A nice video of Mark Webber's latest aerial-style Formula 1 adventures here:
(the interesting bit starts at 1:20 or so - and the commentary pretty clearly isn't in English - sounds like German or Dutch to me, but I may be completely wrong on that, given that I don't actually speak either language...)
Anyway, the main reason I'm posting this is because he actually walked away from that crash completely unhurt - so score a big plus for safety engineering in F1 cars! Not so many years ago, that would have been at the very least some badly broken bones, or potentially fatal, but some very clever engineers have done a lot of brilliant work to help keep the drivers all in one piece, even when the car, um, isn't any more.

It was an amazing thing to see on the day. And as you say, he walked away and was back in a car at the next race.
ReplyDeleteGreat driver, despite this flying incident!
