Dam it! u beat me to it lol. i was to busy thinking off a catchy title to blow off the INTEL FAN BOYS! oh well, it was pretty darn spectacular eh. all that and only a broken leg. U gotta love it when a race car crashes like that and everything just goes kablooee with $h!t flying everywhere. Would have been funnier if we saw AMD's car scream past...
That was actually a very very nasty crash, and he was extremely luck to get away with only a broken leg.
He smashed into a concrete barrier around 190mph, and didn't move in his cockpit for around 10 mins or so. He looked so lifeless it was a bit disturbing :?
Turns out he didnt break his leg, only suffered from concussion and a sprained ankle. He might even race next week if hes lucky. His name was Robert Kubica btw.
if it were a p4 presscott amd's car woulda lapped it several times already. in all seriousness it was a horendous crash and could have been fatal but the point is that he was not seriously hurt and it looked spectacular so that gives us reason 2 see the sunny, funny side of it.
I do know that - the crash was a horrible way to demonstrate yet again that the cockpit remained almost intact which is a terrific engineering achievement.
But if you watch the crash again, he IS lucky not to hit the stationary car, not to hit any other cars as he shoots across the track and damned lucky to to land on his head when the car is doing flips.
It is down to engineering to keep him as safe as possible, and despit what you say, down to luck to avoid the worse possible accident.

Yeah it's good that he's ok. I wouldn't be saying that if he weren't.
However I will say one thing: we can't tell from that photo weather or not the AMD car lapped him. So I technically could still be right! 8O
At first glance it looks like that's the visor on his helmet.... facing the WRONG WAY! Looks like his head's on backwards, or it was a REALLY bad crash... But oh no... it's just some artwork
Yeah, I would say "luckily" he walked away from this with no serious injuries... But there was no luck about it. These cars are designed to keep the driver alive and unharmed, and they do a magnificent job. The designers of these cars really are life-savers.
