Grosjean is very lucky. While there is no doubt the halo saved him, having the medics so close on hand had to have helped. Scary stuff.
It was good that the coverage didn't show anything further until they knew he was out of danger.
Was Rosberg lucky he was in the same car as Hamilton? He is the only bloke who has been able to beat him for the title. Bottas is not up to the same standard as Hamilton, nobody is, but he's no slouch.
In order to get into F1 you have to be a good driver....even if you pay for your own drive, you still have to be a good driver. The majority of the blokes who are there have won championships upon championships since they were like 6yo's in carts. The notion of being lucky or a crap driver is ignoring what it takes to get there.
re grosjean...
That is the reason the medical car starts at the back of the grid for each race, its the fastest way to get them to the scene of an accident quickly....and there are more accidents on lap 1 than any other lap.
How Grosjean was able to stay conscious despite being put through 50G+ of stopping force is a miracle in itself. That, along with the halo, is the reason he is alive.
