Horrible F1-crash last night

He's got a broken leg - still much much better than what would have happened to him not so many years ago in a similar accident.

Edit - okies ,now the news is getting here it is only a mild concussion and a sprained ankle :o , Deffinately a lot safer cars than not so long ago :up:

:up: Kudos to the safety of the Formula cars nowadays

in a civil car you would be dead for sure

but indeed..lucky he was alright and suffered minor injuries
get wel soon Kubica:up:

Saw it as it happened last night.

The first thing that went through my mind was Senna and his accident. Thankfully things have improved in F1 since those days.

Amazing footage - just glad he's ok.

That is one lucky escape/outcome :yep:

Very lucky

Good race, glad to see Hamilton on top. Ferraris were nowhere and Raikonnen is proving to be vastly overrated. Alonso also doesn't seem to be handling Hamilton too well.

It was a scary accident, I hope he gets back to shape quickly.:up:

Same here, my livingroom went dead for a while. We all thought he was seriously injured or worse.

Here is a good pic of the forces in play. The concrete wall is moved! (Also note Scott Speed in the armchair :rotfl:)

Edit: They say he was doing 280km\h when he hit the wall.

that could have been so worse. no broken bones in the end his legs are fine.

lol at scott speed in the armchair just chillin'

Talking about lol, my youtube account was permanently disabled just now, because I uploaded the crash. Yay.

WHAT?! NO! How are you going to post your sub videos?!

good race! very hectic, thats motorsport for you.

He can always register under different alias...:yep:

How come? :hmm:
When I read this I told Hunter ICX over on TS and neither of us understand why :nope:

Let's hack TouTube!:up:
Anynone?
No?:cry:

Villeneuve circuit is almost all high-speed, a dodgy place to crash :?

Watching you link, elit, made me miss Murray Walker :(

Ayrton Senna : R.I.P :cry: 1 of the greatest drivers to ever be in F1

Roland Ratzenberger he was a rookie driver... 3 races into his F1 career and he died 2 days before Senna did... senna was stunned by the death and expressed concern over safety standards..R.Ip

world of racing is fubar...:nope::nope: but they have learned and thats why kubica is alive today...

We`ll see, but the annoying part is all the old vids that are gone. Oh, well.

It turns out the late pope John Paul II signed Kubicas helmet, and it is now explained as a holy miracle by the Catholics. Whatever it was, it is pretty impressive to (almost) walk away from that.

Don Cherry made the comment during the Stanley Cup that taking fighting out of hockey, would be like taking crashes out of racing.

At the time he had on a suit that makes Michael Irvin look conservative.
