    Honestly I'm not sure that would have mattered much. While they all call the medics heroes, what exactly is it that they did, that Grosjean didn't do already? He got out of the fire by himself and climbed over the armco. They squirted the fire extinguisher on him, but he was not on fire and then they helped him to their car. He could have done all that by himself.

    And especially in a place like Bahrain money doesn't seem to be a problem to begin with.

    I remember Berger's crash... but it was not as intense compared... he slid against the wall. vs going under the guard rail.... but yes, they are similar. the fire in Bergers case was not as intense

    Apologies if I missed it but is there any data or other understanding of how Grosjean's incident began ? It seemed to be a sharp right turn that was not corrected nor was the throttle moderated

    Grosjean clipped Kyvats car as Grosjean tried to move right for clearing. Grosjean didn't know Kyvat was there.

    The concept of an ARMCO barrier is 70 years old. The design of stacking them up to stop cars made like wedges of ultra strong composite is ridiculous. Isn't it time the barrier system design and materials are as sophisticated as the cars they are intended to stop?

    Fair point, but the chief medic cannot remember his name whilst being interviewed, did have some substance that had melted onto his suit, so I can only presume it was a near do, and Iam sure Grosjean was more than happy to see help arrive, but yes I tend to agree.

    Can anyone explain to me why Bottas, during a pit stop, only changed 3 tires instead of the usual 4?

    Was he out of a complete tire set??

    Thanks both - is the consensus that he over-swerved to avoid what was happening in front of him prior to touching Kyvat ? His angle relative to the track seems very extreme

    Yep, he had traffic in front of him WHILE another car was off track to Grosjeans left trying to merge behind the traffic. Grosjean saw an opening to the right and proceeded to sway right.

    They put back his original set of mediums since they were hardly used and as you might recall one of them had a puncture.

    Come on now. EVERY F1 driver spins around randomly on the track, all by themselves. And he said it himself afterwards. The car is undriveable..... (sarcasm off)

    The Halo arm shaved back quite a bit at the attachment point. Still detest the way they look but I’ll never want to see any Formula car go without from now on. This should be the end of Armco for any F1 track.

    Seriously? Seriously?

    The Stewards should be fined for failing to have their collective heads examined.
