What the petition asks
Dr Ian Roberts risked his life by stepping into the flames of a burning F1 car at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix in order to provide Romain Grosjean with urgent medical care after his horrific crash at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix. Many people believe these actions are worthy of the George Medal
This was a very brave and selfless act, committed only in the interests of someone else.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept petitions calling for honours for specific individuals, including giving them a medal.
