Mikkelsen keeps P2, but will be a big fight with Neuville and Sordo tomorrow!!
Stéphane Lefebvre @SLefebvreRallye
I have no enough words to say to you how many your lovely messages make us feel better. We hope to be back soon. #RallyFamily
Just imagine if Ogier didn't participate in this rally. 3 drivers in 4.0sec on battle to win

Reminds me of when Breen's codriver Gareth Roberts was killed when a barrier came through the car...
Autosport/David Evans believes it was a tree: http://www.autosport.com/news/report...ighspeed-crashQuote:

One of the worst things you can hit as they are just solid and dont give way.
Must've been a huge negative g stop, hence the internal injuries. :(
The human body is very interesting thing. Some organs are critically damaged by acceleration, some by movement, some only by deformation. For most of the internal organs the critical criterion is movement inside the body hence the 6-points wide seat belts. Acceleration is critical mainly for the brain and the deformation mainly for legs, hands and spine. The heavy head is now kept on place by HANS but in the same time the restrained head sufferes a lot more from acceleration of the brain. That's why modern helmets intended for use with HANS have special internal structure to soften the acceleration. Normally a healthy person can survive around 100 g for some milliseconds but common g-meters can't measure such short peaks. Only sppecial accelerometers used in crash tests are able to do so. That's why the numbers often presented on public are pure BS such as " he survived huge 20g". I would estimate that You can achieve a lot over 20g by a football header :)Quote:

Have there been any safety upgrades at all announced for the 2017 cars? Normally that is built into all new regulations - or certainly should be.Quote:

Video stops as the car piles into a tree. Not sure what more needs explaining?Quote:
