Patricia Gambino Harrington( I post on my hubby's RU-vid acct)

It's also due to the fact that Charles already experienced similar situations before where the outcome was unfortunately not the same

I agree, got my eyes teary hearing the drivers get worried about him. They care about each other It's so heartwarming.

They have, at the very least, a massive amount of respect for each other as people who risk their lives in this extreme sport every day. They know what it's like, and what the stakes are. And none of them want to lose someone they know and respect on that track. True sportsmen.

It must of been scary

🙌🏻💯

Look closely 1:35 you can see him struggling to get out. And see how important that rescue crew's extinguisher work was.

@Sachin Sharma I had that same feeling when I met an accident and was ready to die but as soon I closed my eyes I saw my mom's crying face and then realise I have so many people that loves me i can't allow death to take me away.. After that i was in coma for 6 days and i forgot many things relearning starts from A, B, C, D... After four years still trying to be my old self again at least 50 % but all i know now I have to keep trying.. Depersonalization and Derealization kept me lost for 3.8 years now I am trying to get back in life.. Hopefully one day🙏.

when I got into a motorcycle accident I thought "finally I can die" as my head was going through the windshield of a car. But then again, I have severe depression..

No cap! I'm with you!

Car breaks in two and sets a fire ball.. very safe indeed.

@@MrFwlger 140 miles per hour and crash with slide at side... Monocoque saved him...That why car cuted off.

@@MrFwlger Even in the safest cars, things can happen. Tear open a gas tank on any car at 140 mph and you'll have the same thing happen. Your ignorance is appalling.

Not denying the insanity of this crash and Romain's willpower to pull himself out of the car, but the survival cell is designed to tear away from the rest of the car in a high speed crash to help dissipate the energy. That is one of F1's many safety features working as it should. How the hell he got out of this with 'minor' burns is a testament to how far safety in F1 has come. HANS, the halo, fire resistant suits and the sheer strength of the chassis in combination with crumble zones/breakaways. The halo saved him here, 4 years prior and he was dead without a doubt.

Halo effect (survived BCS of cage called halo. Just wanted to make that joke)

The car is designed to sheer to reduce impact force, the survival cell that the drivers sit in, is what saved Grosjean's life here. I still remember the days of F1 when this would have been a death.

@@Sponge-28 thats true but the car should never break in half like this same way as micks car in monaco sjpulf not have been broken in that way always bad

@@armaanmodi If it requires an explanation, then it is impossible to explain it to you. But I'll try: The safety equipment saved his life In this crash but absolutely didn't guarantee his survival, just gave him a CHANCE (quite minimal tbh) and some TIME to save himself. He was stuck in the burning half of car and he was in shock after the huge 67 G impact, but he had to keep somehow his cool to undo all the seatbelts and cables in a fireball, to hold his breath as not to burn his lungs, to unblock calmly his foot which was stuck (he jumped out without 1 shoe!), to find the very narrow exit gap from his car sideways (blind and without oxygen!), not to panic despite the desperation and pain, not to do wrong movements because he had ONLY 28 SECONDS to react! Otherwise, just in 5-10 seconds he could black out from lack of oxygen, hot toxic fumes, pain, and the game will be over. No way someone but him could have saved him. His suit was fire-retardant only for 30 secs and his gloves only for 10, that's why he burned his hands.

As an F1 fan of 25 years. Yeah it's special but the hype and BS is going into the stratosphere.

Watch Berger crash in Tamburello. How he survived that one is unbelievable.

Anyone who downplays his survival in this crash is a moron!

I completely agree. Dale Earnhardt for example, his crash looked minor and pretty much everyone thought he was gonna be just fine and walking away from it (granted he wasn't racing F1 but the point still stands). This is a massive crash by modern F1 standards. We've built these cars to withstand these crashes and to not go up in flames like this, and to see a fireball that big with a modern car is enough to make my heart stop

Dale Earnhardt is a huge example. His crash looked tame and normal by comparison to most motorsport crashes

@@kelbyschultz1877 Not a race fan of any sort, but I saw a couple of racing crashes, some cars even go AIRBORNE and the driver lives. Dale's crash didn't even came close to being that spectacular. It's as straightforward as it can be: He went straight into a wall and slowly stopped. That's it. You can't underestimate danger, even the tamest can actually be the most dangerous. RIP

The length of time in the fire is what's really amazing. More than 30 sec and those fire suits stop being very effective even the high end ones only give ya 60 to 70 sec with the full hood and underwear. He was in there for over 2 min, before you see him stand up. It took over a min for the safety crew to get to the wreck. You lose track of time when shit is slowed down for dramatic effect. He was in the fire for a loooong time

Literally looks like something you'd only expect to see in some badass action movie. I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw this.

Lies again? Wrong Formula

after going through a steek barrier at 140 km/hr, cooking for a minute. splitting the car in half

@@paraschosmomos6002 actually, he was a lot faster than you think. That was 140 miles per hour which is almost 300 kmh. Only God knows how he got out

@@Dragon54official 140 mph is 225 km/h, far from 300 km/h (186.45 mph) but still extremely fast. The engineers who designed the incredibly good crash safety structures of his car and his personal safety gear (racing suit, helmet, HANS) know how he got out of there alive.

Yes I agree too, but it's unbelievable because at that rate of speed and ball of flames usually safety fails but it's a miracle or how one would say an act of God that's he's alive.

Fire extinguishers.

Finally, one who thanks the right one!! Yes this shows what amazing people can do when they pull together and do their best!! Thanking God is in my opinion a strange thing to do, because if that creature did exist, did he clearly let the accident happen without doing a damn ting about it, and then thanking this "god" for not finish him off is like thanking a bomber for not also stabbing you with a knife!! :-)

Lúc đó chỉ có a ấy biết mìn còn sống và đi ra ....amen

@@friedmule5403 yeah you clearly don’t understand God. God didn’t cause the accident, grosean got into that accident by himself, of his own free will and others around him.

It was decades of safety engineering progress, but I get what you mean.

Miracle and a lot of work

@@The_ZeroLine Engineering actually failed there. The gas explosive fire isnt supposed to be possible and neither isnt the car meant to be cut in two, which caused the fireball. Yes, alot of good engineering still helped there but in this one its faith more than anything to survive it.

@@mikkolappalainen_ I don’t consider it a failure because the guy got out with minor injuries in an accident that would have been fatal for 95% of F1’s history. Obviously, it was a failure in terms of fire was not supposed to break out from a kevlar encased fuel tank, but there are always odd freak circumstances that can result in unexpected results. It is unrealistic to have SAFE barriers around 100% of the track. The odds of someone crashing where Grosjean did are astronomical. Just like Bianchi, the drive shares some of the blame for doing things they shouldn’t have. Unrelated, but the same team has been in all three of the biggest accident since Kubica in Montreal: Bianchi, Grosjean and Mick Schumacher today. Bianchi was Manor which eventually became Haas.

@@The_ZeroLine I find it unbelievable that they have just those metal barriers like you'd see on a freeway. I hope changing that is what comes out of this.

I'm even more surprised that you brought Hollywood into this

it is a testament to the tech involved in there to protect the driver from the fire for this long, or long enough to get him out of there in one piece!

Looks like a Michael Bay film!

@@tylorporter2398 he's the director of drive to survive

They can't cus that is REAL. Ya cant honestly recreate how it happened, even with the best tech or acting. Seeing it live just makes the skin crawl...

had a couple of meals, grew a beard - shaved it off...... THEN Romain got clear of the car.

No all drivers went back to home met thier family had good time and than grosjean came out of fire ball....

The rest of the drivers went to pit lane, had a bite and a wee nap, went back on track for a few pace laps, then finished the rest of the race. After the post race festivities, Romain was able to get out of the car.

Movie name on netflix im romanian

Seasons go by. Hamilton retires. Verstappen becomes a champion, Mick Schumacher becomes a champion. Max & Mick retire at the age 45. THEN Romain gets out of the car.

Amazing words sir. 🙏👍

I mean apart from the fact that the car shouldn't have exploded

@@anotherhappylanding4746 I agree completely, but the whole walk away from a 140mph explosion thing... the cockpit was well designed, the fire retardant race suit, the lightening fast response of the fire and safety team, that was all spot on.

@@lylejohnson7120as it should be. They learn from their mistakes. Take nascar, they have something called a halo essentially hold their head in place and the tech was designed due to Dale Earnhearts( don’t know how to spell his name) death due to his crash.

@@ncikcochran724 I am just glad these industries learn from their mistakes. It makes me think of the 1955 Le Mans disaster where a car managed to jump into the stands killing 83 spectators and injuring 120 more. Never again would a car do that to its fans on that scale. Even in the wreck in this video he hit that wall going roughly 140mph almost dead on and though the wall was damaged the car did not fully penetrate and keep going. Designing guardrails that can hold up to that kind of impact is very impressive.

My favorite part about competitive sports, even the people playing against them know what it's like and hate to see it a d hope the best health for everyone

Well yeah, because they saw someone crash into a barrier and their car explode. I doubt any driver was like “oh damn that’s a big crash, but it’s one less driver to overtake!”.

@@ryanfletcher1899 that’s not what I meant obviously they would stop the race but it’s more then that

That's the thing about racing and the teams, They respect each other especially when one wrecks. They all understand that it could be any of them at any second. I'm so glad Grosjean emerged from that fire....like a Phoenix reborn to walk again

What’s the crew supposed to do .catch it

Wow ! blew me away when he walked out ...

Alonso do it too in Australia 2016 because he knew that his parents were watching the race. And Carlos as well in Sochi 2015. They are top racing drivers, cold brain is in his DNA

@@alejandroullod Sainz wasn't injured at all in Sochi 2015, he was just a bit in shock. But he didn't want to walk, he accepted to be transported on strechers. Both crashes Alonso and Sainz was about 40 G, Grosjean's was 67 G-forces.

@@motorsportfan679 No, Sainz wants to walk but because of the G-Force they don't let him do what he want. I mean obviously the crashes are different but they all want to say that they are okay.

@@alejandroullod Well, obviousely Grosjean after 67 G and the fireball was in worse condition than Sainz after 40 G. He had spained foot, bruised ribs and burned hands and so on, it must hurt as hell. The medics as well didn't autorize him to walk to the ambulance but he insisted! If Sainz really wanted, he could insisted too. I'm not talking that it is a good thing because it could increase his injuries. But it is very badass, though

Short and meaningful.😁

I hope your satisfied XD I LOVE YOUR VIDS

Honestly, by making this scene longer Netflix did a good job to imitate the absolute hell Romain was experiencing during these long 28 seconds in fire, as well as the eternity it felt for everybody to wait on live TV until we knew he was alive (3 long minutes). Watch his interview on RU-vid "EXCLUSIVE! Romain Grosjean reveals how he escaped horrific fireball crash" and you'll see how it was for him and his family.

28 seconds or 2 in fire, it's still a miracle he could survive. Grosjean deserves a lot of credit for it. Yes, the halo, cockpit and fire resistant suit saved his life initially, but absolutely didn't guarantee his survival, just gave him a small chance and some time to save himself. His suit can resist only 30 seconds in fire, and his gloves only 10 (that's why he burned his hands). Imagine the horror from seeing the barrier coming at you at breakneck speed, then suffering an enormous 67 G impact and an explosion, then you are BY MIRACLE still conscious and you realize that you are completely stuck somewhere in a wreck and all you can see is a fire.🔥😱💀 Yet, Romain managed somehow to keep his cool to undo properly all the belts and cables, to hold his breath as not to burn his lungs, to unblock his foot which was stuck (he jumped out without 1 shoe!), to find the very narrow exit gap from his car sideways (blind and without oxygen!), not to panic despite the desperation and pain, not to do wrong moves because the smallest mistake or delay would lead to his death as he had ONLY 28 SECONDS to react! Otherwise, just in 5-10 seconds the lack of oxygen, hot toxic fumes, pain would make his escape impossible. No way someone but him could pull him out in time and the fire was put off only 10 minutes later.

@@luz-5020 to be honest, at least to me, this was how it felt like watching the broadcast. They didn’t show any replays of the crash, for like 8-10 minutes (for obvious reasons), before he finally was filmed in the medical car

@@hurrdurrpothead5250 The real and DTS are obviously far apart but I think they delt with the matter respectfully and without to much unbelivable stuff

@@hurrdurrpothead5250 if it felt like that during the broadcast, there’s absolutely no need to dramatize like they did here. Everything is already dramatized and heavily edited, can you imagine if it just stopped and it simply replays the original broadcast with minimal edits? Would have been much more poignant, for both fans who have to relive it all real-time, and newcomers who may not be expecting the change in tone. Best of all, it’s less work for the production team. Instead, it’s cheapened by making it feel just the same as every other made-up storyline in the show.

It was almost the same on the live broadcast. The car blew out, than 5-10 mins of nothing and only after they showed him.

@@karlbassett8485 Bad move by the director. He was out the car in 28 seconds but everyone was obliged to think he was dead almost 3 minutes before they finally showed his beautiful face in the medical car.

And they would have been an eternity for Grosjean locked in his seat with flames climbing all over his gloves and helmet.

Tru but Netflix still cut it like he was in there for almost 3minutes. That they already used for several minutes fire extinguisher etc. But in reality Grosjean came out of the car before the Marshall and the Medic started to work. 3:20 Grosjean already leaving the car in this scene. And below this video several people now thinking that he survived almost 3mins in the car

It felt like 5 years. We allways watch the races together (10 or 11 friends) its allways a big party. But back then the room was dead silenced.

true. Still can't believe it was barely half of a minute. That felt like an eternity. I even thought to myself it must be pretty bad, when they don't cut back to the scene for such a long time. Kind of surreal that it were only 28 seconds

I know right, It was scary af

It’s not a miracle at all. Miracles imply extreme luck, there was no luck involved in this at all. He was massively unlucky for the car to go off at that angle and for it to split into. It wasn’t luck that prevented him from being killed. It was decades of advancement in safety as a result of the endless battle to make motor-racing ever safer.

That is Dr Roberts, the official doctor. He wasn't scared; he was physically unable to get closer because of the heat, and he was wearing an open-face helmet. He actually had burns on his face from the heat.

honestly he doesnt do anything directly to save him.....

1. Modern F1 technology: strong survival cell (no broken legs), halo (no impact on his head), HANS (no damage on his neck), Nomex fire-retardant suit and helmet (no critical burns on his body, no damage to his lung). 2. A big piece of Luck (or God if you are religious): not completely trapped by the barrier, his foot not completely blocked by the pedal, etc... 3. His training, his physical and mental strength to deal somehow with the shock and pain, not to be knocked out after 67 G impact and not to panic. If you remove just 1 element, he would be dead.

@@soonava Not only the halo. As I mentioned above, each element was crucial. Imagine if he broke his legs as Zanardi or Correa did, he could not get out from the car and he would be dead.

There never was negativity towards Grosjean, the other drivers disliked him for good reasons. It was karma that he himself became the victim of his self inflicted accident that day and not anyone else as it usually were. A truly terrible driver and completely unaware of how dangerous he was.

@@pflaffik If I may ask, why was he disliked? why did the other drivers fear that he was gone if he was disliked so much? or are you pulling this stuff out your arse because if you don't like him nobody should?

@@TrollFace93 pulls it out of her arse. Negative person.

@@TrollFace93 It is documented that he was unpopular as a driver as he made lots of rookie mistakes that he struggled to learn from. Caused a few crashes including Japanese Grand Prix. He also got on the wrong side of some people in his social media. Seems like he went on to wind up some of the people in indy car racing too I don't think he's a bad person... just controversial in some ways. You don't get an F1 seat if you are not an exceptional driver... doesn't mean you are a good racer or competitor though...

I mean that 28 seconds felt like hours

We're doing slow cook

🤣🤣🤣💀

28 seconds is still a pretty long time for a driver to get out of a car after a crash.

@@aqua2k210 exactly

What do you mean by '67Gs'?

@@sailorman8668 G's are used to measure force, it's basically just how hard the impact was. In comaprison, rollercoasters can go up to 5 G's for a short period of time. Levels as low at 13 can be lethal but that's only if they're applied for a long period of time on weaker parts of the body, so the highest survived is 214 G's.

@@lucas_h him getting out was the most badass moment i have ever seen

@Ana Simões how about praise the people who fought for the halo device? the people who fought for better fire proof overalls? you know, like ACTUAL people who were responsible for his survival.

@@broncobalboa What is it with people getting so pissy and defensive over people thanking god? It's a form of expression...

Furia francese

And his body didn’t even full recovered

the spirit of a racing driver. niki lauda got back in the car after 5 weeks and half of his face was disfigured as a result of the accident. if you have such a bad accident you have to get back into the car as quickly as possible and otherwise the human instinct will take hold. Then it is very difficult to get back to a high level you have to learn to ignore the fact that you can die in this sport otherwise you don't even need to drive

The man just loves to race. There is no point in life for some racers without racing

Absolute balls of steel, how does his racecar even drive with such a weight?

The worst accident I’ve ever seen someone get out of. I thought he died tbh. Was getting Hubert flashbacks. RIP anthoine.

@@thelittleowl1 If I remember correctly, as a TV spectator you only saw the crash and fire from the very end of the straight line, and then they quickly changed it to the cars going back into the pitlane and there was no info at all for the next 20 minutes or so (at least that's what it felt like), even though he came out of the car in like 30 seconds. Definitely thought I had just seen a driver die

They did a great job capturing what it feels like to await word on a serious crash. I was racing dirt oval go karts once when I wound up having to navigate through a huge wreck. One kid wound up somersaulting through the air and landing right on his head. They immediately stopped the race and had us park on the front straight and shut off our engines. I got out of the kart and looked across at the accident scene, and I can authoritatively say I've never heard a race track go so eerily quiet. You could hear a pindrop. And I saw that kart, upside down, and I knew the driver was trapped underneath. They must have had the race stopped for no more than 5 minutes, but as God is my witness, it felt like an hour. The whole world seemed to sigh in relief when they got the kart right-side-up and he got out and walked away. I'll never forget that moment.

@@Chabarnacle yeah I didn’t see much. Saw the explosion and fire and then cut away.

@@Chabarnacle correct,i was watching the Sky Sports coverage and right after the fireball you got about 15-20 mins of other dribers reactions on the radio and in pitlane.the commentators did say after about 5 mins he was believed to be out of the car and counsious,however it was about 20 mins until they finally showed him sitting in the medical car in total shock but seemingly ok.after that they showed us these horrible footage that till this day makes me silent,even after watching motorsports for over 30 years and losing alot of idols i followed on track this one sticks with me because of the positive outcome nobody expected.

Well said

IIRC he said then he thought about his wife and kids and was basically like "Oh naw I can't die yet"

@@CobaltZ_hans I'm well aware. his family was the only reason he kept fighting ❤️

that was cringe

Why not?

@@mementomori6534 because it is an overdramatisation, even spreading missinformation

It looks like an album cover

He kinda jumped out of the flames more than walked out lol

@@stormy3600 still badass tho

just kinda?

- Grosjean himself, his determination, fitness, ability to stay conscious and calm. If it was other driver in this crash, same car, same clothes, but the outcome could have been very different.

God

A "Bit" of Luck 😅

God

Oh come on, he didn’t survive because of any divine intervention. Unbelievable the halo wasn’t invented earlier. That thing would have saved so many lives.

Crashing in about 192 km/h, 62G in seconds, then walked from flame of fire. It is reasonable to think he was dead. Shout-out to Jules Bianchi, his death saved Grosjean.

No, I believe that this is a situation of, it was filmed and still no one believed it. He survived insurmountable odds and *walked* away from it, he insisted on walking, to show everyone he was alright, that crash into the barrier was deadly, the fireball was deadly, the fact that his fire resistant suit held up to that is beyond amazing. I don't know if there is a god, but I feel like i have to say, his survival here is an act of god, wasn't his time to go.

They wouldn’t have believed the extremity and length of it. Humans need to see images for full context or they either crazily under or over estimate what has happened.

Funny. It makes me roll my eyes

Watched live to hold my breath for that one, thought i just watche a man dying to, glad he got out

What a wetty

Come on don t thanks "god" ore wathever he was saved by his suit the halo his bravery and an enourmous amount of Luck..... Anyway if you thanks god for that you should be angry at him for throwing Grosjean to that barreer.

I like how the last guy summed up the reason on how: "its an act of God"

Do the driver dead?🙄

Fuck!

He’s in Indycar though

Romain was pretty fire back in Lotus days

@@WifeMeUp you could say he smashed all expectations of the teams he was on.

I wouldn't say glory considering the crash was his fault, but yeah his career ended is a pretty spectacular moment

They applauded him

When he came out the other drivers were still on track. Luckily the whole thing lasted less than half a minute I believe

when he came out, the other drivers were still driving u dumbass

@@DasKloputzer the guys that were in the station with the radio...you moronic fuck!

This is edited very poorly he was out before they got back in the pit lane. In fact in some of the shots you can actually see him sitting behind the safety car. This was amazing enough that he survived they didn’t need to make it seem like he was in the fire for minutes.

You are correct. I failed to realize that.

I love halo man in belgian 2018 leclerc would died but halo was introduced same thing with grosjean

@@ytthekinggamingkanal3969 tyre hitting head in a crash doesn't kill you, happened 1996, tyre hit other driver's head when he went over the car. Hi's head smacked side to side when the tyre hit hi's head but he walked away. Helmet cracked open like an egg though.

@@Vvopat96 bit halo is good man so yeah

@@ytthekinggamingkanal3969 it's good but leclerc would have been fine

me too..110%

Me too, the crash looked really bad, it take a crazy amount of force to shear in half a F1 car. And while barriers are made to deform, that amount of twisted metal still is surprising. Combine with the huge fireball, I thought "he may have survive the crash, but that fire, that fire is gonna cook him in seconds"

I think we all did, thank God he walked out alive

Agreed. This crash was so much more dangerous looking than Jules Bianchi's but the dude survived is a massive miracle.

Thanks to the halo

He really is

@@pokemonassociate2238 He looked upset about it 6:01 then he decided to pretend he was hurt limping😁

From fantastic four 🔥

@@TronFN r/woooosh

i believe he said he blacked out for a second. how scary! imagine just two seconds more, the fire would've burned right through his suit

@@mistyminnie5922 and this is why I believe this is why these suits are used for racing, if he were in normal clothes he’d be dead

@@mistyminnie5922 Racing suits are incredibly sophisticated now - in fact, he was only burned on his hands. The suits need to withstand a direct 1000°C flame for 12 seconds with no melting or holes. Grosjean's suit actually stood up for much longer.

@@GaryKemp84 That’s incredible

@@GaryKemp84 Sadly, people who say that's a miracle are literally insulting the decade of engineers who developed those technologies.

Yeah

Ask the motorcycle racers.....No gear = death. Today's technology is absolutely amazing.

@@sebastianiji true, and they said the 'halo' looks ugly and unnecessary 😂

Alpinestar

Must of been firetrap sorry couldn’t resist lol 😂

Same as Alonso in 2016. "I got out because my mum will be watching TV and I don't want to worry her". Drivers regularly get tested the 7 sec test. They have to get out of the car within 7 seconds.

Total respect…truly shows what kind of a (family) man he is.

@@rumblefish9 It's not always the case with other drivers. Zhou had no injuries but still accepted to be transported on strechers, Schumacher in Jeddah or Sainz in Sochi 2015. All those drivers were released from the medical center immediately after the race without a scratch while Grosjean spent a week in a hospital with severe injuries on his hands and foot.

@@ronaldrenegade8519 what’s his driving ability, or lack there of, have to do with it? It’s about the severity of the crash and the fact that he climbed out of a burning fireball.

They (the drivers) are all incredible my man...

Hey! A fellow Panther / F1 fan! A first for me.

Same

@@scully2671 The saying "It's a miracle" doesn't just have religious or divine implications, you know? The miracle is that human's have been able to invent and understand technology in such a way that allows somebody to survive this, it doesn't just mean "God did it".

@@scully2671 Miracle in this case means an incredible amount of luck he had. He wasn't completely stuck by the barrier above, his foot wasnt completely blocked by the pedal, he kept consciousness after 67G impact, the remnants of barrier didnt penetrated the cockpit and hurt him as in was in case of Kubica crash in 2011 etc etc

@@motorsportfan679 Kubica's crash was in a rally car, F1 cars survival cell cannot be penetrated by a barrier like that.

Sure they had some kind of training for crashes i gues... but you think they get crash training with fires this big..? I dont think so man.

@@Dragonator92 No, but a normal person wouldn’t stay conscious after the impact. Hence wouldn’t be able to proceed exiting the vehicle

@@Andrew98123 But he looked like he just got his toe bruised, walking calmly to the ambulance😎 and not like someone who was in a fireball for a half minute after an impact that rip his car in half.

I've never been a big fan of his but FUCK ME that just changed.

Or maybe credit to his Creator would be a better way to write. The only reason he did survive was that his time was simply not up.

@The Gospel Heralds Ministries No it was god that sent him into that wall to punish him, unfortunatelt the devil is on Grosjean side and saved him

@@carlozottini3089 due Leoni e 20s per spegnere tutto, con Berger privo di sensi e costole rotte. Intervento leggendario da parte della CEA Squadra Corse💪🏻. Fiero di aver lavorato al loro fianco.

That's because his hair was well protected by the helmet + balaclava under it. If he spent 5-10 secondes more in this fire he could have some burns on his neck, lungs or even face which is mostly protected only by helmet but still have his hair intact cause of double protection. Anyway I think the hair on the back of his burnt hands is gone ...

Kudos to the engineers who designed the gear your mean

He has significant burn scarring on one or both of his hands as a result of this crash.

The big risk there was smoke inhalation, where superhot gases damage the lungs…. Which is what happened to Lauda….

God is the gear

Yes

What makes this more sad is that he thought that he killed his own racing teammate.

He gets some crap for being a bit of a reckless driver sometimes but he’s always been known as one of the nicest guys on the grid right up there with seb.

He's got his first pole let's see what happens now

Watching him in IndyCar has been entertaining as hell. Probably one of my favorite moments so far was watching him pull that ballsy move on Jimmie Johnson while going into the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca. I can’t wait to see how he’ll do with Andretti next year.
