Two minutes and forty-five seconds from crash to emergence. 

It's like someone said in the comments section, the safety rules for these guys is written in blood- literally.

Roger Williamson burned to death in his car in 1973. No one was properly trained to deal with this so they just stood around while his teammate attempted in futility to save him. This is how far racing safety has evolved and gives you an idea of what Jackie Stewart was up against to force change.
