Inside the Formula 1 Medical Car | A fascinating look at how F1 keeps drivers safe 🚑 

"If everything is going to plan there's no need for me to get out" He did, and by god are we all glad for it

Wow to think we would be here now after such a horrific crash praising it. Thank you so much saved Grosjeans life.

"Worlds fastest ambulance" love that..

It’s videos like these that make you truly realise how much work goes into putting these races on. I have so much respect for all parties involved in such a massive organisation.

Having a watch of this after Grosjeans horrific Bahrain 2020 crash. Great job by these two

When I first saw this I thought that these guys must be so bored because they never have to deploy but today they did and my word, they did an incredible job!

It is saddening to think that Dr. Kelvin Chew and Dr. Ian Roberts were likely in the medical centre, at Spa, doing all they could to keep Antoine from passing. I know doctors often deal with fatal injuries, and you can imagine that these guys have probably grown to love the sport whilst working for the FIA, but I give massive respect to them for being able to carry on doing their jobs after witnessing a casualty in something they’ll likely be passionate about. This, plus the fact that they’ll also have Juan Manuel Correa in the back of their minds, hoping that he can make a full recovery. RIP Antoine Hubert and get well soon Juan Manuel Correa. I’d like to say thank you to any and all medical staff who are always on hand to assist the drivers, so that we can all enjoy this wonderful sport.

The glove alone is most probably more than my yearly wage as a surveyor

total respect to these guys i was a track marshal for many years at motorbike racing and loved every minute

RU-vid recommendation brings me here. Well done Alan and Dr. Ian. You are true heroes!

*Safety Car Going At Full Speed* Lewis : Safety car needs to gO fAsTeR

finally RU-vid recommended at the right time

Someone is clearly a big fan of The Weeknd at sky sports XOTWOD

Anyone who's been to an F1 race in the hybrid era will know that the medical car is the best sounding car at the race. What a beast of a machine.

Biometric glove!? Holy smokes I had no idea! How cool and genius is that?! The glove must be transmitting vital information in real time, all the time which can be used to help keep the driver safe! Awesome!

The quick arrival and reaction was incredible at Bahrain on Sunday. Well done to first responders.

Videos such as these go underrated and unnoticed largely from what I can see. They really do provide another important view of the sport and shed light on areas that most dont see often. Thank you

For anyone wondering, the soft guitar music in the background is Shameless by The Weeknd

Wow I didnt see that f3 crash only heard about it... I don't understand when people complain about saftey regulations it's simply to keep the driver safe

Not a bad company car

You guys are hero's thank you all for saving my grandfather's life.

We need longer videos of stuff like this

We see so much happen in Formula One, and anything can happen. After seeing what happened to Grosjean on November 29th at the Bahrain Grand Prix and how fast the medical team reacted, they have earned much more respect, especially from me. I don't think we could ever thank them enough, not just for Grosjean's sake, but also for their dedication, teamwork and hard work to make F1 as safe as possible.

Valuable insight, thank you.

Best sounding car in the paddock

They should put a camera onboard the medical car to show the start from the back. In that way we also see the difference in acceleration between a fast car and an F1 car.

Thank you Alan and Ian for saving Grosjean’s life

The last time I saw this video, the teams were still arriving in Bahrain. That's weirdly a nice coincidence, I think... wanted to see who drives the Medical Car to keep the drivers safe, wasn't expecting to see it in action a few days later, but I'm glad that I saw it and know that it is there all the time... Ian Roberts and Alan Van de Merwe are true heroes.

Sorry I know this isn't the point of the video at all but an F1 car is a whole minute quicker than a E63s around Singapore?? that is mind boggling

Heroes don’t always wear capes🙏🏽❤️

I'd like to see an article about the F1 medical centre - the mobile hospital that moved to each circuit in the late '60s/early '70s. It used to park up in Hemingford Grey.

Great insight to track facilities, Far better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them. 👏👏 👏 👏 to those normally unnoticed life savers 👍

All I was listening to in all the weeknd songs on the background 👌

Sky sports F1 knocking it out of the park

Been in c63 amg they are rapid.

Everyone gangta till the 4 door wagon does a better qualifying lap than some gt4 cars

I think these insight pieces are absolutely brilliant. I would love to see what race control does/who they talk to during the race keeping things moving and racing. Thanks Martin for making this clip.

The worlds fastest ambulance? Man you ryl should take a look at the doctors of the Tourist Trophy

was watching the race live relieved grosjean was ok worst crash ive seen since dan wheldon .. nice to see who the doctor is under the helmet him and the marshalls running across the track legends & what a name for a Doctor lol Dr Chew 4:47

5:29 and here we have all the equipment to resuscitate the casualty that is gone and you can't see with your naked eyes

If you need a really fast rescue car: just put 'Mine Rescue' lettering and turn on the flashing lights on almost any car in a pit area in Yorkshire and the roads will empty in seconds.

thank you Dr. Ian and Alan~

Driving very fast to someone to help them is a dream

Whoever picked the Weeknd's shameless for the music. You're awesome

I would've liked to know what the car is equipped with rather than seeing it driving along an F1-track...

Love the in site you get from behind the Scenes can we have more please

Who else is here after Grosjean’s horrific crash?

Teams should spend an old Monocoque or the FIA should by one for training the Marshallteams around the tracks

Romain bought me here

Next year's (in reference to 2020) Vietnamese GP that never happened.

2:44 I guess Romain's crash wasn't 'going to plan'.

XO fans will understand this comment

Who picked shameless by the weeknd as the music?

That was cool to see what kind of care the driver receives if he's injured or even worse killed, It's literally a moving/mobile hospital.

They cannot use the C63 estate in North America since they do not sell there.

this is one sick medical car. so dress up for battle

There should be a couple of people with fire extinguishers in the back of that car

Hope for the best and be prepared for the worst

3:53 no James mays ambulance is the fastest

This is my fav car i love it so much!

The biometric glove is cool

More intersted in the Medical Cars than the F1 cars.

The days of the Gladiators are alive and well, in different forms......The thumbs go up or they go down.......invisible to the crowds and to the drivers.

If you guy wondering what song is this : shameless the weeknd instrumental Shamelessby The Weeknd : open.spotify.com/track/6C6fHTuFUxVtJpBOOaMvJr?si=d2jB_Kc9QJe114VRuMY08A Instrumental : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BOlVHv8K2l0.html

Awesome result with Grosjean...now look at them with awe

They should get a koeningsegg gemera as a medical car

It was Sid Watkins who brought those medical facilities

The only medical doctor who wears a race-suit while doing his job

Heroes

I feel so bad for the people who trained for the vietnam go while it never took place and never will be.

good video,keep it up

Great video :)

Who knew a year later they'd be at the forefront.

Why not a e63e estate?

Amazing ♥️🧡

Quick question what happens if the medical car crashes Quickly deploy the medi- oh uhh darn it

Anyone know the song that starts at beginning of the video?

Nice man

I think they should replace the medical car with E63s Estate！ That car is literally faster.

It’s an AMG C63

I wonder why the have the C63S, it's a great car, but wouldn't the E63S, or even maybe the GT 4 door be faster and thus more appropriate? Or maybe they put the 600+bhp engine in this one, but it's only 2WD, so it's going to be limited by traction... Also, a quick fact: Alan Van Der Merwe, the driver, is the fastest F1 pilot on the grid: he took a modified Honda-BAR F1 to more than 400 kph on the Bonneville salt flats. No other driver has had the opportunity to drive a car this fast, even in Le Mans.

Everyone is watching this after grosjean's crash

Soft guitar music during a scene from a noisy F1 paddock. Doesn't really fit 😅

They're could be better cars for a safety car tbh, the AMG mercs are quite skitty on track 😂

How will the car get out of the way in time for today's race?

At these speeds, the cars want to go airborne so they lower the carriage as close to the ground as they can and that can trigger disasters as it did for Senna. Maybe these exhibitions are not really necessary.......Where does the money go ? never enough to the drivers who risk their lives every time they race. The owners always win........

I want a medical car spec c63 S Estate. ☹️

Finally it paid off..

What Vietnam race?

Thank you all no medics ect no RACE

Anyone here after the grosjean crash

My friends Medical should be E63 S estate 700 and couple extra fire extinguishers!

come back to VietNam pls

Love

Why does F1 have a universal marshal and emergency response team like Indy car? Surely a specially built team would be better.

The weeknd

they need a GT63s

“The worlds fastest ambulance” ...... I think not...... #Delta7

I hope no one gets to use that hospital

how can i be a marshall? i speak english and spanish :c
