Grosjean's crash reminded me of when I was competing with Formula SAE back in '14 and watched a university's car catch fire while driving on course. Potential fuel rail failure. The bolt in their harness quick release supposedly had worked its way a little loose, and the driver couldn't release the harness. So the driver was engulfed in flames waving his arms until a course worker got to him with an extinguisher, and someone else cut him free. I heard the driver made it out relatively okay but with some second degree burns. They were wearing nomex suit, gloves, shoes, but man it was really scary to watch.
