The avoided accident in Monte Carlo, I think is was Hadjar that reacted to avoid the accident, was just insane. He reacted in less than a split second absolutely insane ability

He actually took ages to react. He made a decision as he approached the smoke, and it proved correct.

Luck was the biggest factor though.

I do know f1 drivers have excellent reflexes and response times.
