Index – Sports – Ricciardo: a scandalous way to repeat the Grosjean accident



[ad_1]

Grosjean only survived with great luck after breaking the lane barrier with his race car, the Haas splitting in two and the spilled fuel immediately caught fire.

I am outraged and disappointed that so many times they have shown the repetition of the accident, the great fire and the damaged car. Then if that wasn’t enough they will also show the images from the internal camera

Said Ricciardo, who did not understand why the other drivers had to watch this during the forced break, knowing that he would have to sit back in the car in an hour.

Your family also sees this series of images, as do our loved ones and relatives. That’s not a nice thing, it’s not part of the fun anymore.

Said the Australian driver, who said American Liberty Media, which owns the commercial rights to F1, was lucky there were no major issues.

It was like watching a series of Hollywood movies, and that’s not right. Show it the next day, but not right away.

Exclaimed the Renault driver.

A Formula One spokesman said in this regard that the serious accident recordings will only be repeated if the race court confirms that the competitor has not been seriously injured.

Valtteri Bottas, the Finnish driver from the world champion Mercedes stable, agreed with Ricciardo.

I understand that the people, the spectators, want to see, but there has to be a limit, because this case could have turned out much worse.

He declared.

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, on the other hand, says that while the shots were scary, Liberty Media has good reason to do the replays.

If they don’t, they simply risk showing others something that is out of control.

Wolff said.

After the Grosjean accident, the Bahrain race lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes because the tape barrier had to be repaired by professionals. The race continued and ended with the victory of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).

Grosjean was taken to the hospital, escaped with minor burns, but remained indoors overnight.
