Jos Verstappen pitstop fire 1994

[guille8001500]

everyone run and the pilot gets into the fire

[blendon8]

amaai!!!

[10secondfunnys]

when the gas sprayed he waved to his crew to back off when he was the one who should have ran that was coragoius

[akkashtin]

@10secondfunnys I thought he was waving his hand because it smelled bad..? mabye... And notice how like four people of the left scatter just as they see the gas.

[105dou67]

the cars on fire so everyone just leaves him there

[samoaramortiimatii]

During his first scheduled pitstop during the race, fuel leaked onto the car after the fuel hose was disconnected, setting the car, with Verstappen in it, ablaze for a brief period. As was usual at the time, Verstappen had slightly opened the visor of his helmet for the pit stop, and he walked away with slight burns to his nose.

[Kokosiak1]

that's a quite frightening stop

[pavoSNK]

did he survive ?

[oldcabbage1]

i hope not pavo you stupid little cunt

[pavoSNK]

lol

[Dronoman]

yep

[toteZitrone]

@pavoSNK opfcourse :D But must have been a strange feeling. Iw as 4 years old when I watched this, but I still can remember evr well. I think it's the biggest fire in the last F1 years.

[jwdogfst]

Benneton's cheating in 1994 could have cost lives. The team should have been suspended the year for illegally removing safety features on the fuel hose to speed-up pit stops.

[pr3typ0ny]

@jwdogfst that might be a bit extreme, it was an accident. and i dont believe there is a law saying when you can yank the fuel hose. You should just be glad they're alive, the chances of them dieing there where slim due to: there suites, they're not on the track where its hard to get help too, if they did light up, there is probly a good sorce of flame retardent nearby and paramedices would be there emidetly.

[Ferrarina94]

miracolato!

[NexusOblivion]

OUCH.

[erasmoharry]

è MORTO IL PILOTA???

[HINKLEY81]

No.

[Psicosimpatico]

il pilota è vivo e vegeto -.-

[Articscape317]

he WAS lucky... the fireproof shit was made in 1994...

[wesseldebacker]

yeah but then the fire i an gasfire its not water to get it out and wth he standings 15 sec in fire its very hot at all and someone of the pits run to inside

[Mongoose1358]

it's no surprise he survived, they wore fireproof suits and helmets and the whole pit crew was on the scene to help him

[saintconnnor]

still badass

[nederlandsepizza]

I was a feel month old in 1994.

and it's great that he was first on the podium in F1 in the next race

[djdecca]

o god did he died?

[hippy00hater]

Nope He did not! He is still racing! In the smaller Dutch leages I thought.

[rientex]

wow. it's a miracle he's still alive man

[maartenvdvNL]

LOL xD no he's still alive

moreover, he's gonna drive the 24 hours of Le Mans next month, if I'm right..

[wuodland]

no.

[14wasp]

He is going to drive in the 24H today

#008 aston martin

[RobertsDigital]

hahahahahaha 0:08 look at the guy on the right....he was jumping like he'd been bitten by a 1000 army ants...

[8guns7]

hahahaha

[rnbplayahstyle]

lol yeah

[nlikos2007]

He was fault gas everywhere and fire up!

[genjishikibu]

I remember seeing this live while doing my homework.

I think this caused quite a scandal at the time, because the re-fuelling of cars ahd only just been reintroduced. Previously, all cars had to carry enough fuel for the duration of the race. Opponents of re-fuelling based their opinions on the danger factor and this incident seemed to justify their belief.

[rtk316ytshooter94]

Damn...The dude's lucky to be alive after that one. After reading & seeing some crashes. If that'd been a few years before, he'd probably be dead.

[1nvidia1]

wow lol in 1994 i just born xD.. but lol it's good he escape from the hot flames ;d

[daimondnight]

did he died?

[Yannick19956]

No.

[tonybek1]

but this was not 1994 i think

it was after the year 2000 but i do not know when

[DoMw94]

it was 1994 coz in 2000 and 2001 verstapen drove an orange arrows this is a benneton in this video

[tonybek1]

oh but i remember something the same like this happened after the year 2000

[la9305]

what did hapen whit him?did he die?

[ek0ss]

No, he didnt.

[DemonREC1995]

Verstappen had slightly opened the visor of his helmet for the pit stop, and he walked away with slight burns to his nose

[damo1128]

Wow shows you how flammable it is, no open flame, only hot engine/exhaust and bang

[Halfback1990]

i have see this live.

[tobb80]

bullshit

[Halfback1990]

realy i was a small kid but i see this

[YouKnowThatBaldGuy]

if his name ends in 1990, im guessing that he was born in 1990 and as it happened it 1994, he would have been 4 and he said he was a small kid so hes not lying

[no8do2008]

wow

[sebastianos182]

Michael "dick vigarist" Schumacher CHEAT !!!

[bu11et4mivalentine]

ROFL

poor guy

im guessing that crew_man_person got the sack :D

[mclaren250]

oh my god

[Fabregasanddagunners]

What about the crew?

[ExpertGuitarHeroes]

thank god he liived

[dellerbeller]

Does anyone know what happened next?

[Albersfan]

Jos stepped out of the car with only minor burns on his face because he had opened his visor of his helmet when he stopped the car. These burns are now completely gone and Jos had won the 24 hr of Le Mans this year in the LMP2 classe.

[BlueBlazer89]

@Albersfan his visor is clearly down, he does reach for it but doesnt lift it up

[quikhobo11]

OMFG HOLY SHIT

[360expert]

WOW SHIT!!
