Thank heavens they are seriously investigating the poor medical

I don't think they could have got the medical car there any quicker without
red-flagging the race.

They could if they should take (another) queue from ChampCar/IRL: adopt
a professional "Safety Team". A team that (1) travels with the circus,
and (2) are stationed about the track in strategic location.

In the event of a major shunt, the crew heads to the scene as soon as it
is reported, even before the SC is called and the medical car can roll.

To be honest; I've always been surprised that the FIA, with all the
safety rules in place, they appear to have the worse plans in place for
driver safety _after_ an incident.

Just my 2-cents...
