The halo device kept the barrier from hitting him in the head. Good job done by Grosjean getting out of that wreckage and fire!

YARKS! !!! Turn 3, just past it #8 Roman Grosgean shoots L to R across the track, punches through the ARMCO between 2nd and 3rd row WITH THE FRONT 2/3 OF THE CAR WITH ROMAN IN IT !!!

HALO DOES IT'S JOB AND ROMAN GETS OUT ON HIS OWN AND WALKS TO SAFETY CAR WITH MINOR HAND AND ARM BURNS !!! ALL SAFETY WORKERS OK !!! THANK YOU GOD !!! The Cockpit and HALO did their jobs perfectly! !!

Roman is of to Hospital with possible broken wrist and ribs.

Half kept Roman from being DECAPITATED!!!

Half=HALO stupid autofix.

Thx not The

Glad he got out and is reasonably well. That was a massive impact to punch a hole in the Armco barrier, it destroyed the front half of the car. Wonder if F1 cars have G meters like the Indy cars used? The G forces from that impact are going to be large, somewhere north of 50 G’s (conservative estimate). Good thing it was Armco which bent and absorbed much of the impact, a solid wall would have been a much different story.

Front 2/3 of car...

[McGruff]

Amazing.

[mabarker1]

Yes Live Telemetry on G as well as several thousand more. Tyre pressure, Each Cylinder of Engine, All Engine Sensors, MGU or whatever they call the none nine thingy, 4 corners on Brakes and many more. I’m not sure if they still use The Pucker Factor Sensor or not.

[mabarker1]

Looks like the Front Wing and Nose cone drove Rows 2 and 3 of ARMCO apart. Bottom 2 rows.

[mabarker1]

HEY BOSS !!! WAKE UP !!! ;)

Tidbit info, talk of one of Romain’s Bootie missing after escape. ?G forces “pull” it off?

[mabarker1]

none nine= nonengine.

[Lockbox]

The question is what is the upper end of the reading. The impact is not going to be the range a F1 team would normally use.

[mabarker1]

I’m pretty sure they have both. I’ll look around while they fix Tommy-Tip-Over.

[mabarker1]

For those that missed the NEWEST incident Lance Stroll got Formula Tyred and went upside down (slowly) and is hanging by the Belts as He chats with the Crew while waiting for the Hook Truck.

Hey Boss UR missing all the Mayhem !!!

Formula One drivers usually experience 5 g while braking, 2 g while accelerating, and 4 to 6 g while cornering. Every Formula One car has an ADR (Accident Data Recorder) device installed, which records speed and g-forces. According to the FIA, Robert Kubica of BMW Sauber experienced 75 g during his 2007 Canadian Grand Prix crash.

Formula One racing car driver David Purley survived an estimated 179.8 g in 1977 when he decelerated from 173 km/h (108 mph) to rest over a distance of 66 cm (26 inches) after his throttle got stuck wide open and he hit a wall.

Currently the 2018 F1 cars are possibly drawing as much as 8 g in certain high speed corners and the figures for braking and accelerating is also believed to be higher.
