Hi folks. I'm not a marshal and hope you don't mind me showing up here to pick your brains ?
Ordinarily, I would expect such a big crash to bring out a safety car or a red flag. I would also expect the car to be dragged off to a safer place and for the driver to be shipped off to the medical centre for a thorough checkup.
I was quite suprised that none of these things happened. I was particularly suprised to see the driver, who had whacked the barrier at 160/170 mph(his estimate), hop over the spectator fence and make the long walk back to his pits alone.
I'm not being critical, I'm just curious
