I heard earlier. Hope he recovers.

I don't see how a car should of been allowed to drive because obv something was wrong before the start to allow a spring to become detached from a car and hit Felipe Massa in the head at 200mph.

Sum it up for people who CBA to read: A spring came off a car, hit Felipe Massa in the head at 200mph. So imagine a kilo of metal hitting you at 200mph.

What a freak accident too. Hope everything goes well for him. Barrachelo must feel awful!

It's amazing how the spring is still shooting down the track while Barrachelo is long gone.

I was watching it live, he got knocked clean out and didn't slow down a real deal. He seemed alright just before he got airlifted to hospital though - he was waving :S
