Official medical cars photographed during pit-lane operations, including an interview with one of the medics. A pair of vehicles is always at each race circuit, one active and one spare. They are distinguished by the colour of the T-shaped camera pod on the roof (black or yellow). The cars are a familiar sight at the start of each Formula 1 grand prix, as they sit behind the racing cars on the grid and follow them around on the first lap because that is when there is the greatest chance of a collision and injury. As the officials look to remove the amber flashing light bar at the end of the day's operations, you can see the fire extinguishers in the boot. The firefighting capability of the medical cars was enhanced following a review of Romain Grosjean's fiery crash at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix.
