First of all, she's okay. She is in hospital with a spinal fracture/s but so far she has tweeted she is okay. A video, some are slow mo and repeated but further on shows different angles. She goes airborne backwards, takes out the railings the Marshall's are standing behind and smashed straight into a media tower full of camera's and photographers.
Jesus. I hope she's OK. The speed differential there was huge, something must have gone wrong or she's misread the situation.
This is a more updated follow up from the Hong Kong Free Press. The second video is opposite the media tower and shows a more informed video. https://www.hongkongfp.com/2018/11/18/just-video-six-injured-macau-grand-prix-horror-crash/
My god. I used to watch her doing the Ginetta racing in uk when she was 15. She was not allowed to drive in Germany as she was too young. She was always a good driver & front runner. Hope she gets well soon.
Never heard of her before this, but the fact she's tweeted that she's fine and going in for surgery tomorrow is hopefully good news. Let's hope the surgery is just to stabilise her spine. At 17 years old, she has a lot of life ahead of her.
Seems she clipped/there was contact with another car that put her in the barrier and she then launched off the kerb
Robert Wickens had a similar crash in the Indy car series earlier this year. He’s in a wheelchair now, she’s lucky to have more or less walked away.
I think going back with his words ringing in my ears made me look more closely. He's not wrong. There were many shocking and scary things that we saw (Marshalls waving wrong flags, Marshalls on live track clearing debris). It doesn't need sanitising, just a lot of the obvious and avoidable risks removing.
