the fact that Grosjean got out because he thought of his kids, incredible. The Phoenix

[@AlanFormula12022]

Grosjean got out of this nearly unharmed surprisingly.

[@tomorainns145]

I remember watching this live in absolute shock, one of the worst things ive ever seen on live tv

[@Shotgunner_K]

I watched that happen on drive to survive. It’s shocking how he literally walked out of fire.

[@herohelsloot9785]

On live tv it didn't show him get out for like 30 mins

[@AlwaysBenevolence]

Yeah, i watch replay over and over then read his recovery, then listen his telling story what he was doing right after crashed. I am still shellshocked about this crash. One more thing, I am glad that halo did most saving of his life.

[@SirPrizeMF]

I was 100% sure Kubica was dead. His feet were literally sticking out of the hole in front of the car. Him winning Canada the year after is the most beautiful poetic justice in F1 I've ever seen.

[@TheAndostro]

yeah he made young me cry twice once in 2007 and in 2012 after his rally crash

[@abhinavsaha8158]

Even after the major fireball in 2020 Bahrain, Romain Grosjean said this : "Jules Bianchi saved my life, thanks to the halo. And I was absolutely against its introduction - what an idiot I was! Jules saved my life and the lives of other drivers, and I will always be grateful to him for that." I'm so glad that F1 motorsport is completely safe and innocuos after the safety improvement and car regulations.

[@AlanFormula12022]

Without Bianchi saving him, Grosjean could've been easily dead.

[@NomadUniverse]

Funny that. He also forgets it nearly killed him. As for saving other drivers, I can see why he thinks that, but the only driver it's definitively saved is him.

[@99Starlord99]

I remember Leclerc's team radio on that day. Asking for updates and saying "please..." to himself in a weak voice. First his godfather, then someone who he considered as his brother passed away in crashes and now one of his best friends crashed in a fireball. I've felt so sorry for him.

[@lowencraft1404]

[@xtheamazingax]

Bianchi. We all know that’s the worst of the century. And it never should’ve happened. Safety car should’be been deployed after Sutil crashed… but it’s the FIA, and they don’t care. They still haven’t learned, and they never will do. Grosjean’s was the worst that wasn’t fatal. Me and my Nan were in utter disbelief and horror seeing that crash… and equal relief when we saw him climb out.

[@KenzieRetro]

agreed regarding grosjean me and my mum watched it at home and my exact wrds when i saw the flames were "OH GOD!"

[@Warbler-Productions]

The Japanese race in 2014 should never have taken place, the fact that the helicopter was grounded meant that any driver, let alone Jules, would have had to be rushed through road traffic to the nearest hospital. The F.I.A. are to blame 100% for Jules’ death as they had to power to postpone or cancel the race but refused to do so as it would have cost them and the promoters a lot of money. Jules could have been a champion and been team mate to his Godson in Ferrari but that opportunity was taken from him by the FIA 😢

[@sirmely]

@@Warbler-Productions FIA are to blame for pretty much any F1 death since 1990

[@AlanFormula12022]

FIA even in 2025 still never gonna care the same way EA does.

[@sandygehrmann6309]

I'm a recent F1 fan, and had never seen the Bianchi accident before today. What the fuck. Who's idea was it to bring out what was essentially a 10 tonne lump of metal with bits jutting out at literal driver head height on a corner that had just been proved to be dangerous, in torrential slippery conditions, and KEEP THE RACE GOING!?? That's practically manslaughter in my eyes and I hope the FIA was held responsible for such a dumb fucking decision.

[@tomm1413]

Every time I see Suzuka 2014, I get shivers down my spine. I remember watching that race live and waiting for every little news update. The news of his passing was a punch in the gut. VSC and halo would probably have saved him, but of course these changes are always coming in too late. Same for Bahrain 2020. Those 27 seconds before he got out felt like an eternity. Insane the Haas had split in half, but it only showed how much the safety has improved in F1. Let's hope we never have another Suzuka 2014

[@daninagy4173]

No way that was JUST 27 seconds! I remember sitting there in front of the TV like "Come on, get out already! I don't want to see a man die today!"

[@afrog2666]

"but of course these changes are always coming in too late" They come in when it becomes apparent that they`re needed, and/or when the technology is able to put the measure in place. And they didn`t come too late for Grosjean at least..

[@Chuffedfr]

Everyone of the crashes leading upto Grosjeans crash saved his life.

[@a73426]

At first when I saw you'd included Jules in this video, I was hesitant, but you did it with grace and in a manner that amplifies his legacy and the impact he's had on this sport forever.

[@charliep123]

Agreed.

[@LMPDragon]

Another massive one you missed was Jacques Villeneuve at Australia, 2001. That was a monumental accident that didn't have the happy ending everyone hoped for. But I'm glad we've come such a long way from the days of old. We're so unbelievably lucky that safety is put first.

[@sirmely]

Yep that is a big one he missed.

[@Chris-x4t1k]

I was about to comment that. Definitely a crash i will never forget

[@pistonfury]

bro i'm not supposed to see this right now... got work.. but i am so tempted... you built a good rep and you got good videos.

[@Wubie40]

Rolls actually save lives actually, it gradually slows the body inducing less gs

[@WaterCrane]

I remember it being mentioned on NASCAR in the 90s. The rolls and flips look dramatic and scary to onlookers, but usually the driver gets out relatively unscathed. However, the crashes where the car just hits the wall at a sharp angle and slides to a stop look remarkably tame since the car remains relatively intact, but the initial impact often severely injures or even kills the driver due to near-instant stopping time. In Bianchi's case, the crane tractor is a solid lump of steel... no cushioning or crumple zones at all to soften the impact.

[@Wubie40]

@WaterCrane yeah I didn't explain it that well but exactly

[@LiteDisc]

"It's not the speed that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end." -Some weird ape from UK

[@Wubie40]

@LiteDisc ape??? And real

[@Fotowikinger]

Let's not forget those who said, the Halo would ruin the racing and would take the soul out of F1. I quote: "The drivers know about the danger, they don't need the Halo" I'm so glad we have this system and that so much effort is put in the safety of this sport

[@liljake8011]

I still remember watching the grosjean accident on TV with my family, first words were "did I just watch someone die on live television?", amazing that he walked out of that crash relatively unscathed

[@abdelali9279]

completely scary it seems unreal to believe these people are at like 200 mph in those thin carbon fibre caskets seeing them survive those crashes is truly nothing short of a miracle

[@createachguy3760]

[@Vector531]

I got the notifacasion that this got uploaded while in history and and got a detension worth it

[@KH0RIUM]

Everyone on the planet that day thought Grosjean was a gonner. Still gives me tears he walked out of it never mind survived. I rem it vividly. It was pure horror live.

[@daninagy4173]

A few things: Apart from one, I watched these crashes live, which isn't by any means a flex; I wish I had missed all of them. The marshals peeling the tyre barrier off of a car is always a gruesome sight. The introduction of the HANS device was a good move, as well as getting rid of refueling. Can't change my mind about the latter. I can't believe it took so long not to organize the Japanese GP during monsoon season. The halo needs no further explanation. Drive to Survive S02E06 was hard to watch. I really like how far safety in F1 has come since I started watching.

[@beanieguy_real]

8:59 i know you put senna there but senna’s crash almost made me break out in tears. he was and still is the best ever f1 driver.

[@rdeh1678]

It's sad when a driver gets hurt worst when they do not make and even worse when you know the driver as a friend, rip Greg Moore

[@belladonnaRoot]

Grosjean's crash is the most undeniable proof that the safety measures put in place work and are worth it. Everything went wrong. He had a heavy crash nearly head-on into a barrier that was never meant to take on a head-on collision. And then a full tank of fuel ruptured and caught on fire. In 1990, he'd be dead 4 or 5 different ways. In 2000, he'd be dead from the head/neck injury, the barrier, and being unconscious in the fire. 2010, he might survive if the barrier didn't KO him. 2020: halo protects his head, crash structure protects his legs and arms, HANS protects his neck and kept him conscious, fire suit kept him from getting life-ending burns, and marshals are there fighting the fire in seconds. It's not just that he walked out. It's that there was still margin for him to survive despite so much going wrong. Two notes: Bianchi's crash is why Gasly was penalized and was still so livid at the organizers in Suzuka a few years ago; they had a recovery vehicle literally on track in the wet while he was catching up to the pack. In his shoes, I probably would have sued the track for it, then donated the money to a safety system that tracks recovery vehicles and alerts everyone if recovery vehicles are on track. And Spa needs to change. Radillon exists in such a way that cars bounce off of the walls back towards the track, on a corner where drivers commit un-sighted and the cars go light. We've seen so many horrific accidents where a car uses its entire crash structure in a wall impact, and then takes a second hard impact from another car. It's only a matter of time before someone dies there.

[@chrissim4386]

I mean we've seen exactly this crash you describe to end fatal just a few years ago in F2

[@kencube86]

Anthoine Hubert of F2 in 2019 and Dilano van 't Hoff of Formula Regional in 2023 died at Radillon. Both were involved in multi car crashes and get hit on the side by another car.

I started watching F1 in 2001 at the age of 8, and I haven't missed a single race ever since. I still remember Burti's accident, it was the first shocker I've seen. It was a great video to remember these. Thank you! 😊

[@dragonpokemonlover237]

Would definitely watch a part two

[@medoc1000]

What a fantastic video. Really enjoyed watching that. It’s wonderful to see that the sport has come a long way to make sure the drivers are safe as can possibly be. Yes it’s a dangerous sport and yes the drivers know what they are risking but when you see the love between the drivers and caring about each other’s welfare it’s so lovely to see. They truly are a different breed.

Firstly I remember so clearly Grosjean’s crash. At first I thought it was Gasly, and I just shut my eyes. I thought he was not just dead, but even if he survived, he wouldn’t be able to get back out of the car. Secondly, yes please do a part 2!

[@MrCanadaben]

As tragic as Bianchi's death was, caused by a crash that never should've happened, it's scary to think that if it never happened, the Halo might've never been introduced which would've meant several drivers would be dead by now, including Leclerc, Hamilton, Verstappen, Zhou, and Grosjean. Bianchi truly saved those drivers

[@smeghead666]

Apparently Bianchi's helmet missed the crane tractor but the G forces and diagonal trajectory of his body after the impact caused the brain injuries

I was not an F1 fan, barely even a sports fan at the time, but I remember hearing about Grosjean's crash on Twitter. That's how widespread it was.

[@stellahong2151]

Grosjean’s crash is basically the whole reason I got into f1. I saw a clip of him saying “I’m the man who walked out of fire” And then him talking about his kids and wife and family

[@ATH3IST-FLuKE]

Nuts how Grosjean got his injuries from jumping over the barrier, not in the crash. The barrier was a blistering 450 degrees and he burned his hands and foot grabbing it from instinct jumping over.

[@kencube86]

Zhou's crash in Silverstone is worse than it looks. His car's roll hoop failed when the car flipped upside down, it shouldn't have been. The halo protected his head from touching the ground when the car sliding upside down.

[@jonathanday6692]

It should be kept in mind that the brain damage from repeated crashes is significant. The crashes are spectacular, and the fact that they're survival at all is impressive, but they're not benign. The spring that caused Massa's crash was survived, which is impressive only because an identical accident in F3 killed a driver.

[@paulshort1027]

A great story well told.

[@LazyPanda882]

I feel like Schumacher nearly getting decapitated in 2010 should have already caused the halo to be introduced

[@alexbrock7815]

I am so glad that Motorsports has become as safe as it has. The drivers I saw die live, of the top of my head: Dale Earnhardt, Dan Wheldon, Allan Simonsen, and Justin Wilson. None of them should have died, but thanks to the safety that motorsports has implemented across all leagues especially in the wake of their deaths, no one needs to die like them again. (I only learned of Jules' crash after the fact). Still, to this day, I don't like seeing major crashes. I don't like the thought of people getting seriously injured or killed because of some oversight in safety.

[@HueGWang]

[@TheMusicGuy-y8b]

I don't watch F1 that much but I know these crashes are violent

[@stepanylmusic4257]

It might sound too harsh, but Jules' death is his own fault. The aim of double yellow flag is to inform drivers that there is a danger ahead of them. Also there is a very clear instruction that you should not drive at full speed under yellows. And he drove with so much speed that he lost control of the car (just reminding, under double yellows). So basically he ignored the yellow flag and received the worst punishment possible. Im not claiming that his mistake under double yellows is the only factor that caused the crash, but people somewhy forget that the actual cause of the crash was the violation of the rules that nowadays is awarded with 10 sec stop&go
