F1 EXPLAINS: How, when and where is the F1 Medical Car deployed?

When F1 drivers crash, the FIA Medical Car rushes to the scene. It's a high-performance machine with a racing driver at the wheel and a doctor in the passenger seat.

But how, when and where is it deployed? In the latest episode of F1 Explains the Medical Car crew, FIA Medical Delegate Dr Ian Roberts and driver Bruno Correia, answer your questions about their vital jobs.

They tell Katie Osborne and Christian Hewgill about responding to crashes, assessing driver injuries and the part of a Grand Prix when they're most likely to be called into action.

Dr Ian explains how he went from working in a hospital to racetracks around the world, Bruno tells the story of swapping a racing car for the Aston Martin and Mercedes Medical Cars, and we hear what drivers are like after a crash.
