Holy sh*t!
There isn't much left of that 'rrari
Seriously lucky that didn't cause any deaths, assuming they're in stable conditions in hospital?

Ouch!
Goes to show how serious it is if the marshals dont dare touch them.
Horrible video but the question is how? Why is the car going so fast compared to the others and why did it spin?
at smaller events the marshalling/1st aid can be horribly inadequate for a big incident. There's a really horrible video of a Lambo (iirc) crashing and igniting recently too, takes an age for anything to happen

Farrier. Someone who shoes horses.
At a guess, he was still having a bit of a race with the black car you briefly see in the background (or possibly the other yellow one you see off on the other side)

British marshalling is also second to none, so in comparison anything looks rubbish. We regularly ship 'our' marshals out to other countries to man big events because they don't have enough of their own. IIRC the Abu Dhabi and Indian GPs were manned almost exclusively by British marshals.
But its not even the numbers, its just the way they casually walk over and concentrate more on rolling out the white sheet rather than checking on the driver. Nobody seemed to give a dam about the marshal on the floor for ages.
So many reason why that scenario shouldn't happen. Bad times indeed.
I blinked the first time round. Had to play it again to even see the Ferrari before it hit the barrier.
As terrible as it sounds, most big tracks will have a procedure in place for an accident like this where a fatality is likely, which includes screening and clearing access for helicopters etc. Also have procedures for mass spectator injury e.t.c. too.

The smoke pouring out from his helmet.... FCUK.
I think he regained consciousness after he was dragged out the car and flipped out - like most people do when they have fainted.
That video made my heart skip a beat.
I don't normally like ghey songs over videos of this nature but I think that qualifies for it.
You'd also wig out if you had just had your eyes burnt out. This is why I will be racing with a visor this year, pull it down if you see fire. Saved Hunter Abbott's eyes at Oulton.
What championship? Someone sadly lost his life during a race I was in. Very sad indeed.

It was the historic racing weekend, pre 70's saloon cars or something like that... Minis and Cortinas versus muscle cars etc. A Mustang and Mini collided on the double apex right hander before the old Dunlop bridge. The Mini driver, Christian Devereux was announced fatally injured by the time I'd got home. RIP.
Martin Donnelly's crash was a properly bad one to watch. Yeah, he lived, but fcuk it was bad.
