I so wish Niki Lauda was still here to see this today. So many things were learned and improved as a result of his tragedy, including having oxygen in the cockpit. It's really incredible that the sport has come so far in safety that this crash and especially the fire was so shocking. It's also a testament to the teams and FIA that all of the preventions worked exactly as they were supposed to when most needed. This could not occur with preparation, practice and continuous focus.
Now, about that track marshal who darted across the track in front of Lando to extinguish Checo's fire is another thing!
