Scary moment :(
Was happy to know he was okay and stable later on...it appeared really bad with the car on its side and when there was no movement from the cockpit.

Yep, hopefully he can race at america, a very frightening crash and i'm suprised he didn't have any more injuries that he has already
He's gone home already:

I actually hope he doesn't race this weekend, I think its too soon. But, they'll test him thoroughly, I have no doubt :D
RK was one lucky racing driver :eek: I did fear the worst when the car came to a halt so it is fantastic that he's fit and well and ready to race again.
Maybe its time to thank the FIA for there safety rules that they have been putting in place over the last ten years or so as if this kind of accident had happened not so long ago it would surely ended in a death or serious injury
We have all been quick to attack the governing body when things are wrong so we should be equally quick with them for a job well done!
I think he should stay home, relax and let somebodyelse drive his car at Indy, and comeback again in next race. It's too risky to let him race after such a terrible incident.Glad to hear is getting well so quickly :)

I am going to send FIA a thank you letter for this. They have done a great job.
Kudos to GPDA and BMW designers as well.
This video really shows the scary speed of the first impact.
