+1. Reminds me of Krosnoff's fatal crash in CART, 1996. Drivers have to be SO careful these days, somebody will get killed due to recklessness.

When IRL had this happen at a much higher speed, everyone was calling for major changes, but here it seems nobody cares. :-\

Lucky man.

More like Marco Campos' fatal crash at Magny-Cours. Inch or 2 lower and he'd be checking in right about now.
