The only reason for the impact was that he was not controlling the car because he was effectively already dead.Quote:

I love motor racing because i love the feeling of being on the edge, racing myself, and the close battles you can have and the adrenalin from both a spectator and drivers perspective. And from a driver's perspective, you don't want to have a big crash, and it should be the same for if your spectating.Quote:

If however someone likes seeing a crash after it has occured and we are sure everyone is safe, then thats fine.
Racing is about staying on the track, being on the edge, and having some really exciting close battles. unfortunately, it is a dangerous sport raced at high speeds and we should never want to see massive crashes like that of kubica, they are the unfortunate side effects of this great sport we all love. It's like most sports, say australian rules football, i love the sport, but unfortunately it is a dangerous sport in terms of injury, and i would never wish that on anyone.
Was so relieved to hear Kubica was alright. I get that horrible sick feeling when I watch things like that. It's amazing he's okay after such an incident and it gives testament to all the safety technology that he's suffering from a broken leg and nothing worse.
I was most surprised that a red flag was not needed and that Kubica was concious and most fortunately - alive! That was the most enormous accident I have ever seen on TV. Safety standards have improved vastly since 1994 but someone was indeed watching over Kubica yesterday.
Sky are saying he has concussion and a sprained ankle. So are the BBC:

Either way, its a huge relief he's ok, that was one of the worst crashes I can remember seeing.
A sprained ankle? WOW :eek:
I am SO glad that he is OK!!
How did it happen? Did Jarno shut the door or was Robert trying a do or die maneuver?
I remember seeing Kubica, as a child karting race. He still very young, I was so happy to heard he wasn't hurt badly. I become a fan also, Lewis said his thought was with Kubica and his family and also Kubica, was a good friend. Anyway bless Kubica.
