Looks like all marshalls were out of the way

 

[Grayfox]

Holy crap, the car split in half

 

[Lateralus5813]

Holy ****, the car was cut in half. That explains the explosions

 

[PaMu1337]

How the hell is he alive

 

[phillgt2002]

Wonder what the investigation will reveal on what caused the tank to get damaged, the fuel tanks are made to resist being punctured

His car hit at a strange angle and speed. It's showing the car go through the barrier.

Who the **** puts barriers in that area??????

 

[andrea]

It’s wild anyone could survive that.. that’s horrific.

 

[BrainsBush]

wow that car split in two. Very lucky that Grosjean seems to have "only" a foot/leg injury

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Jesus, amazing to be able to walk away from that.

 

[Ether]

The Halo almost certainly saved his life.

 

[DQuaN]

That is some incredible damage to the barrier. That is going to take a long time to fix. Not sure if we'll restart.

 

[PzR Slim]

Worst crash I have seen in my 35 years of watching F1. How did he walk away from that?

 

[AudiMan2011]

That is by far the scariest impact I've ever seen

 

[PaMu1337]

Survival cell went straight through the guard rail. No way he would have survived without halo

 

[Skygrasper550]

Goddamn, that Haas car is just ripped in half, and charred a good bit scary as hell.

 

[numbnuts70]

Lucky man, through the barrier.

Take a while to repair that.

 

[Panoz]

There's no debate that the Halo saved Grosjean's life here.

 

[Grayfox]

Who the **** puts barriers in that area??????

The barrier that was sticking out protect the marshals.

 

[Jimlaad43]

He went through the barrier. ANYBODY who still thinks the Halo is a waste of time is an absolute idiot and deserves to be banned from this forum or something. Without the Halo, Romain would have been decapitated there.

 

[andrea]

Decapitation without the halo

 

[phillgt2002]

Holy ****. He was under the barrier, you could see the foam neck support jammed into the barrier itself.

 

[PzR Slim]

Not sure this race will restart looking at that barrier.

 

[Liquid]

That is... Un. Be. :censored:ing. Lievable.

 

[Lateralus5813]

It seems the front half of the car got stuck in the rail??

 

[PaMu1337]

It seems the front half of the car got stuck in the rail??

Nose went straight through, survival cell got stuck

 

[PzR Slim]

I wouldn’t think bad of any of the drivers if they said they didn’t want to drive.

 

[NotThePrez]

A fresh reminder of the danger of motorsports. It's been a while since I've seen an accident even remotely close to that level of insanity.

Grosjean literally went through what is effectivley a :censored:ing steel wall and lived to tell the tale. Honestly, thank God for the halo.

 

[numbnuts70]

Could be a cancellation.

 

[phillgt2002]

The barrier that was sticking out protect the marshals.

I can understand that, but it seems like awful spot, especially in a situation like this. Maybe they should take the angle away from the barrier and move it further back for more space?

 

[Liquid]

He went through the barrier. ANYBODY who still thinks the Halo is a waste of time is an absolute idiot and deserves to be banned from this forum or something. Without the Halo, Romain would have been decapitated there.

Dial it down, mate. Nobody's doubting that the halo saved his life.

 

[Lateralus5813]

I don’t think he’ll ever step into a race car again. I wouldn’t. That’s your second chance right there.
