I’ve just read on the Autosport website about that the data concerning Robert Kubica’s crash has been released.
It makes for very interesting reading.
Imagine hitting a wall at 230km/h (143mph) in your road car. There wouldn’t be much left would there? It goes to show how strong the modern F1 car is. At the moment of impact with the wall the peak loading on the car was 75G. To think that he came out of the accident with just a mild concussion and a sprained ankle.
The report from the study of the data said that all of the safety devices “worked perfectly”.
I’m sure that the quest for even safer cars will still continue, as accidents will still happen, no matter what the FIA does.
Here’s hoping that Robert Kubica will be back in the car for the next GP in France.
