Revelation άλυ images, reminiscent of cinema blockbuster that you could hardly imagine having a happy ending. And yet I had with advanced technology used in the magical world of Formula 1 to prove to be a savior for the French. After the shots that showed his car Haas Cut in half, With your cabin stuck in the barriers in a fire pit, few expected that that same night, the 34-year-old Could you speak to us with a smile! It so happened that a few hours after his horrible accident, where he actually cheated death, he shared a reassuring video from the bed of the BDF Military Hospital in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Grosjean had burns on his hands and ankles, but his examinations showed that he had no further injuries. But let’s see how the accident happened, what dramatized it, and for what reasons it did not become an accident. It all happened in the first round of the race in “Jewel of the Gulf”, where after a series of car contacts in the usual “squeeze” in the first laps after the start, Grozan lost control on turn 3 causing it to hit the barriers with terrible force.
Unfortunately at the specific point on the track, where a car is unlikely to come out, dThere was no tire retaining wall or advanced TechPro barriers They have a foam material that absorbs impact forces but traditional ARMCO barriers. At the time of the conflict the Haas VF-20 had developed a speed of 221 km / h while the relevant sensors showed that the 34-year-old received momentary forces on the order of 53G.
The car broke in two, an image not ordinary but reasonable for that reason severity of the conflict, which also resulted in a fuel leak that shocking fire that consumes. At the start of the race, the cars carry 110 kg of fuel, however there are safety valves in the tanks and what we saw was caused by the fuel in the fuel system.
The racing uniform withstood hell
One of the reasons Grozan survived, it was his fireproof uniform. Made of durable Nomex material, according to the specifications can withstand temperatures of even 800 degree centigrade, for more than 11 seconds. Drivers’ underwear and socks are made of the same material. which is crucial as the Frenchman’s left racing boot stayed in the cockpit. Similarly, the helmet also has an oxygen supply system, especially for these cases. The only part sensitive to μέρος is the mask, which, although used materials with proverbial strength, had almost melted.
The Halo system and how it saves lives
Technology … shield!
These turned out to be part of a superhero costume, but it was also necessary impact resistant shield. This was originally about “bathtub” cab designed to withstand almost unimaginable loads, and left intact, and the system “aura”. The halo introduced in sports in 2018, with the aim of protecting the driver’s head.
The irony is that at the time, the talented driver objected to enforcing its use, which he did not stop admitting in the hospital video, thanking everyone who worked for its creation and decided its mandatory use. This is a Mr.made of impressively rigid titanium, which is shown in the pictures after the fire is extinguished, having been kept intact between the sheets by the barriers.
Some of Grozan’s colleagues highlighted how different things would be if there was no “halo”. The truth is that the above allowed him to maintain his senses, which is crucial for his salvation. So, having like everyone Drivers are trained in quick release and survival instinct. to give him more vigor, he left the cabin alone.
His image, emerging from the flames and jumping the barriers, Leaving hell fire behind, it will accompany you in sports. Not as a picture of tragedy, but as proof that current technology can save lives, in situations where in the past there would have been no hope for those involved.
The self-sacrifice of those who were at the scene of the accident
We must also insist on the heroes who rushed to Help the Haas driver. After the start of the Grand Prix, the medical car follows the cars until the end of the first lap, when it returns to the pits where it remains in a state of readiness. So while following the “gladiators” in the arena of Shakir, arrived at the crash site a few seconds later. Formula 1 Chief Physician Ian RobertsHe approached the flames with self-denial. He pointed out to the track judge that he was at the point where he was pointing the extinguisher exactly and this really pushed the flames. paving the way for Grozan. And when the Frenchman was released and tried to jump over the barrier, Roberts was by his side even though he was not wearing the proper protective gear.
At the same time, the driver of the medical car, Alan van der Merwe, he had grabbed the fire extinguisher from the rear of the vehicle and rushed to help. The image with Grozan walking, even with support, brought too much relief. There is no doubt, yesterday or French cheated death.
