Forumla 2. Aparently he has improved sop thats good news. Wishing him a speedy recovery

Get well soon Felipe, I have shedloads of respect for him after he was so dignified in defeat last season and he certainly didn't deserve this! (Not that anyone does, but yknow)

To be honest, his racing days are over. I've seen motogp riders lose careers because of collar bone flicks. If he ever races in F1 again then i'll eat my words, but I stand with my opinion for now.

He will pull through, he'll have the best treatment going.

Depends on the extent of his injuries. As far as we've heard he has a skull fracture, concussion and a large cut near his eye. People recover fully from concussion, so we can exclude that. Skull fractures also don't adversely affect a person once fully healed provided it didn't damage their brain.

For me it comes down to the cut above his eye and how severe that is. If his eyesight has been affected to any real extent it could affect his career, but even then bourdais raced with glasses so it might not be that bad.

I have full confidence in modern medicine to help him make a full recovery

Such a shame to be honest. What a nasty accident after watching it live on Saturday. Hope he recovers well! Ferrari did pretty well today getting 2nd If I remember correctly? Wish him and his family all the best.

It's not just physical damage, Physcological too, if you slip off a corner on a bike, you will never take that corner as fast as you can again, same goes for F1, if you have an accident your confidence is going to take a huge knock.

Yeah I do agree with you a little. We will just have to wait and see.

[StefanWolves]

By nature he is a strong motivated person, I think this accident will have shaken him a lot, but I think he will race again next season, but one thing is for sure he won't race again this season.

Sorry to be Dr.Bad News to everyone saying "he'll be fine" but it's looking pritty serious. Ferrari are saying he's stable but they were bound to play it down. Had 2 operations already I think, there's still a chance he could die. Wouldn't be surprised myself.

Even if he pulls through, it'll be a while before he's back out on the track racing again.

[Immenseman]

yeah i see where you're coming from haz, they're hardly going to fuel all the hype.

i hope he does pull through anyway.
