Bahrain 2020 really showed us all the importance of the medical car, and we are now all so grateful that it exists
Don't forget about the halo
and the halo as well, both critical on saving lives
@@reggiemanoussakis775 yeah, we are all grateful the halo exists as well, this is like the third or fourth time it’s shown why it was introduced
That is what the video was about. What an original and thoughtful comment 👏
@@citrous you must be fun at party's
Dont forget them:
Dr Ian Roberts and Alan Van Der Merwe
Not only them all of the other people before them
Lets never forget Sid Watkins. One of the massive names involved in safety improvements
And don't forget the track marshals who put their lives at risk voluntarily.
@@ColeT_43 One Question:
Is the Watkins Glen named after him?
@@DiveEntertainment47 no
These guys are the real stars on track
When an accident happens yes
When there’s An crash
no they're not. they just held his hand. wake up
@@herewegoagain7403 i think you should re watch the crash and be glad romain is alive they play a critical role dont deny it
@@herewegoagain7403 You comment is a joke
1:12 the fire marshal still doing the right thing and asking the marshals for permission to cross the track. It is important in these moments not to panic and forget some important safety tips.
But the cars were past by then and the red flag had come out
@@Admm744 You are still not allowed to step on the track without permission from the respective person who is responsible for that sector. It a safety precaution that was not followed later in the race when a firemarshal almost got ran over when Perez stopped
my untrained eye missed that.
@@Admm744 Paramedic and volounteer first aider at race track here.
During our pre-weekend briefing (in case of F1 or MotoGP) track director ALWAYS pin point personal safety FIRST, meaning we need the sector marshall's clearence before crossing the track.
If the marshall says no, it's NO.
Pryce and Van Vuuren incident was a macabre reminder.
@@oliviero46 Would I be correct in comparing this to how in commercial flights, they always tell you to put your OWN oxygen mask on first before trying to assist a companion in an emergency? You need to ensure your own safety first because:
1) You would be unable to help out if you get harmed as well
2) You don't want to increase the number of people who need help
Anyway, much respect to the great work that people like you do!
The fact that these guys think about and train for the worse case scenario is another reason why they are the best at what they do and these guys are the real heroes!!
A sign of expertise is not doing something perfectly, but rather doing something when the situation is not at its most optimal. The fact that they imagine a situation that only have around 1% chance of happening shows that these guys are the absolute best at what they're doing.
@@kami_narisama Agree
Also the Marshalls man don't forget them
I had no idea they had live biometrics in the gloves. That's incredible.
Thank you medical boys, true heroes!
Roberts and Van der Merwe actually set up their own company to develop it.
They also have it in their earpieces
NASA astronauts had biometrics on them in the 60's and they were in space.
what is biometric?
@@lupazuioi6155 Bunch of info like pulse rate
This will be part of F1 history like Senna's accident, miraculously with a happy ending this time.
I still shed a tear remembering watching that crash live on TV back in 1994, I was 18. A freakin wheelbase pierced his helmet.
@@NotPryda It didn't "pierce" his helmet, it just struck it. There was no blood or even broken bones.
@@ross-carlson there was tons of blood...
@@ross-carlson Then how did he die?
It's more like Niki Laudas accident
So happy that Romain is still with us
These guys were the best moment of the year
@David Lošťák no
and Lewis winning and Lewis being DWC
@David Lošťák they just saved grosjean idc about a podium maybe sebs podium is the 1st for you but i think the way ''ferrari's masterplan'' does. Edit: i respect your guys opinions.
❤️💥
@@iemv8900 Sadly, the car could have done that itself. Still not a bad driver thats for sure.
Real hero's don't wear fancy metal suits or throw around hammer's.......
They save real lives ❤️
We salute you 👍
When I see that crash I still cannot believe it
I see a replay and think it’s someone who has bad connection in iracing
It doesn’t look real
Prof. Sid Watkins is smiling from up there knowing his legacy lives on and he have a worthy successor in Dr. Ian Roberts
Yes
That Marshall with his extinguisher skills. Respect
Pilot of the year :
Hamilton : no
Verstappen : no
Vettel : no
Van der merwe : yes
They're drivers, not pilots.
@Michael Gia Huy Nguyen No, they're F1 Drivers and I have never heard it any other way.
Pilots FLY. In planes, meant to fly. F1 cars sometimes fly but is not their intrinsic purpose. Pilot is used in many languages for a driver, but not in english.
Motorcyclists are motorcycle riders, not drivers.
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 niki lauda even had his own airline 😂
Paul Freedman It comes from the Italian commentary, where the term used is pilot, and with the Tifosi being so influential within F1s following it spreads outside of Italy fairly regularly
@@justjulian872 📉
Alan van der Merwe is actually fastest ever driver in an F1 car when he took the 2005 Honda to 431 Km/h in Mojave dessert. His official record is 397 km/h in bonneville though as it meet 2 run opposite distance requirement.
I want to see him do it the proper way, in a 1932 Ford.
The weekend we will never forget.
we all love and praise the amazing and quick thinking medical team.
For saving Romain Grosjean's life
Romain saved Romain. let's not get this twisted here
@@herewegoagain7403 why posting negative comments in everyone’s post ?
@@wrmo1610 if the truth is considered negative comments...i suggest you get thicker skin mate
@@herewegoagain7403 The truth is you like ur own comments
@@bk-rl6367 ?? LOL don't push your experiences onto me bud
Can’t we vote on the medical car as driver of the day?
This option is compulsory. Fully agree.
I remember watching that race live and how awestruck I was was I saw the flames. Will never forget that, and a massive thank you to the hero’s who went into the flames to get Romain out of there.🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿
Thank you to Ian Roberts, Alan van der Merwe, the marshal running across the track with the fire extinguisher, and every person who has been involved with all the safety measures that F1 has, every one of these guys are literal life savers
I’m glad these two are getting the attention and credit they deserve, it’s just unfortunate we need circumstances like this for the work to be appreciated.
A Formula One start in the view of the Medical Car would be cool, like an onboard thing
cant forget the guy who ran across the track and knew exactly what to do! all three of them did amazing.
Don't forget the marshal that crossed the track with the first extinguisher. He did more than anyone to help Grosjean get out.
Ali Taher
I always find those guys interesting because as a motorsport official, we are always told never to cross track until red flag and all vehicles stopped, including our fire rescue teams
@@liammeyerphotography8974 it looked like he asked for permission to cross beforehand
@@liammeyerphotography8974 i wouldn't waste time for asking permission - someone's life is at risk and every second matter.
@@tsar2057 There's literally a video of a marshal getting hit by a car by doing exactly this (which killed him instantly, as well as the driver of the F1 car that hit him...) so perhaps maybe the rule exists for a reason.
Thank you Medical Car for saving Grosjean.
For TRYING to save him.
@@motorsportfan679 That makes it sound like he died
@@krishnashankar2675 I know
@@krishnashankar2675 I dont undestand why this video is so optimistic. Romain did 100% of job saving himself. If Romain woudnt be able to get out from the car and jump (unconscient/broken legs/trapped/in panic) he will be burnt alive, nobody could help him in a raisonable time
@@motorsportfan679 You don't need to spam every comment with that. Sure, he got himself out, but the fire extinguishers used by marshals as well as the driver *of the medical car* definitely did their bit. His burns could have been so much worse, who knows? The doctor was also instrumental in calming him down and performing whatever first aid was necessary (don't know if there was much in this case). The current safety features in modern F1 cars do a lot to try and prevent the situations of unconsciousness, fractures, and getting trapped which you mentioned, and all F1 drivers today are trained heavily in escaping in this manner which will prevent them from panicking and allow instinct to kick in. Maybe this video does overstate the role of the medical car *in this case* (his own quick action and features like the halo, fireproof suit, etc. were arguably more important), but whatever the medical car did contributed for sure, and this was a reminder of its importance. Who knows, in another situation it may turn out to be even more important
The only thing I know that's in the car is 2 heroes
and a fire extinguisher!
@@motorsportfan679 cause he drove the medical car, and did help, but not the one in the most dangerous position
The amount of kit and other equipment inside that "high-speed ambulance" is crazy. Respect to Alan van der Merve and the previous medical car drivers who have to manhandle that beast around a racetrack just so the doctor could get to the accident as quickly as possible.
No, the amount of equipment is not crazy. In Germany, each car of an emergency doctor looks like this.
The UK also has a rapid response vehicle for major interventions as well.
Every question I had about the medical car was answered in this video lol
this never gets any easier to watch...
This car+HALO+Safety car+Firesuits= nobody dies
Knock on wood
i'm so sorry Grosjean had to go through this massive trauma -- but the lessons learned from his accident have been incredible for understanding current and future safety. the fact that he only *just* went through it, and suffered only minor injuries relative to the severity of the crash are a testament to the research, professionalism and dedication across the entire F1 structure
Agree.
11 years*
fire extinguisher: my time has come
Just tears in my eyes, these people are so important we can never forget them!
Agree. The halo got all the credit for this and while it did a lot, They’re many other thing, that are the result of 70+ years of progress in safety that contributed just as much if not more to keep Roman okay
To everyone who has ever been involved in driver (and marshall, crowd, team... Anyone connected to racing) safety, if you've ever wondered if your part actually has saved a life, this is proof. Every incremental improvement ever made built up to this point.
I'm sure there are hundreds of drivers who have lived through accidents that would have killed or severely injured them pre- the numerous changes, but Grosjean's accident is like the ultimate demonstration of how it's all come together.
And for your part, whatever it has been, you have the eternal gratitude of every petrolhead out there. Thank you ♥️
The best car on the grid, thank you for your service to all motorsport
Still a Mercedes. Those guys have to always dominate everything xD
@@KimiButNoDrink for 12 of the 23 rounds, Mercedes get the other 11. Aston also get to choose which weekends they run their cars in too
Truly incredible stuff and the last clip seeing Romain well and hugging everyone was so heart warming and emotional. Bahrain 2020 will never be forgotten
Loving the content recently, really insightful
There would be no f1 without these guys. Awesome blokes 👌
Weeks after and I still get a shock.
I cried that day and realized how impactful F1 is on my life
Grojean simply respawn out of the car... incredible
Romain desreves to test a Merc When he has recoverd fully
Why
Listen... I know his crash was tragic but you cant just hand out tests out of pity.
Dude, the fact that he had an horrible, doesn't mean than he is Ayrton Senna now.
He's still the same driver that we used to make jokes about his crashes and driving.
It's so weird how the people just started to love him and overrate him more just because of the crash.
Nothing changed.
i thought toto said he could do that
@@3DWorldMan no Toto I think was talking about George russel
True HEROES. Forever grateful they're there, always prepared, ready for everything.
Thank you very much for your efforts each race weekends.....
Wow who would of thought biometrics from the drivers gloves! That's awesome and just 1 of many reasons F1 is the greatest and most innovative sport in the world
Biometrics are very important in safety and innovation. It's amazing that we can take tips from nature and put it into amazing things.
These Guys are underrated. The Fireman was at the right place at right time...
One of the best moment of the season incredible work
Between these guys and Dr John Hinds on the motorcycle side of things, the science of trauma management has come a very very long way! Hats off, Gentlemen! Cheers from Canada.
F1 please enable auto subtitles, it takes a few clicks, but helps immensely
Thanks for all your services Medical boys
The heroes the pilots need for their races, Thank you very much for what you do.
Here after medical car won spa 2021
All guys on the scene knew what the do in this extreme situation. You are the heroes of the season, respect!
Fantastic reactions from the fire and medical teams, true hero's.
Daniel Riccardo: F1 needs to stop milking Grossjean's crash
F1: how about... NO??
Who ever disliked this needs to have a real think
100% agree!
Bots.
you are the unsung heroes of f1, thank you guys!
Thanks for your job. We all need you.
Realy big thank you to everyone, so we can have a nice weekend, sitting home and can see an save F1 race
So high-tech, really impressive! Great job guys
amazing work guys. keep it up!
The medical car looks amazing
This is the content we want
It would be a dream come true if I could one day do what these guys do! Thank you for inspiring me to always do my best! 🏆
these two guys deserve some sort of award. Reward these two heroes!
This Video was really nice. Please more...
This is an amazing work!
4:45 That biometrics tracking is amazing...
SP02, Pulse and Motion. Very crucial information for the medical car!
Happy to see that the implementation of FIA's BioTech in driver's gloves in action.
This is one of the first events that has created a massive effect and investigation on f1s safety, bit thanks to all the improvements made after previous accidents we can be glad this one had a happy ending.
Dr Ian Roberts and Alan Van Der Merwe = Angels
You can see what commitment to safety means in 2020. Respect for these guys and drivers.
Best crew in F1, a championship win for them is saving a life, bless them.
Gracias por cuidar a nuestros pilotos. Muchas felicidades! Son muy importantes.
One of them did a great job helping putting out the fire.
F1 should do a video on the history of the Medical Car like they did for the Safety Car.
Would of been cool if these had been the previous Medical cars:
▪︎280TE Wagon (S123; 1980 to 1984)
▪︎325i Wagon (E30; 1985 & 1986)
▪︎300TE Wagon (S124; 1987 to 1991)
▪︎540i Wagon (E34; 1992 & 1993)
▪︎M5 Wagon (E34; 1994 & 1995)
Those images from Romain's crash will be burned in my memory forever. Can only imagine what it was like for him and his family.
Wonderful people.
Thank heavens - and the Halo, the fire suit, gloves, shoes, et al - for conspiring to save Romain. ❤️🙏🏼
Real Heroes!!
THANK YOU!
thank you Dr. Ian and Alan Van Der Merwe 👏🤍🤍
Huge respect for those guys
The bravest people are either in the background, or underspoken. Clearly demonstrated here, displayed by all involved!
Very glad to see these guys are ready to protect our drivers. Thank you.
Thank you F1 medical car team. Because of you, all racers become more safe to join the race. Thank you.
Shoutout to f1 for providing a car at every race weekend around the world ready and raring to go with all the gear. Driver of the day this guy.
We need these heroes
despite all the safety innovations over the past years, these guys are still the most important on the track.
The amazing work by F1 researchers beginners and the science community… Dr Ian is right when he said that Romain’s rescue was the culmination of all that work
one hundred thousand hours training....for this moment !! Cheers Mate !!💪👍👍🤟
Speechless. The entire F1 team are responsible for saving lives. Awesome 👏👏👏👏😎🏁🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🚥
Thanks for the offseason Entertainment!
flames got very big so quickly. you can actually see romain trying to get out at 1:13 huge respect to the marshal going across track to help romain so fast. everthing went down and went back up at a blink of an eye
If it wasn’t for this car, Romain could have been in much worse condition
that crash was horrifying im glad that we still have grosjean here with us today 🙏
Heck. I didn't even know the drivers' gloves were equipped with biometric sensors. That's amazing!
I remember watching it live and be like 'ohw no I just watched someone die', and be so gratefull watching Grosjean walk away relatively well. Thanks for all involved saving that man's life 🙏
Great job by the fire fighter and the medical car team
I’m trying to think how they could of done this better and I can’t think of anything
I think there isn't enough credit given to the track marshalls who voluntarily risked their lives to go help fight that fire
See how as something happens everyone praises them. We should be thankful for them all the time
Thank you for your service
Big respect to all professionals. !
