    Looks like his legs were very lucky. Amazing as he would have had much more trouble getting out.
    Almost looks like fuel filler cap failed.

    His last race I assume. Remarkable that the car went through the barrier, remarkable he has only minor but no doubt painful injuries. What a way to finish an F1 career. Very pleased he was OK. Long time since we have seen that.

    This could be interesting restart. Bit of a change in order. Winners and losers.

    Crazy isn't it. So glad he is ok. But typical way to end his F1 career.

    Grosjean was a bloody lucky boy today. Thankfully the monocoque did its job. That barrier on the other hand could have contributed to a terrible outcome. Surely there are better options.

    Not sure the protec and conveyer belt would be better. If he had speared that he might not have been able to get out!
    He was soo lucky, well lucky and safety kit worked.

    No Bottas in the picture but looking like Perez is the one picking up 3rd rather than Albon. Given Red Bulls pace advantage this sort of form is what loses you the seat.

    Although he is gaining a little
