Poll: Bahrain Grand Prix 2020, Sakhir - Race 15/17

[Kenai]

Well I think that shot of the car with the halo wedged in barrier like that says everything you need to know about whether they're an improvement.

He'd have been decapitated without the halo.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Like it or loathe it the halo has put in some work there.

 

[Andr3w]

Jesus Christ I still feel sick. I immediately thought whoever hit the barrier was instantly killed.

Unbelievable.

 

[antijoke]

The state of that car? How does he survive that?

 

[timmeh]

The halo 100% saved Grosjean’s life there.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Why are there not tyres there??????

 

[vanpeebles]

Just think, a row of auld tyres would have stopped that.

 

[pepp77]

That is insane. So glad he is okay.

not the strongest of barriers there as well as that doesn’t look like an area they would be expecting that sort of impact.

 

[el_dazza]

Reminds me of a crash in USA mid 80s, when driver just stepped out front of his missing car.

Didn't Alex Caffi do the same at Monaco once?

 

[vanpeebles]

Why are there not tyres there??????

Exactly.

 

[mjt]

Seriously though WTF was he doing? Was Kvyat in his blind spot or what?
He just cut straight across the track right into Kvyat!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

The driver just pulled him out of that fireball, massive respect to him for risking his life.

 

[vanpeebles]

TBF big Jean has been due an aeroplane crash all season.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

He’s literally gone through the barrier and jumped back over. There should be tyres there. This will be stopped for hours.

 

[the wopster]

How did he survive this

 

[muon]

Why are there not tyres there??????

It's a straight.

 

[Nasher]

Must be hell being Grosjean's wife.

 

[Flibster]

Leclerc radio - ****** This was a big one. This was a big one. Is he ok?

Pit - We'll come back to you.

Leclerc ******* I've seen it in the mirrors, who is it?

Pit - It's Grosjean Still no information. I will let you know

Leclerc - No please. ********

Pit - We will go through the pit lane and stop ont he pit lane and please etry to keep a gap to the car in front

Leclerc - Still no information?

Pit - Still no information.

 

[Entai]

It's a straight.

On the totally opposite side of the track where any car would ever be.

 

[.:MBK:.]

looks like the safety cell did its job perfectly

 

[CaptainRAVE]

The halo is intact, incredible.
