Chopper just left.


I'm expecting neck or spinal injury. That crash looks a lot like Kenny Brack's 2003 Texas crash.

I think we can relax a LITTLE bit for now.

Between the safety crew not seeming to have any sense of urgency while Wickens was in thew car, and the fact that helicopters are generally not used to ferry corpses to hospitals, it's safeto assume that Wickens injuries, serious as they clearly are, are not IMMEDIATELY life threatening.

(yes, I know nothing is guaranteed, I'm just trying to keep heart rates down)

Good news on the driver,I was fearing the worst on that one.
Going to take a while to fix that fence several poles need replacing.

That's good news in these circumstances. Injuries can still be severe if not fatal.

That looked nasty. Reminded me a bit of aleshin’s accident in the same car, his indycar career never recovered though he made a full recovery. I hope that Wickens makes a quick recovery and is fine for next year. And maybe isn’t so aggressive on an oval on the first lap.

I find that the main thing from all of these replays is how much the series still needs cockpit protection. Getting rid of the aero kits and putting a tether on the nose has helped, but not solved. The fencing is also an issue but probably a lot harder to do anything about.

I so want to provide some levity using a joke regarding Fittipaldi's injury/recovery, especially since it was just confirmed that he did not re-injure his leg, but I can't think of a way to make it sufficiently funny without violating forum rules. :P

If it does violate forum rules I'll just delete it.

There's been a definite shift in the atmosphere at the track and on the broadcast for the better, what with the broadcast team commenting tongue-in-cheek about the dangers of scooters on the paddock.

Hinch was also just confirmed to be okay. He chose not to give an interview - he's going to visit Wickens at the hospital.

Rossi is so fast, if this goes green the rest of the way it’s hard to see anyway he can be beat.

Well, I hate to say it, but that race was overall pretty meh, and Wickens' accident certainly did not help. But I ended up switching between it and the CWL Finals. And I am NOT much of an E-Sports fan.

With a number of the top drivers eliminated from the race because of the crash and the concerns surrounding Wickens, it always was going to be a somewhat subdued affair.
