^Thats insane. . .minor injuries after major off at 150mph. When I saw it on TV, seeing him totally limp in the car and not moving while the cameras were on him. . .it looked really bad. The fact there is even talk of him running at Indy speaks volumes to the safety measures in place in F1.

If you watch he moves a little when the car comes to a stop but I think he then passes out. It was scary and yeah

for F1 safety.

I just got back from the grand prix, i was sitting at the hair pin and saw the crash first hand. It's something else seeing someone crash like that and watching him getting pulled out into the ambulance. I have pics of the aftermath that i'll try and post up later.
