I have never seen an accident that bad in my lifetime and for him to jump out is an outstanding achievement for all those continuing to push the safety forwards. 5 years ago that would have been a different story.

Seb on Romain's crash: "I haven't looked at the images a lot because I really didn't want to. But the main thing is he got out – I don't know how to be honest. The guardrail is not supposed to fail like that".#BahrainGP 🇧🇭 #F1 #Vettel pic.twitter.com/f5tQPdhje6

Oh. My. God. @RGrosjean may be the luckiest man on the planet today. So so happy to see him get out of that car. He would not have escaped from that a few years ago. The @fia’s work in the past 5 decades has saved his life. #Lucky

Top F1 Reporters Reacts to the scary accident.
The front half of the car is still embedded in the barrier, on its side. I have never seen anything like that. Goodness me

A testament to the increased safety of F1 cars. Grosjean has no business walking away from that crash but he does miraculously. The Haas car broken in half after crashing into the barriers. Haven't seen anything like that in years. I'm shook looking back at the replays #BahrainGP
