The Fia guy was talking with RUS explaining there was no way that the car could be removed for repair once on the track service low loader.

Senna (with undamaged car) stopped on track to save Comas (damaged car) at Spa-Francorchamps in 1992. He switched off the main switch inside Comas's car to limit the risk of fire. Car still on full throttle could have exploded any second, taking away the lives of both Comas and Senna.
Two years later (1994 - Imola): lethal crash of Senna. Comas stormed away out of the pitlane despite the red flag, to get to the accident scene. But it was in vain (and Senna was already in the hands of marshals and medical teams). See from 10:03 onwards. It first looked like a major pitlane error, but it was Comas who tried to help the very brave pilot who had come to his rescue in 1992.
