took no further action and deemed it "a racing incident", with neither driver in particular to blame. It was the second major accident Burti had sustained in more than a month as he barrel rolled twice after colliding with the rear of Michael Schumacher's car at the start of the German Grand Prix in July 2001. The accident was a talking point for days after the race, with Alain Prost noting that Burti's impact would have been fatal about ten years earlier, and former driver Jacques Laffite praised the strength of the modern Formula One car's monocoque. The Jaguar team principal Niki Lauda told the press he was unhappy with the inaction and conduct of the track marshals, "The marshals were not operating properly. Eddie had to take over and basically tell them what to do. He was really part of the rescue there, which normally drivers shouldn't do but he had to do it, since they didn't seem to have an idea what they need to do." Irvine said he had not seen Burti attempting to pass him on the outside but was relieved that Burti was conscious. Burti sustained facial and head bruising and he underwent a brain scan, which revealed a head injury though no swelling of the brain. Gary Hartstein, a member of the FIA's medical delegation, predicted that Burti would take up to two months to complete a full recovery. Burti underwent further tests and was placed in an induced coma until he left intensive care on 4 September. He was discharged from hospital six days later and returned to Monaco to continue his recuperation. Burti was replaced by the Czech International Formula 3000 driver Tomáš Enge for the rest of the season. He stated in subsequent interviews that he cannot recall the crash. The effects of the accident caused Burti to suffer from seizures and amnesia for the next four months, both of which required medication. The FIA analysed the accident to enhance safety and outlawed the creation of holes in helmets allowing drinking tubes and radio communication wires to pass through. The incident was used as a case study in the development of the halo. In an interview with Autosport in 2019, Burti attributed his survival to vehicle and circuit safety improvements made after Ayrton Senna's fatal accident at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
