Yeah, it was awful to watch. What amazes me is still how the marshalls and medical team just run straight in to help. Bloody heroes the lot of them!

That was one hell of a crash, i’m amazed he’s walked out with fairly minimal injuries. That halo has truly saved his life
this race is cursed wow
That was terrifying. Can’t imagine what he felt during that. So glad he’s ok.
Thank God he is ok. Do agree with Ricciardo though about how disrespectful it was to feature replays of the crash. Grosjeans poor family must have been traumatised just waiting for news and the replays were properly stomach churning. I know they have to fill the time on a live broadcast but can you imagine if the worst had happened and his family were seeing this?
Just seen Grosjeans Instagram video and to be talking with just the injuries he has is nothing short of a miracle.

I can understand where Daniel is coming from, there were a lot of replays and they were very harrowing.
To be fair to FOM, there were no replays until Romain was clearly in the medical car and not badly hurt.
The replays of those Marshalls and the medical team that didn’t hesitate was incredible, not all superheroes wear capes!

I'm gonna sort of disagree with Ricciardo, the first thing they showed was Grosjean in the medical car, only once we knew he was out of the car and basically fine, did they show replays of the crash. The broadcasting team are very good at cutting away from very serious live accidents quickly and not showing replays until they know the driver is okay.
Incredible. Still can't believe he's ok.

Shows just how far F1 has come over its 70 years.
Even a few years ago he would've died. The halo is truly amazing. Looks like it wasn't even cracked!
I love Daniel and he was clearly worked up. I thought he must've been upset when I heard he'd gone to his room at the paddock rather than staying on the pit lane. However, I agree with you, we didn't see anything until Romain was in the medical care. Replaying stuff over and over is, sadly, normal with most things, look at the 9/11 attacks.
crazy isn’t it. i read earlier that they actually had new suits brought in just this year. the old one were lighter but only fended off fire for 10 seconds but the new ones keep it out for 20! shame they didn’t update the gloves but still he’s really been lucky with this
Lewis has tested positive for COVID.
Quite excited for the mix up this weekend. Shame I'm working!

Annoys me that sometimes in F1 money talks over talent!
I'd love to see George get the drive for Mercedes this weekend.
So relieved that Romain is ok, that was horrific I felt sick. I can't see him back for Abu Dhabi either which is a shame as it's his last season.
Really hope Mercedes will be brave enough to ring Williams and get George for the weekend. Though I'm sure they don't want to risk him showing Bottas up and proving why they should've replace Bottas with Russell. But he deserves the chance and finally get himself some points. But I'm sure Mercedes will be boring and reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne will get the seat.
Mazepin, not the worst driver ever to get an F1 seat. But Haas need the money to survive. A necessary evil.

Oh my god! First points for Russell confirmed! Podium hopefully. I hope he performs better than Bottas, or at least gets close to show he is a better driver than Bottas.
It’s going to be a interesting weekend, glad to see George get a shot...
...however, this isn’t going to look good for Mercedes either way:
1. George is good - so this makes their decision to keep Bottas not a good one, and there will be calls (from British fans & media) that George should be at merc
2. George is not good - (which may just be down to a different beast of a car) - puts his future career at risk, if he can’t at least match Bottas or be close behind.
This is either going to cause a lot of hype around George, or give people a reason to write him off.

If he does struggle, which I've got a feeling he won't be too far away from Bottas, the excuse will be that it's a different car, he isn't used to it etc. and basically that will be a reasonable excuse. But I think he will do a decent job in the car. I think he will Definitely put the pressure on Bottas.
