And a big fire there, as they exit it out of Turn 3, and that looks very nasty indeed, and unsurprisingly, that is a red flag.
Now, this is after Turn 3, and you see Grosjean, one car out there, and then Grosjean to the right-hand side.
He's going straight. The car's broken in half.
No wonder the fuel came out of it. I said the fuel was in the middle of the car, and it's literally...
Whoa! And he's just gone straight across Daniel Kvyat there, as you can see.
That's extraordinary.
It's just... the car...
It's gone through the barrier, you see. The car's gone through the barrier, and that's then been sort of used as a wrench, as it were, to literally rip the car in half.
Wow, there's Romain Grosjean.
That's unbelievable.
That's just brilliant to see Romain sat in the medical car now and talking away.
There was a tyre that came off and went over the barrier as well, and there's that tyre, as I said, that had gone leaping over the barrier and has ended up somewhere in the desert.
You can see the tethers have done some work, because they're absolutely shredded, but they can't be infinitely strong, the tethers holding the wheels on.
Romain went with the front of the chassis underneath the barriers.
Extraordinary.
Well, the halo saved his life.
He's gone to the hospital now for the check-ups and x-rays and things like this, but he has got minor burns, but he's conscious.
He's on his way to hospital, and I don't know more of it. I didn't speak with him direct. It's more important to get him to the hospital, but he's OK.
If there is anything else, they just will find out in hospital, but he's all right.
