As far as I know, he got away with light burn injury on his hands and on his ankles. The suits, socks, shoes, gloves and balaclava they use are highly fire-resistant
I love how the drivers can compete on the track but still care so much for eachother
Again, so wholesome
Edit: i messed up the title, it is in fact not a funny dramatic crash, but i do not know how to change it :-(
lespritdelescargot
Never seen the Hamilton / Smith skit. I lol'd at Hamilton's "You better win!" at Will's retreating back.

Very fire resistant? Uh that nomex suit would be untouched even if your bones were vaporized inside it.
Norwegurian
Yeah, i would call that very fire resistant wouldnt you?

As someone who works at Scuderia F1, thank you for bringing work home!
KoalaPommy
Not often I see F1 on here, always gets my upvote. Can't believe Romian walked away from that crash.
errrikblack
I haven't any idea what any of this means but I like it. More please

If it looks interesting you should check out the Formula 1 documentary series on Netflix "Drive to Survive" its what got me hooked :-)
LookaSquirrelbus
Absolutely loved that documentary! You will not regret watching it

#17 So wholesome! I love this.

Almost 20 years ago Ferrari had a V10 that hit 19k rpm. Better sounding at track. https://youtu.be/RqaJKTRs-Kg

If you’re not familiar with F1, highly recommend “Drive To Survive” on Netflix. I was hooked after 1 episode.
Norwegurian
Same! The 2020 season on Netflix is gonna be a real treat, so much have happened this season

And some people say this season has been boring. It has been brilliant!
Norwegurian
Fun races, boring championship
moltencorgi
For those who don’t know, lando streams on twitch now
Excludos
"now"? He's been doing that for years mate :)
Norwegurian
Maybe he was actually streaming when @moltencorgi commented, as in "Lando is streaming RIGHT NOW"
Excludos
Ah. Righto. I guess that's true
Cole2999
For those that don't understand the first few, yesterday Grosjean was sitting in the center of a petrol fire for 18 seconds before he could
Cole2999
Escape. The "halo" was a controversial safety device introduced a few years back and without it he would have died instantly
Cole2999
In fact without any number of safety measures he would have died. 18s in a petrol fire, and the worst is some burned hands? Fire suit ftw
Cole2999
Also of note: the reason it was controversial was because it "detracts from the looks" so take "controversy" as you will.
whooptydoo
I definitely feel like that crash was romains fault. He cut into george not the other way round
NoYOUtheName
It was Kvyat not GR. Agreed it's his fault. He would have been slated were it not for the crash. Astonishing that he was able to walk away.
whooptydoo
It is incredible, but not surprising. F1 went from 94 to 2014 with no fatalities. For 20 200mph go carts racing wheel to wheel f1 is
whooptydoo
Remarkably safe.

In the dictionary under "Raging Shitlord Fuckwad" it says "See Verstappen".
Skizzlesnap
I love F1 but I honestly can’t wait for the new rules to start. Lewis Hamilton is great but Merc and his dominance make for boring races.
Norwegurian
Nah the races are fun, alot of focus is on who is battling for 4th, 5th etc.. really good races, but boring championship
Skizzlesnap
But that’s where the focus is because the podium is so split and way out front.
Norwegurian
Yea but it is still entertaining fights, will be good to get new rules in 2022 tho, even the field a little bit
Skizzlesnap
It needed to happen. Merc is spending way more than the majority of the field, especially with some of the small teams.
Norwegurian
Its gonna be exciting to see how things change and turn out for sure
duckslikedickslikeduckslikeme
I think the price cap is the biggest one I want to see.
justanotherimgurianbidenhistime
OP, you should have posted Bahrain 2018 where Kimi ran over the pit crew member's leg.
majohnso
How Grojean managed to walk away from that, albeit a little crispy, is nothing short of a miracle.
GiantSchnitzel
it´s european engineering
asdasdfdsa
What these videos don't show that it took him almost 25 seconds to get clear of the flames. Lucky guy.
AdrianMole
In the flames he saw Roger Williamson waving at him.
azgrak
12 years since there’s been a fire from a crash.
Fraggleish
The Halo, the HANS device, firesuits, the well drilled marshalls & driver...lots of factors that without one of them it'd likely be fatal
Nurich
Also a bit of luck he didn't get unconscious through the impact
Fraggleish
Absolutely. Why I mentioned HANS, it possibly played a big part in that, but even with it he could have passed out at that force.
uslydog
some call it miracle. some call it engineering.
EmsTekTube
A true testament to the Halo they recently implemented. Had this happened a few years ago the outcome might not have been the same
ijustwonamathdebate
Please excuse my ignorance, what is this hello your talking about?

Trimule
Saw a picture of the railing after the fire was out and you can clearly see the indent of the halo -without it, his head was gone!
brutalwookie
Romain was initially against it, but he says it saved his life. Very lucky man

I request a wholesome Riccardo dump

So, a normal Ricciardo dump then...
OurLordandSaviorSkeletor
We need more of these exchanges in our F1 content. I honestly don't remember ever hearing anything like this in my casual watching.
DaveNI
Thankfully Grosjean was taking the Netflix series title 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive' seriously.
JustJohnny2021
Follow the F1 channel on YouTube. They the source of most if the content youh see here. Great stuff every week like best on board radios
duramater1
F1 app. They always have “best of team radio”
Klojum
Verstappen has his moments too. This last Bahrain race he went "My car is bouncing like a kangaroo!"
Norwegurian
Yea he really has his moments, perhaps the only one who can challenge Mercedes even tho they have far faster cars
dstatistics
Check out Drive to Survive on netflix. I didn't give two fucks about F1, and I live in a grand prix host citym Now I'm hooked.
Norwegurian
Ooh there is so many funny videos from the team radios that we dont get to see during the race, lots of them on YouTube
DoYouWantAntsBecauseThatsHowYouGetAnts
I would be much more interested in racing with this commentary
cirtap
Formula One's YouTube channel is amazing.
SnowpersonHitInTheFaceWithALackOfCreativity
Occasionally they'll even add whole races! Tops
TheFrin
They've really turned their online game around since Ross Braun became the MD of F1.

Kimis are always legendary

Basically anything Raikkonen is involved in is pure gold. At least from the ones I've heard.

Lando has been a treasure to f1. This new generation is awesome.
Bex316
Lando and Daniel next year is gonna be comedy gold!
ThePolarMole
They will, and with a Merc engine, hopefully be a formidable team. Checos situation is just sad though:(
Norwegurian
What are the news about him? Did he get a seat somewhere?
duckslikedickslikeduckslikeme
No seat unless we see Albon moved to Alpha Tauri.
Norwegurian
Got some good news for you pal
