Apparently the Safety car crashed because of a brake failure, which is why Bernd flicked it sideways (hence the screeching) to reduce momentum before going into the gravel and hitting the barrier. So even crashing is done skillfully by this driver😅
I heard a caliper locked. It looks like the car pitched left. He then counter steered and it went right and spun. He was counter steering the whole way like he was still trying to save it. Kind of like an unintentional Scandinavian flick. Deliberately spinning a car at those speeds is a huge risk. The car could flip if it hit the trap sideways. Now, If he did have no brakes he may not have had an option. If possible, with a very fast corner like the Parabolica corner ahead, I’d try to get off the gas and take the corner to scrub speed. It would then enter the gravel trap in a more controlled manner and not straight on to the barriers like it did. That’s a very big ‘if possible’. I think this was a sudden failure and he was just skillfully reacting. Either way Bernd handled it like a champion.
Dunno hy this safety car brake balance is not in regulation, just like before FIA change the brake regulation before Zandforst so the Safety Car Cheating not use the new Regulation of FIA. hehehe
@@seashackf1so do you want him to drive straight into the barrier at like 180kph (even with a lift)? When we have a brake failure we deliberately spin the car to reduce momentum, we were taught this since karting days. Spinning reduced momentum, so instead of head-on impact at 180kph it would be around 140kph instead because of the tyres scrubbing the speed, plus it's hard to spin those things anyway because the suspension is not soft like an SUV.
One of the most famous accidents happened at the 2000 Monaco Grand Prix when driver Alex Ribeiro crashed the Mercedes medical car during a Saturday morning test run
@@KymIllman also the crash , but INTO the car in Brazil 2001 , when medical car parked at the middle of Senna S corners, for Bernoldi, Nick Heidfeld crashed into the opend doors and barier.
Im being a bit perdantic here but the 1995 crash was the medical car. I’m sure you already knew that but just thought I’d mention it for accuracy sake. I didn’t know about the others so thanks for letting us know.
The safety car accident looked like a case of brake failure followed by Bernd Maylander deliberately throwing the car into a skid to reduce speed and aimed at crashing into the softest part of the barrier - the tecpro. Looks like a top notch job by Bernd in handling a very serious emergency situation.
I don’t think it was deliberate. It looked more like an unintentional Scandinavian flick. Maybe a brake caliper locked up. The car went left then immediately right like he was counter steering into it. Then as he’s spinning right again you can see him counter steering into the skid the whole way like he was still trying to save it. Also, at those speeds it would be far too dangerous to intentionally spin the car. It could have flipped when it spun and hit the gravel trap sideways. Now, If he had no brakes a far better thing to do would be get off the gas, take the corner to scrub as much speed as possible and go wide into the gravel trap in a more controlled manner and at an angle and not straight on to the barriers.
I would like some more details on this but I would consider it highly unlikely the accident happened due to driver error. I would also consider it unlikely he deliberately flicked the car. Cars are designed for head on impacts and if you know you're going to hit a barrier (he would know) you want to go in head first. This is also why road cars have dialled in understeer and the general idea when you have different front and rear tyres is to install the better ones on the rears. It's all about which part of the car gets hit when things go wrong.
@@seashackf1Nah, bro. You can see the car fails to break. Spinning is the only way to reduce speed. Barrichello had a similar crash (with a Subaru), where the calipers overheated and he had to spin the car to avoid a frontal full speed crash
@@otaviopohren5998 I’ve heard and it looked to me like a caliper locking up. Intentionally spinning at those speeds is very dangerous. He had the very fast Parabolica in front of him. He could take that and scrub a lot of speed. Still won’t make the corner, but better than going straight into the barriers. We’ll see. Also wonder if Aston actually does release the info of what happened. This is one of their road cars that consumers can buy after all.
Saw Kym doing an interview for another RUclips channel so good to see Kym’s channel taking off & yes no one does it better for behind the scenes of F1! So proud have being watching for years now on Instagram!
I honestly look forward to your videos more than I do the actual races now. Heck, your content is far more interesting than any of the F1 pre and post race shows! I truly hope you "Stay Passionate" about what you do for many more years to come!
The biggest pace car (safety car) crash I recall was at the start of the 1971 Indianapolis 500. After leading the field to the green flag, the pace car, driven by a local car dealer and with one of the TV announcing crew as passenger, lost control while returning to the car's ready station and crashed into a photographers' stand, injuring 29 people. It was the last time someone without racing credentials was selected to drive the pace car for The 500.
Love your content, Kym. Another RUclipsr named "Lollipopman F1 comics" is gonna have a field day with the safety car crash. He has a running gag about the safety car teams relationship with Logan crashing. 😆
Apparently the brakes suddenly locked up, I saw a video of the crash and you can see definitely something happened before the crash. Between the noise and movement of the car it makes sense
I actually dont see any of the wheels locking up until the crash. Even when he is backing it looks like that engine starts to reversing. It really looks like a complete brake failure.
I remember the safety car at Bathurst was originally called the pace car. Oh your video touched on two topics, the safety car and misspelling. Well I can combine both with a story as Safety was misspelled on the V8 Supercars safety car just a few years back.
The guy next to Max in the Heineken commercial is Fabrizio Romano. A famous italian journalist known for his exclusive news on football player transfers.
The best sounding car in F1 took a punt but Im glad the drivers are all ok. AMR not only build great road cars but safe road cars as proven. Best marketing stunt with no CGI. The guy at the end expressing his English level was a good laugh.
Could you catch up with the F1 social media gang? My son's fiancé works with them. Emma and the folk work their socks off! Lovely to get them a shout out on your brilliant channel! 😊
If I had to guess why a Ferrari does t wear their signature color at Monza, I’d guess it’s due to Merch sales. The fans, especially at Monza would be quick to buy up special livery jerseys so I can assure you they would take advantage of that to try to sell their unique color shirts. Case in point one of the fans already was wearing the new shirt when you were interviewing fans outside of the hotel.
I was in Monza in 1998 for the first time and witnessed Schumacher and Irvine in Ferraris in a 1-2 finish. It was the most festive celebration in person I ever witnessed at a sporting event in my life. Just incredible.
**2002 Brazilian Grand Prix**: During practice, Nick Heidfeld crashed his Sauber into the open door of the medical car, which was attending to another crash. **2011 Canadian Grand Prix**: The safety car collided with the Lotus of Heikki Kovalainen while entering the pit lane.
Prior to the first Adelaide Grand Prix in 1985, 2 police patrol cars were assigned to circulate around the track all through the Saturday night to prevent vandalism or hooning. Only one patrol car reached the finish line the next morning.
@@Redlingsteinwell, he did not total it, but he did smack the hell out of it…watching the replay, it looked like the car didn’t want to turn in the corner. Fresh road service. Needed more break in time? Some of the other drivers had an issue (not-as-bad) in the corner as well.
This might be a first. The two I found are: 1999 Canadian Grand Prix: The Safety Car, driven by former Canadian racing driver Jean-Paul Cabana, spun out on the wet track while leading the field. No other cars were involved, and the Safety Car quickly resumed its duties. 2007 Japanese Grand Prix: During a very wet race at Fuji Speedway, the Safety Car, driven by Bernd Mayländer, briefly slid off the track due to the extremely poor visibility and wet conditions but did not crash or sustain any damage. The Medical Car has been in more accidents/crashes.
What the hell is going on with the Parabolica? Kimi Antonelli lost it there and screwed up George's Merc. Sainz and Colapinto both had a similar problem right at the point where Kimi lost it.
The resurfacing made the track a bit different there, it’s on the outside a bit in an angle now to get it equal with the gravel…. That makes the track different therethan before and apparently the cars don’t like that….
HEY RUclips, WTH is wrong with your algorithm, why does Sir Illman still not have 1 million subscribers? ;) Sir Illman, another awesome video with so much information in only 11.34 minutes, Thank you!
Love your content Kym! It’s unique and sticks to the facts. A big plus is how you avoid spending time on a lot of silly rumors. Stay hydrated out there this weekend!
Re the safety car crash at Monza,how embarrassing 😅. Some years ago a safety car driver got it wrong at an Indycar race,if I recall the track may have been wet ,and the SC was leading the field!!
The only other time I heard of a course car ‘crashing’ was when Taki Inoui was hit by the medical car after he crashed at the 1995 Hungarian GP. If you hear of other times this has happened, I hope you let us know.
That new media format makes as much sense as Monza's concession layout. Are they still forcing fans to convert their money to coins and only have 4 places to eat?
Having seen the video of the crash and if its true the brakes failed, Bernd has shown his incredible skill and quick thinking under pressure, flicking the car on purpose. Amazing driver.
Just as he (Bert) flicks it, we can see the rear discs are glowing, beforehand there was a little dust/smoke from the rears as the initial breaking occurred but during the incident the fronts didn't seem to be working hard enough to give a visual indicator of such. Honestly preferred the upgraded Merc, seems the drivers have been commenting on the reduced speed of the safety car this year compared to the Merc too. It's not good enough but money is money and that's seemingly more important to the FIA than driver safety.
kym my man, i work as camera operator for news gathering here in italy, and all my reporters have less then half of your ability and charm in front of a camera.
I was at Zandvoort last weekend and Bernd was a speaker at the F1 Experience Hospitality on Sunday. He was asked if he had ever crashed (shunted) the safety car and he gave a couple of anecdotes. I guess that was a fateful question... who knew....
Kym, please do more straw polls/interviews with the fans. That was fun seeing them off-track. Fun for us to see what the normal fans (like us!) get up to and what their views are. It would mean more to us than Blundle’s Grid Walk because most of those celeb’s aren’t familiar with F1!😂. You captured the fans’ excitement - again something most celeb’s don’t have!
1:03 whoa those glass are properly broken. I'd imagine the Safety Car and Medical Car are built to GT3 safety specifications, but I guess not. When GT3s have massive high speed crash, their side windows doesn't even shatter.
Probably just going to be a road car with some stickers on and maybe some nice tyres, I think GT3 uses perspex windows? Or some other sort of proprietary plastic
@@jackisonline2 most race cars have polycarbonate windows because it’s lighter than regular glass and is much more impact resistant. Can be used on a race car but not a road car because it’s softer, scratches easily, and over time will get damaged by the Sun’s UV rays
Seems like a braking failure. The wiggles shows that the pilot tries desperatly to loose speed, and if you push up the sound a little bit he also tries to accelerate when he is completly in the backward position. Without any brakes, the only way to loose speed is tzig Zag or to reverse the car and accelerate in the opposite direction. Bernd Mayländer is a master on the tracks, I would not be surprised if it was exactly what he was trying to do by reving his Aston Martin.
I literally saw a few hours ago a comment on yelistener's video about the Safety Car Telemetry saying that Maylander has never crashed it and deserves praise.
Kym, I alway loved your work but if the pin you have in your T-shirt is, as it seems, the Argentine flag, from now on I will be your number 1 fan! Vamos Colapinto!

@@jackisonline2 most race cars have polycarbonate windows because it’s lighter than regular glass and is much more impact resistant. Can be used on a race car but not a road car because it’s softer, scratches easily, and over time will get damaged by the Sun’s UV rays
Airbags didn't go off. Maybe it will buff right out and he won't have to ruin his no claims discount?
Seems like a braking failure. The wiggles shows that the pilot tries desperatly to loose speed, and if you push up the sound a little bit he also tries to accelerate when he is completly in the backward position. Without any brakes, the only way to loose speed is tzig Zag or to reverse the car and accelerate in the opposite direction. Bernd Mayländer is a master on the tracks, I would not be surprised if it was exactly what he was trying to do by reving his Aston Martin.
Colapinto has some Sennaness to his look, but that is probably all he has compared to Ayrton. 😂
I literally saw a few hours ago a comment on yelistener's video about the Safety Car Telemetry saying that Maylander has never crashed it and deserves praise.
The young Argentinian gives off Senna vibes 🏆
Only his hair, not his skills
at 2000 Monaco Grand Prix, the Medical car crashed, it was driven by Alex Ribeiro
Was just there yesterday did not see it but it was bloody hilarious and all me and my dad talked about.
Kym, I alway loved your work but if the pin you have in your T-shirt is, as it seems, the Argentine flag, from now on I will be your number 1 fan! Vamos Colapinto!
Same spot as Antonelli at FP1.
