F1 safety is incredible and this is a crazy one-off, in decades of racing I don't think we've had the same happen. I don't think it necessitates big changes to F1 personally, it's such a freak occurrence that trying to prevent any such thing happening would require over-draconian changes.

It was only a lap after Sutil's crash wasn't it... which is about 2min. The crane was right at the far side of the gravel as well.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Sutil was just behind Bianchi when he crashed. Then the next lap, Bianchi went in the same place. So that's how long it took.
Maybe they could have done it slightly faster, but that's not really the point. I wonder if that tractor thing could have remained behind the barrier and reached over to recover Sutil's car. That's something that'll get talked about I imagine. They don't send tractors onto the track in Monaco: they have cranes.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

probably should have been a safety car.
However there was concerns due to the delays to the race and the weather fronts moving in that the race may have had to have been abandoned.
But 'F1' did not want that to happen so they potential took risks they would not normally take.Comment

This medical update isn't very good,

I heard elsewhere that few recover from 'diffuse axonal injury'. The article here gives some insights:
