Energy leaving a car

Update: Well let’s see how long this stays up before Formula 1 Management whines to YouTube…The first video I found was in English but you really don’t need to understand the language. Note the feet outside the tub as it comes to a rest against the wall. Scary stuff…

Robert Kubica survived this massive crash in Montreal this Sunday after his BMW Sauber got tangled up with the Toyota of Jarno Trulli.

When I saw the crash I was thinking that me might dead given the angle that he hit the wall. Instead, he’s being kept in the hospital overnight in case he has a concussion… In case? Are his eyeballs still in his head?

A true testament to the strength of a modern F1 chassis.

That freaked me out - I can’t believe someone walked away. Thanks for posting it!

ahhck!… the cars are too safe these days. Where’s the excitement! If that crash doesn’t kill the driver, what will?

That crash really freaked out J and I. I was having chills reminiscing back to watching the Ayrton Senna crash live so long ago. Amazing that he got away so lucky, given how promising he’s been looking.
