Yes, all the best to him. Very unfortunate circumstances, hitting a tractor that was removing another car that had crashed in the same place on the previous lap. TV coverage missed the incident so it's hard to judge but it looked to me like he would have missed Sutil's car and hit the barriers had the tractor not been there. So either the safety car should have been deployed sooner or they should have waited until it had been deployed before attempting to remove the other vehicle.

Also, r.i.p. to former F1 driver Andre de Cesaris who sadly died in a motorbike accident at the weekend.

The problem with yesterday highlighted that despite the waved yellows drivers only have to slow down a fraction. Just a small lift to show the stewards.

Nobody wants to give any more away than that because the regulations only say that. So they all still pile through waved yellows at 95 percent.

Maybe it should be made clearer that you really must slow down a lot more and punish those not.

Haven't seen the video. Was watching the race when it happened but they showed absolutely nothing of it. Spartan problem is they're are so many rules and regulations as it is, every rule they add pretty much makes it less competitive. Soon they won't be able to go more than 50mph. I think if they have racing, acknowledge it's dangerous and realize there is somewhat of a risk of a fatality. If not scr*p the race as it's too dangerous, with too many rules it's not much of a sport

The fan shot video is on liveleak.

Yes I understand there are lots of rules but too many of them are technical rules. It hardly hurts to have a sensible rule that does enforce a slower yellow flag, simply because half the drivers pay little heed to them already anyway. Better than throwing a safety car out and neutering every race when a driver sneezes on his visor.

It was an accident. There needn't be a knee jerk to it because it was whole host of bad circumstances coming together. Motor racing is never going to be totally safe, it has inherent risk no matter what. They will just have to review options.

Yeah.. when i saw the vid of it, I couldn't believe he was in the hospital and not the morgue.. honestly looked like it should have took his head clean off the way he went under that tractor

Sadly looks like he isnt going to recover from this accident . 98 percent never recover any brain function from this injury

It depends how severe it is. If it is very bad then yeah, few people recover and those that do never fully. If he comes out and able to live his life after it's already a win. He's young, he's fit, the medical team got there fast and he had surgery immediately.

Have to just wait and see much like Schumacher. I wonder if we'll ever get to see him, it's been 9 months and the most recent news is good.

As has been said the root of this particular incident was that everyone pretty much drives at 95pc on waved yellows. Having more safety cars would just hinder the flow of races and corrupt the fairness of results because everyone gets bunched up. Maybe having an automatic 50pc rev setting on the cars when yellows are waved is an option.
