Good to hear Gene is OK.
nearly a flying pug similar to the Merc, thank goodness he did not fly over the barrier.
Hats off to motorsport safety!

A nasty incident, and thankfully nothing serious. Now where's the Tank Tape? I'm sure it'll be all ok
The time taken to get the driver out is nessecary, rushing to get him out could make any minor injury a mojor one. You should always wait for the Rescue team after such an incident as yo do not know what injuries have been sustained

I think actually the point was the marshals appeared to be dragging the driver out quite quickly RATHER than waiting for the safety crews - it made me wince!

Never nice seeing racecars take off like that.
Amazing how drivers walk away from the accidents these days.

It seems to me that we've seen an increasing number of these incidents and it does worry me that someone's luck is going to run out one day.
