I've got to say that is something I would have happily remained ignorant of. Truly horrific...and that's the censored version
The only way they identified the Marshall was because he didn't check in at the end of the race
truly horrific. On another note watched Senna at the weekend. Never seen the Ratzenburger crash before. That was bad too.

You guys have obviously never volunteered as an official at a motorsport event. Usual internet know-it-alls. Do you thing they train for picking up bits of car, or have the genes specific to doing a track width sprint?I've been going to race tracks and horse events since I was a kid. Marshalling is a VERY serious thing.
And yes they should be instructed on clearing the track and how to do so safely and quickly and given the tools to do so. It is one of their primary tasks.
They may be volunteers and very brave people but they still need to be selected, trained and equipped properly for their own safety and that of the drivers and spectators. Hopefully there will be some backlash to emphasise to the track owners/FIA that they may need to look into their there marshalling and maybe allocate a tiny amount of all those millions to a very important part of motorsport.
Oh and +1 to the mess in the green trousers!
urgh that was a horrible sight!

OMG. How inept do you have to be to become a Canadaian GP steward. Some really retarded, ill-considered judgements that whole weekend. Looks like the organisers just stood outside a supporters club the night before randomly asking for volunteers.
FFS even Wimbledon ball boys are trained to pick up a stray tennis ball 'properly'.Posted 11 months ago # -
Is it just me or do they seem to be getting silly with all this "under investigation" rubbish.
They need to send the officials to a BTCC race - they would have a heart attack

if there is one place you would not want to fall over it would be in front of an F1 car!
I cant think of a car I'd rather fall over in front of. Stupidly good brakes, changes direction quicker than any other car in the world. Driven by someone with insanely quick reactions....
Now a nissan micra driven by a 73 year old granny....

to be honest the best comedy moment of the GP was the fact I was recording it, and while the box is clever enough to keep going if a programme over-runs, its not clever enough to change channels, so I saw 2 hours of no racing, then just as it got going my recording stopped. And it was the best race yet by all accounts...:-(

...isn't likely to be doing the best part of 200mph

I was going to say the same as thekingisdead. How quickly can an F1 car stop from 200mph? And in any case it woudln't be doing 200mph coming around a sharp bend of course.

You're right molgrips. What would it be doing? It would still be going a LOT faster than Granny in her Micra. I know which one I'd rather be in front of.
Whilst this is all hypothetical nonsense and a bit of fun, if you watch the video again you'll notice that for a while the driver isn't sure which way to go and neither is the marshall for that matter. Fast reactions are great, but both parties need to have decided on a mutually advantageous evasive manoeuvre for a happy outcome. It's like trying to avoid someone coming towards you in the street. I've lost count of how many times I've done that silly dance
