"Today is the fourth Chinese Physician's Day . We pay tribute to all medical workers and thank you for protecting your health and life."
Racing Competition In addition to the drivers and racing playing the protagonists on the field, the smooth progress of the competition is also inseparable from the efforts of those track professionals. For example, the safety cars and medical cars on the field are always on standby, just like the guardian of the track, which makes all participants feel at ease.
In the F1 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix, Haas team driver Roman Grosjen collided with many opponents during the first lap of the race, causing the vehicle to lose control, rush out of the track, and hit the track guardrail at high speed.
This severe collision caused the vehicle to break and disintegrate directly and a terrifying explosion occurred. In such a serious accident, Grosjen immediately escaped with the help of the staff who arrived later and suffered only minor injuries.
This intuitively proves that with the advancement of technology and the continuous development of automotive sports, motorsports are becoming safer. The HALO system of
F1, the roll cage of rally , the explosion-proof fuel tank, six-point seat belt, as well as the racing fire suits, HANS system worn by the driver, etc., all protect the life safety of the drivers well.
However, the storm on the court is changing rapidly, and the successful completion of the game is sometimes only a slight difference between safety accidents. So, after the accident, how will the event team carry out rescue? The rescue stadium race, as the name implies, refers to the racing car racing in a specified closed field, and the road surface is generally asphalt flat. The track race is the most enjoyable racing car in car competitions. Because its venues are concentrated, the exciting racing scenes can be seen at a glance, and it is easy to broadcast live on TV and the Internet, so it is highly favored by sponsors and car fans. Such as F1, CEC (China Automobile Endurance Championship), CTCC ( China Touring Car Championship ) are all venue competitions. In the field race, when a car accident occurs, the event team will present the yellow flag or red flag as soon as possible, and will signal other cars to give way or suspend the competition. If the accident is not serious , the racer will escape by himself while ensuring safety. Racing drivers have professional qualities in racing safety, can reasonably judge the safety of the car, and have skills such as quick escape. Of course, the rescuers of the event will also go to the rescue quickly. When there is a serious accident in the competition and causes dangerous parking of vehicles on the track, or there are car body fragments, the safety car and medical car on standby on the field will receive a notification from the control center and quickly detach. At this time, the referee clicks on the "SC" brand - safety car and medical car (will intervene at the same time if necessary), and intervenes in the track while ensuring safety. If the car catches fire, a fire truck will also be asked for assistance. After arriving at the scene of the accident, the medical representative will check the physical and mental status of the accident driver and report to the control center. If equipment rescue or professional rescue is required, the control center will be requested for assistance. For example, if a driver has serious trauma or coma after an accident, he or she will ask the ambulance to intervene. When the driver is rescued, he will return to the rescue center by taking a medical car, the track staff will clean up the track, and the control center will notify the race to resume. Since 2000, all of the safety car of Formula 1 are driven by racer Baynd Melander In the stadium, there is a car not as eye-catching as the champion car and the champion driver, but it is the eternal NO.1 on the F1 field. This is the F1 safety car (guiding car) - no matter which F1 champion, it must be ranked behind it. Like F1 racing cars, safety cars and medical cars have their own P-rooms, which usually start at the pit area and sometimes at the end. There is an AMG mechanical group in the car room to manage the two cars. With their speed and performance comparable to racing cars, they have become a different "scenery" in the F1 arena. The roof of the security car of F1 has warning lights similar to police cars, and the colors of the lights are yellow and green. When a crash, failure or weather breaks, the safety car will drive onto the track and guide each car at the fastest speed until the track returns to safety. When the safety car is out, all racing cars on the track cannot overtake each other , and must follow the safety car. If you overtake intentionally or accidentally while the safety car is still on the field, you will be sentenced to or even cancelled. But even when the safety car appears on the track, the car behind cannot slow down too slowly, because if the speed is too slow, the sensitive high-tech engine of the F1 car will malfunction and the tires will lose their grip. Therefore, safety cars must have the same speed driving ability as F1 racing cars, and many times safety cars must lead the way at an extreme speed of 240 km/h. It is truly the fastest "rescue vehicle" in the world. The first "safety car" was made its debut at the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix. A yellow Porsche 914 was inserted with a yellow flag at the rear of the car and was driven by retired Canadian rider Eppie Wietzes. But at that time, the safety car appeared in the wrong position from the beginning, resulting in a chaos in ranking. After the game, it took several hours to figure out who the real champion was. Due to the chaos caused by the debut of the safety car and the reduction of competition accidents, F1 basically did not officially use safety car in the following twenty years. It was only re-activated at the Monaco Grand Prix between 1981 and 1983. Lamborghini Countach became the Monaco station. The safety car for three consecutive years was not officially adopted by F1 until 1993. The tournament required that each race be equipped with a safety car, but there was no regulations on the use of a unified model at that time. Brazilian local driver Elton Sena After the race, he took a safety car around the field and greeted the audience By 1995, models with larger horsepower and higher performance were introduced as safety cars, including Porsche 911 GT2. Porsche 911 GT2 Starting from the Belgian Station in 1996, Mercedes-Benz completed their first show as a safety car, using a Mercedes C36 AMG, opening the era when Mercedes dominates the F1 safety car. In 1997, Mercedes began to monopolize the F1 safety car and became the only provider of safety car, until now. It is worth noting that in the 2021 season, Aston Martin provides safety cars and medical cars for F1 for the first time. Of course, it's with Mercedes. Mercedes changed their AMG paint from silver to red. F1 medical car is currently driven by Alan van der Merwe Compared with safety cars with higher exposure frequency in the field, medical cars are less often seen. But the medical car is like the patron saint on the F1 field, saving the driver's life as soon as possible when the accident occurs. One of the most important members of medical vehicles is FIA F1 Medical Officer Ian Roberts (Ian Roberts), Medical Vehicle Driver Alan van der Merwe (left) and Ian Roberts Doctors assist Romain Grosjean to escape danger Medical vehicles can usually be equipped with a medical team of 4 people and a full set of medical first aid facilities. In the main race of the F1 Grand Prix, the first lap of all vehicles start at the same time is often the most dangerous lap. The further you get, the more traffic becomes, the more dense it is. drivers' starting strategies are also different, and the traffic conditions are very complicated. Collision accidents are very likely to occur. Even when the speed of the first lap rises, there will be cases where the rear vehicle wants to overtake using the low-voltage zone at the rear of the vehicle. If one of the front and rear vehicles does not handle it properly, an accident will also occur. So, in the F1 races in recent years, we often see this medical car (chasing car) at the end of the big team. In fact, this medical car will not only start at the same time as these fastest racing cars in the world, but also must complete the first lap with them, and then silently enter the pit area and standby until the race is successfully completed. It can be seen that whether it is a safety car or a medical car, it is the hero behind the scenes on the field. is like our medical workers. Whether it is the vaccinator who is fighting on the front line or silently paying under the scorching sun, he is the guardian saint who protects our lives. Today is the fourth Chinese Physician's Day, and we pay tribute to all medical workers. also hopes that no matter which stadium you are in, everyone can complete the competition smoothly and safely!
