"If everything is going to plan there's no need for me to get out"
He did, and by god are we all glad for it
My exact thoughts too - hindsight is amazing
Boy did he get out of the car though. What a legend
Actually was Dr. Ian who went into the flames to pull Grossjean out.
Legend!!
@@gabrielhuber1 True, but Van der Merwe did go after him with an extinguisher. Good job too, Dr Ians suit got charred in the incident!
@@gabrielhuber1 van der merwe was battling the flames so they could extract grosjean. They executed their job to perfection
Wow to think we would be here now after such a horrific crash praising it. Thank you so much saved Grosjeans life.
The doctor and driver was who saved him he got out him self shows how much they are trained
Good to see I'm not the only person who landed here after what happened.
Matthew lay, don't get me wrong they are indispensable people, But Grosjean saved himself.
Das ist etwas was ich mir sofort kaufen würde schon allein die Optik

I'm impressed how fast they were there though Grosjean thankfully pretty much got out by himself. But I think the doctor guiding him out was important too even if I don't know if it made much difference and of course getting his burns taken care of as fast as possible. Makes me wonder what they would have done if he had been unconscious or stuck, though good we didn't have to find out.
"Worlds fastest ambulance" love that..
I'm reminded of the late Dr John Hinds who worked for the rapid response team in Irish motorcycle road racing. Sadly he died doing his job a couple of weeks after presenting this talk to fellow citical care medics. th-cam.com/video/ocHeJG5o8N0/w-d-xo.html
On land, maybe. I’m certain the various aircraft I flew on as a RAF Flight Medic were rather faster. . .
John Hinds was a legend in pre-hospital care in Northern Ireland. There are more of his presentations elsewhere on YT.
Concerned ‘Various aircraft’ includes fixed-wing. Much faster than helos (and F1 cars).
Helicopters and planes
These guys have got nothing on Dr John hinds.. aka the flying doctor
It’s videos like these that make you truly realise how much work goes into putting these races on. I have so much respect for all parties involved in such a massive organisation.
id expect nothing less with the amount of money being thrown about
99oo
for the money they make doing this i would not have a problem working like this
The glove alone is most probably more than my yearly wage as a surveyor
When I first saw this I thought that these guys must be so bored because they never have to deploy but today they did and my word, they did an incredible job!
They have been very busy in 2020 remember turkey
They are working on F3 F2 and potential GT race on the track. They are FIA cars not just for F1
Having a watch of this after Grosjeans horrific Bahrain 2020 crash. Great job by these two
Besides that second fire extinguisher guy who stayed away like he has some phobias
I don't care
It is saddening to think that Dr. Kelvin Chew and Dr. Ian Roberts were likely in the medical centre, at Spa, doing all they could to keep Antoine from passing. I know doctors often deal with fatal injuries, and you can imagine that these guys have probably grown to love the sport whilst working for the FIA, but I give massive respect to them for being able to carry on doing their jobs after witnessing a casualty in something they’ll likely be passionate about. This, plus the fact that they’ll also have Juan Manuel Correa in the back of their minds, hoping that he can make a full recovery. RIP Antoine Hubert and get well soon Juan Manuel Correa. I’d like to say thank you to any and all medical staff who are always on hand to assist the drivers, so that we can all enjoy this wonderful sport.
I'm just a casual fan. May I ask what exactly happened?
@@Thawhid There are many videos showing what happened. But F2 driver Hubert died at Spa, while Correa who had hit his car suffered serious injuries that are still threatening his life right now. Hubert took avoiding action at the top of Eau Rouge, he hit the barrier and the car bounced back out of the barrier. Correa was also trying to avoid cars went off track to avoid an accident, but hit Hubert side-on causing the death of Hubert and the serious leg and spine injuries to Correa
Dr Kelvin Chew wouldn't have been, he's the local Singapore doctor.
It's creepy to think that men like Anthoine Hubert, Ayrton Senna, Roland Ratzenburger, amongst many other F1 drivers, would've lost their lives in a place just like this. Mere minutes before, doing what they love. I imagine the young Billy Monger had a similar experience.
Cubejam no Dr kelvin chew is the chief medical officer of F1 he’s at every race and is in charge of anything medical related in F1,2 and 3
*Safety Car Going At Full Speed*
Lewis : Safety car needs to gO fAsTeR
Saftey cars in front of bottas:
Valteri its james,i need you to stay behind the saftey car for the team
Burnard this James
total respect to these guys i was a track marshal for many years at motorbike racing and loved every minute
finally TH-cam recommended at the right time
TH-cam recommendation brings me here. Well done Alan and Dr. Ian. You are true heroes!
Someone is clearly a big fan of The Weeknd at sky sports
XOTWOD
Shameless & lost in the fire ☺️
Haha I was hoping someone would point it out!
Ikr😂😂💯👌
Was just looking for an XO comment
Videos such as these go underrated and unnoticed largely from what I can see. They really do provide another important view of the sport and shed light on areas that most dont see often. Thank you
The quick arrival and reaction was incredible at Bahrain on Sunday. Well done to first responders.
Not a bad company car
Loool
Anyone who's been to an F1 race in the hybrid era will know that the medical car is the best sounding car at the race. What a beast of a machine.
Not really
Cookiey 197 yes really
AMG V8 FTW. Enjoy it while it lasts....
You guys are hero's thank you all for saving my grandfather's life.
Biometric glove!? Holy smokes I had no idea! How cool and genius is that?! The glove must be transmitting vital information in real time, all the time which can be used to help keep the driver safe! Awesome!
since last year or so.
To read pulse mainly
Thank you Alan and Ian for saving Grosjean’s life
What they did was amazing, but really Grosjean saved his own life. But they did reduce the amount of burns he would get.
For anyone wondering, the soft guitar music in the background is Shameless by The Weeknd
And second song is also lost In the fire by the weeknd
Best sounding car in the paddock
They should put a camera onboard the medical car to show the start from the back. In that way we also see the difference in acceleration between a fast car and an F1 car.
We see so much happen in Formula One, and anything can happen. After seeing what happened to Grosjean on November 29th at the Bahrain Grand Prix and how fast the medical team reacted, they have earned much more respect, especially from me. I don't think we could ever thank them enough, not just for Grosjean's sake, but also for their dedication, teamwork and hard work to make F1 as safe as possible.
We need longer videos of stuff like this
Nice to see you here 🤣🤣🦢🦢
Valuable insight, thank you.
Wow I didnt see that f3 crash only heard about it... I don't understand when people complain about saftey regulations it's simply to keep the driver safe
That f3 crash was caused by the fia it was 100000% avoidable without stupid kerbs. If he died it would’ve been on there hands
@@russell6075 I'm not saying they cant do more just that I disagree with people fussing about saftey regulations
The last time I saw this video, the teams were still arriving in Bahrain. That's weirdly a nice coincidence, I think... wanted to see who drives the Medical Car to keep the drivers safe, wasn't expecting to see it in action a few days later, but I'm glad that I saw it and know that it is there all the time... Ian Roberts and Alan Van de Merwe are true heroes.
Love the in site you get from behind the Scenes can we have more please
Sorry I know this isn't the point of the video at all but an F1 car is a whole minute quicker than a E63s around Singapore?? that is mind boggling
S class :)
It’s a c63s
2:06 is the timestamo
I'd like to see an article about the F1 medical centre - the mobile hospital that moved to each circuit in the late '60s/early '70s. It used to park up in Hemingford Grey.
Great insight to track facilities, Far better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them. 👏👏 👏 👏 to those normally unnoticed life savers 👍
Sky sports F1 knocking it out of the park
thank you Dr. Ian and Alan~
All I was listening to in all the weeknd songs on the background 👌
5:29 and here we have all the equipment to resuscitate the casualty that is gone and you can't see with your naked eyes
Driving very fast to someone to help them is a dream
The worlds fastest ambulance? Man you ryl should take a look at the doctors of the Tourist Trophy
Who else is here after Grosjean’s horrific crash?
I am.
Heroes don’t always wear capes🙏🏽❤️
like never?
@@emmata98 ikr!
Everyone gangta till the 4 door wagon does a better qualifying lap than some gt4 cars
This is my fav car i love it so much!
good video,keep it up
Great video :)
Been in c63 amg they are rapid.
I think these insight pieces are absolutely brilliant. I would love to see what race control does/who they talk to during the race keeping things moving and racing. Thanks Martin for making this clip.
Stuart Ross I agree it would be great to see what happens during a race inside Race Control. However I suspect that in the event of a major incident, the FIA need to keep control of what is said and heard in race control, similar to mission control with nasa.
@@DoubleWavedYellows I am not asking for live stuff just a package similar to what Martin has done with the Medical car.
XO fans will understand this comment
If you need a really fast rescue car: just put 'Mine Rescue' lettering and turn on the flashing lights on almost any car in a pit area in Yorkshire and the roads will empty in seconds.
I would've liked to know what the car is equipped with rather than seeing it driving along an F1-track...
Whoever picked the Weeknd's shameless for the music. You're awesome
Hope for the best and be prepared for the worst
Teams should spend an old Monocoque or the FIA should by one for training the Marshallteams around the tracks
Amazing ♥️🧡
was watching the race live relieved grosjean was ok worst crash ive seen since dan wheldon .. nice to see who the doctor is under the helmet him and the marshalls running across the track legends & what a name for a Doctor lol Dr Chew 4:47
That was cool to see what kind of care the driver receives if he's injured or even worse killed, It's literally a moving/mobile hospital.
Anyone know the song that starts at beginning of the video?
Nice man
The only medical doctor who wears a race-suit while doing his job
Who picked shameless by the weeknd as the music?
this is one sick medical car. so dress up for battle
Next year's (in reference to 2020) Vietnamese GP that never happened.
The biometric glove is cool
More intersted in the Medical Cars than the F1 cars.
There should be a couple of people with fire extinguishers in the back of that car
Romain bought me here
Same.
It was Sid Watkins who brought those medical facilities
Who knew a year later they'd be at the forefront.
They cannot use the C63 estate in North America since they do not sell there.
If you guy wondering what song is this : shameless the weeknd instrumental
Shamelessby The Weeknd : open.spotify.com/track/6C6fHTuFUxVtJpBOOaMvJr?si=d2jB_Kc9QJe114VRuMY08A

They should get a koeningsegg gemera as a medical car
Heroes
2:44 I guess Romain's crash wasn't 'going to plan'.
Well there was a huge fire so I guess you could say that
@@jonathanjosephlim2624 I thig there are many scenarios.
The "standard" one beeing just an extraction to prevent any back-damage.
For things like fires I think he planned in.
Awesome result with Grosjean...now look at them with awe
The days of the Gladiators are alive and well, in different forms......The thumbs go up or they go down.......invisible to the crowds and to the drivers.
Love
I feel so bad for the people who trained for the vietnam go while it never took place and never will be.
It’s an AMG C63
Everyone is watching this after grosjean's crash
Why not a e63e estate?
They're could be better cars for a safety car tbh, the AMG mercs are quite skitty on track 😂
I think they should replace the medical car with E63s Estate！ That car is literally faster.
Quick question what happens if the medical car crashes Quickly deploy the medi- oh uhh darn it
How will the car get out of the way in time for today's race?
What Vietnam race?
Finally it paid off..
3:53 no James mays ambulance is the fastest
Soft guitar music during a scene from a noisy F1 paddock. Doesn't really fit 😅
I wonder why the have the C63S, it's a great car, but wouldn't the E63S, or even maybe the GT 4 door be faster and thus more appropriate? Or maybe they put the 600+bhp engine in this one, but it's only 2WD, so it's going to be limited by traction...
Also, a quick fact: Alan Van Der Merwe, the driver, is the fastest F1 pilot on the grid: he took a modified Honda-BAR F1 to more than 400 kph on the Bonneville salt flats. No other driver has had the opportunity to drive a car this fast, even in Le Mans.
Agree on the traction consideration. And if not the E63s Estate, even the C43 Estate would be an excellent consideration as it's AWD....unless AMG really wants to flex the V8 rumble which is understandable.
I want a medical car spec c63 S Estate. ☹️
Thank you all no medics ect no RACE
Why does F1 have a universal marshal and emergency response team like Indy car? Surely a specially built team would be better.
TDavy1 It’s probably the cost I suspect. They’d have to fly this crew all over the world to 21 races.
response times.
So every marshall post can do it, before the medical car arrives, if time is essential.
There are a lot of doctors at the marshall posts (have other colored suits in general), so they can do it by themself if needed and can judge if they have the time to wait for the medical car.
Additionally they aren't untrained volunteers without experience.
Anyone here after the grosjean crash
Me.
Thank god he is ok❤
At these speeds, the cars want to go airborne so they lower the carriage as close to the ground as they can and that can trigger disasters as it did for Senna. Maybe these exhibitions are not really necessary.......Where does the money go ? never enough to the drivers who risk their lives every time they race. The owners always win........
come back to VietNam pls
I hope no one gets to use that hospital
My friends Medical should be E63 S estate 700 and couple extra fire extinguishers!
they need a GT63s
And why would that be?
@@AmbientMike faster, more room and overall a way better car
@@OllyMB according to, you, the FIA? Why would we need a faster car, I think if Van Der Merwe had raised concerns to the FIA or Michael Masay that there is somthing deficient in the current medical car they would. Is there a issue with the current one that needs to be addressed, or is this just a personal preference. Why fix a problem that isnt there.
Die GT 63 is a grand coupé. The trunk isnt as large. A E 63 T model would be the next best. (The GT 63 has btw a E chassis.)
@@AmbientMike it has been said a few times that the current medical car is slower the the F1 car and they need something faster, now obviously the GT63s isn’t as fast as a f1 car but seem like a obvious upgrade from the e-class, overall it’s a bigger car so way more storage.
how can i be a marshall?
i speak english and spanish :c
go to the internet side of a local racetrack and you should find links and info
Who is here after Grosjeans’s crash
I'm here. Didn't see it live but it was still sobering to see
Me, although five days afterwards.
