 driver's Dallara F304 under braking for turn 3. The impact launched Moreno's car into a series of rolls and came to rest on its side beside the tyre barrier.

Winslow, also ended up in the gravel, but knew that Moreno had had a big crash. He ran to the aid of his rival.

I moved to the right to defend for the corner really early. When I touched the brakes for the corner I felt a jolt when Moreno hit me and I saw him overtaking me in the air. It was a light touch, but enough to take my rear wing off and I ended up in the gravel. I could see that Moreno had had a big one and went to help. When I got to his car it was leaning against the barrier, and his head was right where the barrier meets the ground so he couldn't get out. I managed to squeeze between the car and the barrier. I could hear some marshals shouting fire and then I saw that the fuel line had been broken and the fuel pump was spewing out petrol. It was like one of those moments in a film when the camera focuses in on a danger. It was pumping fuel everywhere. I was talking to him but although his belts were undone he couldn't get out. Fortunately it was my car from last year, so I knew where the fuel pump switch was and could turn it off. I honestly thought that he was going to burn and there wasn't anything I could do but watch it happen, because I couldn't move the car an inch. Fortunately I just managed to help to dislodge him, and as we ran from the car it just burst into flames. I don't know how we managed to get him out of such a small gap, but if he'd been in there any longer he would have burned. Thinking about what could have happened makes me sick to my stomach.

The Indonesian was sent to hospital for a precautionary check, but was amazingly uninjured from such a massive accident. Winslow hopped into his spare car for the restart, and won his 5th race of the weekend. Moreno paid tribute to the valour of Winslow, and also his quick-thinking: "I ran into the back of James and the next thing I knew I was looking directly up at the sky. Then I heard James shouting at me. I owe my life to James because I was trapped in my car."
