Sky F1 did an interview with Grosjean some time after the crash. His description of the fight to get out of the burning car was gut-wrenching. His foot had gotten stuck under the pedals and as the cockpit was partially under the armco barrier, it was very difficult to get out of the burning wreckage. IIRC, once he had managed to rip his foot free from under the pedals (his foot came out of the shoe), he tried multiple times to get out of the car, but every time he hit something above him and was unable to get out. According to him, at that point he accepted his fate and gave up, thinking this is where his life will end and he came to terms with it. But then he thought of his wife and kids and thought he has to fight for his life for their sake. And then he managed to squirm his way out between the halo and the armco barrier. It was one of the most touching descriptions of events I've ever heard. The halo had saved his life when the car struck the barrier, but then it almost killed him when it blocked his way out of the burning car.

I can see what you mean with the difficulties caused by the halo, but I'd say it gave him a fighting chance, and it pretty much brings no downsides in plenty of other scenarios without fire

This is a design flaw with the halo that has been evident since day 1, but people won't acknowledge that the design can be improved. Otherwise we are going to see an accident where a driver is trapped like Grosjean was, and they won't have the same luck he did.

Brundle could have been killed not only once but even TWICE just in 1994, as in the Japanese GP when he basically had an accident very similar to the one in which Jules Bianchi was killed twenty years later (in the same corner, too). If I recall correctly, after losing control, Martin saw the crane and managed to avoid it just by inches, by hitting abruptly the brakes in the attempt to make his car spinning harder than it was already doing, in the hope of getting out of the crane trajectory. Unfortunately he run over a marshal who suffered legs fractures.

Seeing the drivers helplessly calling out to Lauda and calling for aid during the fireball is so heartbreaking, even with the knowledge that Lauda lived. Imagine having witnessed the crash, seeing the fireball, and even crashing into him, and having the humanity to essentially "quit" your job for a moment for the sake of another. Its inspiring, but heartbreaking. Edit: Thank you for including that footage, because it very commonly gets overlooked, as does the footage of the drivers staying with him trackside, as there is usually more focus on the crash itself.

@@MotorMadeven today we still see things like that. May i point to the incident at the british gp where Russell jumped out of his car and ran towards zhou, with zero regard for himself. Or vettel at spa when lando crashed during quali, immediately driving towards him and checking if he is okay. Or grosjean's crash where everyone was so incredibly worried. I believe it's quite unfair to say today's drivers are not treating each other like family anymore, or that today's drivers bicker on the radio much more. You simply hear more of what they say, and most of if not all of the drivers are very close friends. Many of them spent most of their careers racing against each other from karting all the way up to F1.

@@MotorMadI don't know if that's a fair comparison. Drivers have always bickered, Hunt was a famous shithouse, lots of drivers talked shit about Stewart even when he was trying to save their lives and Senna was a real crybaby when he wanted to be and this only scratches the surface of the manchild antics. Back in the 60's and 70's drivers did stop and help because they were often the first on the scene and there were few marshals and even fewer who were trained or equipped to deal with the fireballs and wrecks of bent metal. Once the 80s rolled around the marshalling improved massively and drivers were instructed not to risk adding another casualty to the mess by getting involved, just follow race director instructions and leave it to the professionals. It didn't mean they didn't care, they're all human and they understand the risks better than any of us can.

I've never seen that Brundle/Verstappen crash before but it's horrible. In an era before raised cockpit sides, HANS and the halo it's incredible how exposed the driver's heads were and it's a miracle he didn't have his neck snapped instantly. It would take the Senna and Ratzenberger deaths for the FIA to look seriously at the problem and fortunately head protection would start to be beefed up for the '96 season and they've continued working on it since. It's an accident that simply couldn't happen today, fortunately. On the subject of Senna, it's feels like the Piquet and Berger accidents were the F1 gods trying to warn everyone about how dangerous Tamburello was. Shame nobody paid attention.
@MotorMad 7 ай бұрын
Martin is a very lucky man to walk away from that & he knows it. But it's a very good thing that it doesn't happen anymore. Personally, I think Tamburello itself wasn't actually that dangerous. However, the protections in place were not sufficient for such a fast part of the circuit. It probably would've been a much different story if they had proper barriers & gravel traps instead of a giant concrete wall with nothing to slow them down in between. But F1 is full of "what ifs?" & that is definitely one of them

What an absolutely superb video! You have earned yourself another subscriber right here. The way you handled what is rightly considered a pretty sensitive subject was handled with the respect and dignity it deserves, as well as honouring all the brave men who risk their lives doing what they love for our entertainment. I was curious to see if you would include the Tom Pryce incident until I saw the picture at the end. That was a truly horrendous accident, of which I have seen many angles and videos, some of which are frankly gruesome. I also learned something insomuch as the 1981 Belgian GP was held at Zolder as opposed to Spa-Francorchamps. I also saw a clip of whom I believe to be Roland Ratzenbeger, so I assume he will feature in part 2. That is very important to me personally, as I feel his tragic death was overshadowed by the equally tragic death of Ayrton Senna. Not forgetting, of course, that Rubens Barrichello too almost died on the Saturday, having swallowed his tongue following his crash. Were it not for the quick actions of the FIA doctor, Professor Sidney Watkins, he too would have died. Again, what an awesome video. I'm going to see if part 2 is out as soon as I have posted this comment.

You were able to find the images of the Mika´s crash in 1995 that I remember so vividly seeing in the Finnish media back then. Everyone were worried about what happened and if he could survive. That whole ordeal is the exact culmination of what we Finns call "Sisu". Coming back from the near death experience and winning two times World Championship after that. That's why I myself regarded Niki so high above many others.

Regarding the incident at Zolder involving Stohr. How can you possibly lay any fault on him is appalling. his lack of experience had nothing to do with it. He had a better jump than those around him. thus him having to take evasive actions to avoid hitting them. therefore him steering right into Luckett. What is truly shocking is the outright dismissal of race officials to take action. If anyone is to blame it is them.

Forgive me but I didn't lay any fault on anyone during that particular segment, It's not my place to point fingers. I was very careful not As you've pointed out its quite obvious where the problem is (Race control didn't even have a TV & no one bothered to tell them that Patrese stalled). This is the first time doing a full-length documentary so I'm gonna say things that come out sounding wrong. I do not blame Stohr at all for that, any driver could've been in that unlucky position. Me labelling Stohr inexperienced is neither a good or bad thing, but it was his 3rd GP start at the time compared to other drivers around him. I'm sorry if I upset you in anyway, that's certainly not my intention, but to clarify I don't blame Stohr for that accident at all & I think my rookie script writing abilities is being taken out of context. I hope you can see where I'm coming from & have a good weekend 👍

@@MotorMad But You said "his inexperience was probably a factor in his inability to avoid Patrese's car." I would disagree 100%. I don't believe even the great Senna would have avoided an accident like that as the driver was totally unsighted & you could see he braked heavily and tried avoiding action but it was too late. I thought his reactions seemed pretty good, but alas not enough for the unfortunate Mr Luckett. Thank god he wasn't killed, unlike driver Paletti a year later. I was not upset by the way, just wanted to correct that misleading statement. Loved the rest of the vid, so please keep them coming. ☺️

I always used to speculate that Gilles Villeneuve put a curse on F1 from beyond the grave.

Yeah finding footage (or even photos) from that era has been difficult to find, especially for Episode 2. It is haunting to see Gilles involved in that protest & you've gotta take your hat off to Patrese for continuing in F1 despite his troubled early years, especially after the treatment he received after the Monza 1978 incident. He held his head up & ended being one of the most experienced F1 drivers of all time!

@@MotorMad Exactly. You can say that Jim, Gilles and Senna had warning after warning in their careers. And the worst was that they were just about to heed them when disaster struck... I suggest you collab with Fatal Motorsport Crashes, since they have incredibly respectful material for such tragic incidents. Do not, and I repeat, do not go on errands on your own looking for material. Chech FMC or a similar motor enthusiast that truly has an interest in preserving the memory of the drivers and not sensationalism at heart. Months ago I was looking for fatal crashes data for an ML errand...
