Even if damage to the Merc was minimal, I seriously doubt that anyone would hook up a strap to the RB without Lewis out of the car. Any bad swing of the car on top could send it the drivers direction. Unless he couldn't get out, they would likely just get the top car stable and get the driver out.
And once the driver is out of the car, I can't think of any time where cars were untangled and then a driver got back in and drove off. I'm fairly certain that once the driver is out, they are going to be calling it a day.
As far as accident danger.... back at Silverstone people argued that it shouldn't matter and risk to the drivers was only showing emotional response. How quickly things change when the roles of who might be at danger are reversed.

Ex-Bridgestone man questions ‘bias with certain stewards’
Date published: September 17 2021 - Michelle Foster
The stewards declared Verstappen was “predominantly” to blame for Sunday’s crash.
However, former Bridgestone F1 tyre man Van de Grint disagrees, saying both drivers could have done something to avoid a collision.
“If we have to describe the crash, I think it’s a racing incident,” he said in RTL GP’s Slipstream podcast.
“What you can expect, what we predicted months ago. These two didn’t give anything.
“Max could have used the escape road, Hamilton could have left a bit more space. Neither wanted to. Each had their reason for that too.”

'Clear I'm in his head!' Max Verstappen fumed at Lewis Hamilton's 'silly comment'
By Charlie Bradley
15:29, Sat, Sep 18, 2021 | UPDATED: 15:29, Sat, Sep 18, 2021
Max Verstappen is putting up a big challenge to seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton this season, and the two drivers have clashed on the track on multiple occasions. Just last weekend, at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, Verstappen and Hamilton came together at the first chicane of the famous track, leading to both drivers retiring from the race. Red Bull has continued the war of words this week as they defend their Dutch driver, who received a three-place grid penalty for the next race in Russia. Red Bull chief Helmut Marko has accused Hamilton of putting on a “show”.
He said: “It was a normal racing accident, all the stories around it were pulled by Mercedes,” Marko told Sport24 Auto. “Verstappen had already got off when Hamilton tried to get out of the gravel trap with the return. The medical car saw this and drove on.
“And then a show is pulled off that poor Hamilton is suddenly injured, et cetera.”
Other drivers have also offered their view on the incident – Ferrari's Carlos Sainz has said it is "pretty clear" who was at fault but has refused to disclose who he would pin the blame on.
He added: “They are fighting for a championship. You’re more exposed to these kinds of incidents [in that scenario] like we’ve seen in the past.

Ralf Schumacher hits out at Hamilton dramatising
SEPTEMBER 21, 2021
Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes were "too dramatising" in the wake of the seven time world champion's scary incident with title rival Max Verstappen at Monza.
That is the view of former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher, who nonetheless agrees that Hamilton is a "colourful" driver who "gives Formula 1 a lot".
However, Schumacher thinks the 36-year-old went over the top by suggesting he was actually injured as a result of Verstappen's Red Bull climbing over his roll-over hoop at Monza.
"I think Lewis was too dramatising of it, considering that he flew to New York the next day to attend an event," he told Sport1, referring to Hamilton's appearance on the red carpet at the Met Gala.
Schumacher also hit out at Mercedes boss Toto Wolff for always rejecting any critique of Hamilton.
"If there is any criticism at all, Toto comes right out and says 'That's not how you talk about a seven-time world champion'," Schumacher noted.

Fernando Alonso believes that Max Verstappen is the best driver in Formula 1 because Red Bull have built the team around their young star, and thus hard to beat according to the Spaniad.

It depens on what you consider dangerous.
The accident itself in monza was not dangerous at all, just wheels banging at low speed. But due to the curb trowing the car in the air the outcome was unexpectedly dangerous. In pretty much al other cases this would have been a completely forgettable moment.
Nobody could foresee that anything so dangerous was going to happen there.
But in silverstone, at those speeds, it was always going to be dangerous. Any 300 km/h crash is a big risk, even when in hindsight nobody got seriously hurt.
That's why these punishments are just not correct. Doing a stupid attempt at overtaking in a slow chicane is not comparable to doing a stupid attempt at overtaking in the fastest corner of the race.

I suppose, you need someone to die first before you acknowledge that it was dangerous. Knowing you, you would say the opposite if it was the Redcbull of Verstappen under the Mercedes of Hamilton. In this scenario, you can also imagine Horner spewing his heart out at how dangerous Hamilton was and why he should be banned from racing altogether for causing a crash and dumping his race car on Verstappen's head. Since the whiner lacks any sense of morality or a modicum of a sense of fairness, we have him asking for Hamilton to be penalized for being a victim in the crash.

Marko hits out at Hamilton’s ‘funny outfit’
SEPTEMBER 22, 2021
Red Bull’s Dr Helmut Marko has hit out again at Lewis Hamilton, following reports the seven time world champion suffered a neck injury as a result of his Monza clash with Max Verstappen.
Marko has already called out Hamilton and Mercedes’ “stories” about the injuries, adding that the 36-year-old Briton and his team put on a “show” in the aftermath.
Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher sided with Marko, accusing Hamilton of “dramatising” the incident.
“The whole incident was certainly not life-threatening,” Dr Marko told the German broadcaster n-tv.
“If he had really serious neck pain or any problems, he would not have been in New York the next day in the very funny outfit he appeared in,” the 78-year-old Austrian added.
“If you go on a seven-hour flight with an injured neck after an incident like that, it couldn’t have been all that serious,” said Marko.

Do I? I'm curious as to what you think that might be then seeing as I don't even know what it is myself.
I just found your opinion that if someone gets hurt in an incident then that should play a part in any ruling against them, absurd.
If you don't want to explain or elaborate what you meant for fear of looking a bit daft then thats fine but don't snap at people who question it. You are just bringing even more attention to yourself.
