    I have to say I believe the person claiming to be a Marshal. The scene he described was accurate, it did happen on camera. Carlos was telling a marshal to put a wedge and he did and the car had too much momentum and simply went over the wedge and kept rolling.

      I don't get why the wedge they use is so small and has no handle. The marshal had to get his fingers dangerously close to a rolling wheel, so he couldn't get the chock in straight, so it kept slipping and pushing it sideways. There was also some steering angle which didn't help. Glad Carlos is ok and the marshal didn't lose a finger.

    • @bruzie900
      @bruzie900 2 года назад +6

      The key thing with the wedges is that they're to keep a stopped car from moving (after recovery), not to stop a rolling car. Plus they hadn't accounted for the larger wheels this season.

    During this year's Nurburgring 24hr race, we saw a similar style incident take place with a KTM X-Bow. It stopped off track near marshals, clearly on fire. The driver started making their way out, and the marshal started extinguishing the fire. But the KTM started rolling down the hill! It literally rolled back on to the track, before eventually crossing over to the opposite side and crashing in to a barrier, finally coming to a stop again. ruclips.net/video/eVJ_f88iFzE/видео.html Video for reference. I don't know if GT cars also omit handbrakes.

    I think the full all wheels brake should be applied automatically once the steering wheel is disconnected and stay that way after reconnecting the steering wheel unless the driver or marshal unlock it.

      We would need to see if the gearbox even allowed Carlos to do that. F1 cars have hundreds of failsafes to avoid the engines and geaborxes being totaled by human error (for example, Charles couldn't downshift with the throttle sticked).
      Parking against the signs/barrier was the simplest way to stop the car but I imagine Carlos, frustrated and angry and also with a bit of fire on his back, didn't really was aware of everything.

    • @tomnewham1269
      @tomnewham1269 2 года назад +1

      In a normal situation the gearbox is meant to be left in neutral and the steering wheel to be in place when a driver leaves his F1 car. Yes I know the car was on fire and this was not normal but I assume Carlos would have instinctively left the car in neutral when he first pulled up.

      They actually have a button that puts the car in NEUTRAL and they are obliged to press it when they stop alongside the track.
      That is why the car rolls back. It would be possible to make an exception to that rule like "you do not need to put the car in neutral when it is parked off the track and is in danger of rolling (back onto the track or into something) when left".
      Then he could have left the car in gear and jump out without issue. But as it is now, that would have caused him getting a penalty. It is probably second nature for all drivers to press the neutral button whenever they have any problem with the car.

    Can confirm the marshal trying to use the parking block to stop the car. You can see it on the replay, he tries to throw the wedge down but the car is already in motion and sort of skips over it. As far as the extinguisher, yes even if it's not a big enough cannister to completely extinguish the flame, if you are there and can safely deploy it, you should because it can slow down the growth of the flames dramatically. Lessons learned.

    maybe just maybe the drivers should be instructed to turn the steering hard in one direction so if it rolls it turns into the barrier?

  • @DjDolHaus86
    @DjDolHaus86 2 года назад

    Part of the reason the car couldn't be left in gear to stop it rolling back was because the engine had grenaded itself, if any of those bits we saw flying out from under the car had been the crankshaft failing then there would be nothing but friction within the transmission stopping the car rolling away. I have seen a car roll off a ramp because an apprentice forgot that being in gear wasn't enough to immobilize the car when the spark plugs had been removed.

    Just do like the do on golf carts. Put a brake lock on the pedal. Put a button on the steering wheel on the bottom on the back of it (so the driver can’t accidentally press it during the race) and when holding the brake down, push it and the brake will hold in that position keeping the car from moving

    I mean theres a burning F1 car pulling up to you (the volunteer) I’d imagine you’d have some experience to make the job; I could also imagine freaking out about what the right call is to make. Do you extinguish the fire right away? Do you try to get Carlos out? Do you stop the car? Who’s coming out to help you? Theres a lot going on and very little time to do them in

    There was a chock for the wheel. I saw the marshal trying to stop the car for the front right wheel. It just pushed it down before it went over it. You could see it in the live video feed from the race. It did take them a while to get it out there though.

    They can have a small button which can lock the "leg" brake in its place instead of investing on handbrake... I think it won't be more than 500 gms, but can save the car from irreparable damage or god forbid, blow up when the driver is still in car trying to stop the car

    F1 should have a pull lever, or some sort of Air jack system like Indy Car. Not for pitstops but for car retirements like engine failure, on hills with distinct incline or if its sliding uncontrollably on gravel (wheels down of course). Although that would just add more weight to the car. I'm not sure.

    @SpcNATlON 2 года назад

    Something I'm surprised hasn't been brought up. F1 brakes are brake by wire. There is absolutely no need for a mechanical hand brake. One button that engages the brakes in the event of a failure. Even when cars are turned off the ECU's can remain "awake" for about 10-15 minutes and will periodically "wake up" once asleep to check the cars status (this being on your average everyday car). I'm sure while the battery is still fresh of charge it can apply the brakes for say 30 seconds. This would give time for the driver to exit and Marshall's to chock the wheels of a stationary car. It's evident the ferrari was still capable of applying brakes because you can see Carlos slide in for a brief moment to try to stop the car before succumbing to the flames and making his exit.

  • @WasleySchultz
    @WasleySchultz 2 года назад

    Can’t say anything about the Marshalls as they were somewhat prepared. A wedge to stop the car from rolling was placed on the front right wheel but the car rolled right over it as there was too much momentum. Carlos should have turned the wheel to the left so the car would stop on the barrier then jump out. That’s easy to say however since the engine literally blew up grind him and he was in a bit of a pickle lol. I do think however there should be an e brake. Remove the steering wheel, locks all four. Or press a button.

  •  2 года назад

    I think they could use a "handbrake" using the electric motor/generator from the wheels, as the cars harvest energy, they could use the same motor/generator to lock the wheels or even the motor using a magnetic shield... not that hard to implement too, incase of a failure such as that the system can automatically lock the wheels/motor

    • @theUnforgiven48
      @theUnforgiven48 2 года назад

      Good idea but it needs to be tested first. If this system malfunctions it could lead to severe consequences. Wheels suddenly locking at high speed or it might not even work at all in this situation if the electric system goes.

  • @PaulKentSkates
    @PaulKentSkates 2 года назад

    I saw the car roll over the wedge when I was watching the race I think the issue is the larger tires roll over the small wedge. I bet they haven't upgraded the size of the wheel chock since the redesign of the cars.

    Ya know honestly, this to me was the scariest incident I've seen this year. Zhou crash was dramatic but even while watching it, I knew already the halo and roll hoop would keep him safe. With Carlos' incident, you can see a procedural and planning failure. This is foreseeable and even if it adds weight, some mechanism to lock the brake or tires SOMEHOW should be mandatory. Maybe disengaging the wheel should lock the rear dif

    • @SomeYouTubeGuy
      @SomeYouTubeGuy 2 года назад +1

      Turn the wheel so the car turns into the barrier. Car stops rolling, get out of car. It's not a difficult situation to sort out.

    • @AlejandroLZuvic
      @AlejandroLZuvic 2 года назад

      There was nothing scary about this incident. Carlos was, rightfully, trying to stop the car but he knew he had time to get out, the part that catched fire was not the fuel tank or the fuel lines, it was oil, probably from the turbo.
      Admittedly, Carlos could have turn the wheel against the signs and be done with it, but god knows what was going on through his head at the time. Marshals need better training (a world of difference between the Monaco ones and Austria's) and bigger ledges lol.

  • @MonochromeWench
    @MonochromeWench 2 года назад

    I have to wonder if Carlos should have turned into the gravel trap because that should have made it more difficult for the car to roll away. That is likely why the marshals were unprepared how often do the cars stay off the gravel trap at that corner when going off.

  • @randomzocker8956
    @randomzocker8956 2 года назад

    What i heared was that the martial who went on track to put the fire out did so without beeing allowed to because it wasnt even declared safe yet. It seems it probably needs an investigation why that took so long.

  • @GasGas1252010
    @GasGas1252010 2 года назад

    I think the marshals did very well, the car rolling downhill was obviously the bigger threat than the fire. For Carlos it was scary but not terribly dangerous, his safety gear can take a lot more before he gets burned.

  • @ambiention
    @ambiention 2 года назад

    They don't need a separate handbrake system, just a way to latch the pedal brakes on. Plus the drivers should get some training so they turn the steering wheel fully towards the wall in this situation

  • @y_fam_goeglyd
    @y_fam_goeglyd 2 года назад

    I saw the car roll over the block. It only stopped because the back turned into the wall. I'd have thought that a suitably sized block would be immediately to hand for the marshalls to use for any type of car racing. Sometimes, even if a car has a handbrake, it can fail if certain things go wrong.
    Definitely not the marshalls' fault, more that of the track owner/race organisation for not ensuring that proper equipment was there for that rare, but (if you've watched enough motorsports) reasonably predictable event.

  • @ghoststomper

    The more important question should be: Why didn't Carlos steer the car to the left so that it would've rolled backeards into the barrier? Or why didn't Carlos drive the car into the gravel?
    Everybody in western Europe that has a drivers liscense knows to steer the car towards the curb when parking their car. That way IF the brakes fail, it will automatically roll towards the curb and stop.

  • @robot3759
    @robot3759 2 года назад

    Whether or not the guy who claims to be a marshal is or not, you can clearly see that the car rolls over whatever the marshal placed under it when he bent down under the tyre. I think that this is much more a marshalling error either in equipment or skill than a problem with not having a handbrake, something that would annoy teams to no end like cameras do now.

  • @LednacekZ
    @LednacekZ 2 года назад

    We could clearly see that one marshal was trying to put a wedge behind the wheel, but the car pushed it to much down and drove over it. I also believe that the other marshal got an order to get a bigger extinguisher. What i have not seen is Carlos grabbing one and trying to put out his own flaming car.

  • @patrickbryant_
