awful knawful Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Romain Grosjean in a Haas. Halo saved his life. Car cut in two, hit barrier lap one, huge fireball. He got out himself, adrenaline, hopefully he's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awful knawful Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 20 seconds from impact till he got out. I'm thinking he'll have lung issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 on a purpose built race track who the fuck decided to put that wall there. i get when you converting city streets some odd safety walls but then the speeds usually down.

It isn't always the wall, in this instance, it is also the type of wall. The courses and cars are much safer then they were even a decade ago, thankfully. The ones I get miffed about are the short tracks with blatant safety issues they refuse to fix, either due to money or stubbornness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awful knawful Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 All things considered, Romain Grosjean was in surprisingly good spirits on Sunday night, filming a video from his hospital bed in Bahrain where he admitted he had changed his view of the halo safety device, saying it was “the greatest thing we brought to Formula 1” after it protected him in his dramatic crash at Sakhir. Grosjean made contact with Daniil Kvyat on the opening lap of the Bahrain Grand Prix, spearing him into the barriers just after Turn 3. Haas said the impact speed was 221kph before the logger stopped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
