Long Wheel Base Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Grosjean has been making a few errors for a while now, this one just had serious consequences. He is so damn lucky that, A, the cars are safer than volvos, B, he was still conscious enough to get out of there and C(this is the most NB one) there was a saffa following him and brave enough o help him out the fire. The front part of that car was literally melted in with the barrier after the fire. You see how they had to remove the barrier and cockpit all in one piece and how quickly and efficiently did those guys get that sorted. pdt33 1

Some would say the Saffa was Hasstig to get the race restarted too...... Vetplant and Long Wheel Base 2
MrJacques Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 I wonder if this would work for F1? Even though they say it's impact absorbing somehow the bouncing off this kind of barrier seems worse due to rapid changes in direction / g-force. A more traditional impact absorbing barrier that doesn't bounce you back may be better for direct head on collisions. Vetplant 1
Long Wheel Base Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 I saw that Jules Bianchi's Mom posted a message saying she is so glad that the halo, which was introduced due to her sons death, has saved a life. That must have been an emotional message for her. ADJ, Warthog whisperer, Patchelicious and 1 other 4
