Dr Gary Hartstein wanted a full time safety crew for F1 modeled off the Indycar crew when he was the medical chief. FIA shut down the plan based off costs. Like he said in F1 you're relying on track volunteers most of the time who only have rudimentary training. The Indycar safety team is made up of full time paramedics and firefighters who train specifically for what they might encounter in the series.
