And yet none of the guys on Formula 1 broadcasts have even mentioned him. I think that without his actions we wouldn’t be seeing Grosjean so happy right now.
We know each and every one one of you is with us when we say THANK YOU to these wonderful people who keep us safe, and allow us to go racing. As well as this, we hope you'll join us in welcoming Romain back to the paddock, and giving him a hearty get well soon! ❤️
@@barnabro IF you do some research/reading, you will learn that he could do nothing more. He was equipped with a fire extinguisher for a small fire in a car and not an open fire like that. Yet he still run towards the accident and did what he could. Show some respect to volunteers that risked their lives.
@@pedroperezppeez5547 no, in the entire season Nando had 2 retirements to sebs 3 where he gained 65 points up on seb whereas seb gained 43 points from Nandos retirements, still a 22 point difference. Then seb started in the pit lane in abu Dhabi and spun around in brazil.
its hard to say thats the moment of the season. When we saw the moments of him jumping over the fence and then together with the meds marshals. Those are the unforgettable scence and for me moments of the season. I have seriously been shocked for the first time in F1 and that moment to see him alive was such a relief moment..
@@SphaxDeluxe when I saw the big flame and the car I just ... I thought something bad happened but when he emerged from that fire. Phew I’m so glad he’s okay

@@ermutanda3802 The appear to be in the Bahraini Fire Service, hence the uniforms and that's how come they can be promoted. A lot of circuits have Firefighters on hand in addition to regular marshals.
Very happy for those two gentlemen. IMO they did not hesitate and knew exactly what to do. They deserve all the accolades they receive. Very fortunate for Romain Grosjean.
@@enadejeanne3452 Well I'm a science graduate from a world #2 university and I say you Ena volunteer to repeat Grosjean's experience in the name of replicable "science"! With asbestos gloves of course!
Grojean is a real class act, thanking the emergency crews who helped to save his life, i was a firefighter for 16 years, only two people ever personally thanked me for my part in saving their lives.
The bravery of the people that helped him. So brave. For me, this is very emotional as if it wasn’t for them, Romain would’ve died. This Is so so emotional. Fair play.
@@ZIMBO37333 If he heard the marshals and Dr Ian Roberts call out to him that would have helped him to know which way he should go to get out. The marshals sprayed around him help keep some of the fire away from him they also helped him get away from all the heat from the fire as he was barely able to walk if the marshals and the chase car weren't there then he'd probably have worse burns at the very least, the fire suit would have been at its limits.
If you disliked this video, you don't understand how scary this was and the bravery that the people who helped him get out of the car safely. They have risked their lives to save another.
Props to Grosjean to show them the respect they deserve! Those guys need to know they are the reason he is actually able to hug them like that. These are heroes and Romain made sure to let them know.
Absolutely incredible escape and recovery from a horrifying accident. This is wonderful to see Romain up and about and thanking all involved for rescuing and coming to his help
Romain made a lot of mistakes in his career, he was fast but not consistent. But he is one of the best as a human being. Always smiling, funny (in French), humble. A simple guy who loves his family, friends, cooking, sports in general. I'm glad he's alive and that he chooses to invest himself personally with the FIA to work on security in the future.
Inspirational!!! to acknowledge those who have helped you is one of the greatest accolades that could be given to any person. To recognize the complexity of how that help was given is truly a gift very few possess. To the Medical team, Marshalls, FIA, Hass, and Romain Heros one and all.👏👏👏
I'm happy the guy that crossed the track and got the first fire extinguisher on him was recognized. Everyone was talking about the medical car guys, but thats the man that actually saved him. I'm pleased to see him get the recognition he deserves.
Regardless of what you think of Romain on or off track, there's no denying he's a gentleman !! A very polite, well spoken and genuinely likable dood 😁👍
The moment of the season. Before the last race, my choice would've been Gasly's win, but this, even if off-track, betters everything else that's happened thus far.
Behind every glamorous track day at every level of motorsport around the world there are thousands of people whose names we will never hear that keep the drivers and fans safe. I'm so glad to see a few people get their recognition and thanks for saving this driver's life. But thank you to all others who make motorsports possible!
I just discovered this video in 2022 and is very emotional to watch him back saying "i love you...thank you for save my life" 🥺😪 Romain is a miracle!!! The best of in F1🙏👏
We all just saw a miracle. There are so many heroes responsible for Romain being here today. Absolutely amazing and huge respect to everyone involved from the designers / engineers, to the marshals, to the medical team, to Romain and to so many more who have pushed so hard over the years to make this sport safer. You have all saved a life.
The genuine reaction and hugs to those who stepped up in a massively bad situation kept it from getting worse are what we live for as sports fans. Wins are secondary to life, and this was a great reminder of how fragile life can be, but also how important those that help really are. Kudos for going back to say thank you!
@@blueshift7320 Gave an interview in french saying he wants to be back on track asap. First thing he did once arrived at the hospital was asking how fast he'll be back on track
Hey can anyone help me with this. Actually I recently started watching Formula 1, so i have this doubt: from which position the race restarts in case of accident?? I saw ,in some pages its written: the race restarts from original position which was set at the starting of the race..in some, its written that whatever position of the drivers was at the time of accident, the drivers take the same position when the race starts. So please do clarify my doubt
@@jayantkumarmishra9861 since it was red flagged, the restart order was determined by the drivers position at the moment the signal was sent to drivers and teams that the red flag was displayed. They had to do some adjusting when in the pit lane to get everyone in the correct order for when they went for the second standing start
Now that is how a driver shows his genuine appreciation to those they hope they will never need, but can always rely on to be there when they do. To all the motorsport medical teams and trackside marshals around the world I take my hat off to you, you all deserve more recognition than you are given.
He is so positive and happy. So would I be if I survived such a horrible accident. In every photo and video he smiles and that warms my heart! The respect everyone has for each other, drivers, crew, marshals, everyone involved. Like a real brotherhood. That’s why I love F1 ❤️🏎
Great job guys. Anyone with anything to do with safety of the drivers, car and everyone at the track are the heroes here. Keep up all the fantastic work. Very special moment and great to see Romain smiling again.
How can someone dislike this video? This just shows the human side of racing where there’s more involved than just racing. Absolute joy to see him made it out alive and well.
I have a feeling his left hand is hurting pretty bad usually patients hold it up like that because it helps with the throbbing when it’s very swollen. Amazing he can be so gracious
Don't forget Professor Sid Watkins, who was just as instrumental in many of the safety procedures we see today (the medical car, better medical facilities, medevac helicopters on standby and more).
Romain might not have won a championship, but "This is a win for us!".
He won a junior category I think
@@kilik5713 he won Gp2
sad end to f1 career... :( very positive guy, he deserves more
"Unbelievable everyone, unbelievable!"
You can watch him on his Yoube channel
- you're the man who crossed the road?
- yes.
*instant big hug*
Wholesome F1 moment.
That guy went for it like he does this everyday - straight to cockpit, suppressed the flames at precise spot where the driver was
He deserves the recognition
whereas the other guy was the one with the tiny sprinkler on the other side who was doing nothing. lol.
Maybe he has some slightly burns on his hands.
@@footyball66 He just almost died! Give him a break for not reacting perfectly right away
And yet none of the guys on Formula 1 broadcasts have even mentioned him. I think that without his actions we wouldn’t be seeing Grosjean so happy right now.

Thank YOU
Act as if i said something funny
Hope he gets better in time for abu Dabi
Hope he will race in Abu Dhabi 🥺🥺🤠
Sad fact he is last year in f1 and he can't race the last 2 final races
"Thank you for saving my life" is probably the greatest honour you can receive.
Not probably , *it is the greatest honour* ♥️
Just imagine how Drive To Survive episode will look like when they reach Bahrain...
This season in full will be very entertaining with all the editing. I can’t wait.
No more fitting a title for that episode. It really was a drive to survive, especially for the medical car.
i’m not sure if the crew comes to every race but i sure hope they were there for this one
I'm looking forward to watch the new season
They won't even need special editing or effects. The real thing was crazy enough!
the marshal who aimed his fire extinguisher perfectly at romain: that man deserves a medal and a raise.
The guy who was wafting an extinguisher vaguely in the direction of the car from 20m away got the same promotion
They volunteer so double zero is still zero. Not saying he doesn't deserve it though
He DID get a promotion and a medal from the prince of Bahrain...

You can hear just how heartfelt that was. Get well soon Romain!
I cried like a baby when he said that
Yeah if that doesn't hit you square in the feels nothing will.
It's imposible hate this guy. He's a gentleman. And thanks to every single marshal out there

They’re the most underrated personnel in F1 by far. Super props to them for saving Grosjean’s life and keeping the drivers safe.
And remember a lot of the marshalls are volunteers!
Not trying to be "that guy", but he got out on his own, didn't he? Didn't actually receive any help?
@@megselv6633 For the most part. The firefighter that ran across the track helped create an opening for him to escape, which I think was vital.

If there's no outstanding performances or surprises by any other driver, then Romain gets my vote.

Yes!! Let's do it Bois!

You gotta admit that Romain has the best human being character and he's the most humble driver of the grid.
He is.
Seb is a close second though
seb and charles are both up there aswell
The way charles reacted gave me chills when i was listening to his coms after the crash
grosjean gets a lot of stick but he seems to friendliest and most humble driver on the grid
yea Ive always gotten that impression from him as well, and even more now.
he is
The opposite of Max Verstappen.
@@cracco6628 nice pfp
@John Allen why do you say that?
FINALLY, a video that gives credit to the worker that crossed the track with fire extinguisher in hand. About time he got recognized!!!!

He will, French TV should take him in a heartbeat.
what makes him legend? the fact that he's so bad driver that he almost lost his life because of it?
