Gus Greensmith crashed and was stuck in the car for a few minutes. Marshals didn't go near the car and stopped spectators from helping because there was no green light from the hybrid system lit up on the car.
Greensmith wasn't happy at the marshals staying away. "You had one fking job!"

I'm not familiar with the detail of the hybrid regs but if there was no green light then surely they did their one job just fine?
Rain coming in now.. this could get messy.
Edit:
According to this the light was green, in which case he's every right to feel aggrieved.

It doesn't actually, it does highlight a lack of training and understanding of the marshals involved.
Car is on fire, system is showing live, driver is trapped. What do you do?fttm said:
Clusterfk by the marshals , and the FIA agree . However as posted about the chances of a car catching fire are not very remote, only takes long grass/hot exhaust or fractured fuel line and bingo . Situations like this need addressing pronto .
Your original question was about the car on fire crew trapped and the battery system showing red and that is what I responded to.Drumroll said:
