i guess this accident will change some of the barriers in every track.. or increasing the halo strength and cars bolting points.. such a crazy scary moment that has super high G's and fire.. Grosjean is lucky to be alive and at the same thanks to all safety regs up until this year..

i guess it was 3L MK even if the fire looks pretty intense for 3L.. but one way or another its a race fuel that ignites easier and burns in higher temps.. and if its like 3 gals it means more than 11 liters it means its like more or less 10% of the full load of fuel.. probably there ll be some changes with the collectors capacity or somehow where its placed etc in future.. combination of worst scenario possible but at least cockpit wasnt upside down then it d be very very nasty...
