The spectacular crash of Romain Grosjean on Sunday at the Bahrain Grand Prix moved everyone.

The images, broadcast by televisions and the organizers of Formula 1, quickly turned on a loop.

Much too much according to Daniel Ricciardo, who believes that this did not serve the drivers remaining in the race and their families.

The Australian Renault driver had some very strong words after the race.

“I am disgusted and disappointed with F1 to have shown this the way they did and looped the images of the fire, of the car cut in half and then, as if that were not enough, its on-board camera.

What need to see that? He asked.

We will resume the race in an hour, his family must see this, our families must see this.

It's playing with everyone's emotions, it's unfair, it's not entertainment.

If he is obviously happy to see Grosjean unscathed, Ricciardo had a terrible time the rest of the day.

“It made me angry, I still am.

What mismanagement!

It felt like a game but it's not, he regretted.

We're lucky he's still here, the outcome could have been very different.

Showing that like we're in Hollywood isn't okay.

Maybe the day after the race, but not today.
