    there seemed to be around 3 or 4 stewards at the point of impact.
    they all seemed to run away instantly, hopefully no major issues with them.

    That was scary. Sickening actually. And the lack of a replay wasn't a good sign, but thankfully looks relatively OK

    That was a shocking looking crash. Really glad to see him out of the car

    HANS device saved his life there. As much as I complain about the Halo and the HANS kinda ruins the visual of the guys driving the cars the HANS has saved a lot of lives over th e years.

    Reminds me a bit of that Alonso crash from a few years back. The car was in a crumpled ball and he walked away with a minor ankle injury.

    Must have been some impact to leak/ignite the fuel

    Many many years since I’ve seen a car go up in flames like that

    The worry with fires is more what you're breathing in, the fireproof clothing doesn't prevent you breathing in the gases.

    That was horrible looking. Not showing any replay yet. Hope Marshalls are all ok.

    So happy we can see that replay if you know what I mean,

    That is just unbelievable , the car sliced in half - to see him hobble away says so much for how far they have come in terms of safety.

    Fire isn't usually a worry, happens in Indycar and it's not usually a sign of anything too bad.


    I was wrong, barrier rather than concrete, halo must've done it's job. Those barriers clearly aren't up to the job.

    Holy everything . How did he walk out of that.
    That was insane

    I could not see on the replay why he cut across Dani K so sharp. Was he avoiding some else.

    There is a lot of clean up and repair to be done there.

    The race director is there observing the scene anyways.

    I agree, they don't need to cancel but considerable repairs to be done. Will be here for a while

    The halo is under the barrier.

    The more I look at this the more I wonder how, even with the various safety devices in F1 cars these days, Romain has survived that?
