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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

Yes

@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.

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 📉

I see a replay and think it’s someone who has bad connection in iracing It doesn’t look real

I want to see him do it the proper way, in a 1932 Ford.

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

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.

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

This option is compulsory. Fully agree.

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.

Agree.

and a fire extinguisher!

@@motorsportfan679 cause he drove the medical car, and did help, but not the one in the most dangerous position

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

Knock on wood

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

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

Biometrics are very important in safety and innovation. It's amazing that we can take tips from nature and put it into amazing things.

100% agree!

Bots.

The fuel went out because it had a rupture innthebtank

Well , it broke in half

Trolls. Looking for responses. They're just pathetic creatures with nothing better to do.
