Jerome d'Ambrosio spun in the pit lane in 2011. So it was somewhat known that the pit lane was slippery and yet the FIA couldn't be bothered to do something about it? Maybe they'll do now, as the pictures of out of control touring cars hitting mechanics and marshals will probably go around the world. Obviously I hope the injured people get well soon. But the DTM may face a PR nightmare in a time, where it desperately needs good, positive news. It's not necessarily their fault, but they will be connected to it nonetheless. Being connected to pictures of racing cars injuring people will hardly increase manufacturer or sponsor interest.
