Nick Heidfeld's Renault R31 innards after the fire and explosion.

Hey guys, after so many vews, I thought you might be interested in seeing the inside of the car with my recorder zoomed in at the maximum. I'm very sorry for the unstable shaking but being zoomed in, every milimeter can seem like a few feet of movement.

Also, you can see the young marshall who got his leg hurt in the explosion. He is on the other side of the barrier and he doesn't seem to be looking at his leg. I believe that he's holding the pain and trying to be a 'man' or he's not hurt.

I hope you enjoy. I will post my best videos with full HD when I get back to Canada. Stay tuned. Thank you.

can´t they just put red flags until they turn the fire off and put away the car and the debris?

it was very dangerous for the marshalls to be at the very border of the circuit and at the exit of the boxes, as i remember, Alonso almost hit the lotus car when they were towing it inside the pits

[elzapatita]

@jorn89 anyway, thru the years, F1 hasn't showed to much care for the marshalls or even the drivers, as drivers can die in the qualis and nevertheless, the race will resume on sunday, like they say, show must go on.

@jamesbrassill Senna died in a Williams... engine was Renault

[armandozapata]

@jamesbrassill yup, that's exactly the most controversy case that F1 and FIA have had.

[jamesbrassill]

@elzapatita Ayarton Sennas death is a very good example of this. It was even a Renault car. Roland Ratzenberger was killed Saturday fallowed by Ayrton Sennas death during the race the next day.

Good year for Renault, not a good year for the Lotus team...

[WarPigBattles]

@MurphysLaww you mean renault

[MurphysLaww]

not a good year for Lotus...

@elzapatita

Agreed but I guess they didn't do it because it would interfere to much with the race result and because it wasn't in a corner. They could have put two cars in front of the marshals a couple of meters before them, like a temporary barrier.
