Kubica Crash Video
I was too pleasant outside so I missed half of the Grand Prix. Once I tuned in, I learned that Polish driver Robert Kubica had one of those crashes that usually end up with flags at half staffed in his native country. Fortunately, there has been very impressive progress in driver safety and the same type of crash that killed Arton Senna is now perfectly survivable. In fact, he is expected to be released from the hospital on Monday morning with nothing more than a sprained ankle and a concussion.
A video of the crash is now available online. All I can say is…wow!
At least I got to see history being made with a well deserved victory by Lewis Hamilton.

Thanks, I missed it too.
Wow. I was there. When we saw it on the screen the fans around me in the grandstands couldn’t believe it! PErsonally it gave me shivers. And made me really worried about him. Especially because they were’t showing close-up images of after the crash with the intervention, only from far away, which is frightening, as if they were hiding something!
That’s impressive.
I’ve gone twice to the GP and the TV never does it justice.. But that amateur video does. It really gives you a sense at how fast they go and the actual noise that it makes.
i captured a picture of the crash
