Anyone watching the Bahrain Grand prix?

Just me then.

Not watching but just seen the reports! And photos!
He was lucky to get out

I will be on C4 later on as I gave up Sky Sports and Movies channels and I save £46 a month!!

His car is in two pieces. It pierced the barrier. Lucky, lucky man.

Yes...am actually in goosebumps...what a miracle!!

Yes shocking crash. State of the car - he’s very lucky to have walked away from that. My heart was in my mouth when I saw the fireball. Thank goodness for fireproof stuff and the halo and quick acting fire marshals!

Oh sorry-feel like I have done a spoiler now. I didn't know what we were watching it on.

I assume there will need to be a huge enquiry into everything. I don't think a car should do that, and the wheels shouldn't come off. They are on about the 'halo' but that seems to be burnt to a crisp.

Will be watching after the football.

How do you walk away from that!

I have asked MNHQ to put a spoiler alert in the title. Sorry for not realising it wasn't on 'normal telly' we are watching on Sky 1 apparently.

Sorry Sky F1 or something.

Unbelievable. Never saw a crash like that. So happy he walked away !

So, so scary

Horrible to watch, he looks good ok, thank god.

One of the worst crashes I saw was the Belgian GP the year Damon Hill won it-but that was multiple cars and it was sheet rain.

I am so happy Grosjean escaped that. He could have been decapitated.

How the fuck he lived let alone walked away I don't know. That would've been death even ten years ago without the halo.

I've been to the Bahrain GP the last two years and was feeling a little emotional already about missing my old home, then I just burst into tears after I saw him get in the ambulance. I'm 40 weeks pregnant so think I can blame it mostly on that...

Thank god he's alright, he's incredibly lucky. The drivers and crew look very shaken.

My brother just sent me pictures it looks terrible! Hes well into his f1 and said in all the years hes watched it (21!) hes never seen anything like it

oh @addler

No, now read about it and glad no one appears to be seriously hurt.

There's a lot of mending going on, are they hoping to restart the race?

I think so, which is very impressive. Not sure I'd feel great about going back out now though.

@Sparklingbrook

I think we both said "holy shit!!" at the same time here. Shocking!!

He's so lucky he didn't break his legs as he'd never have got out.
DH is very shaken after watching it live.

addler ...bless you 💐I am not pregnant but I burst into tears as well...a miracle this guy survived 😊
