Twas a bad one alright. However, on a lighter note, the commentator fell sounded a little bit suspiciously well dressed... Reminded me of that "would you look at that" chap.

Lucky he went down the longer left side of the escape lane. As for the marshal, surely they shouldn't be that exposed? If a car is going down the escape lane, it means there's been a loss of control of one form or another, so not sure I'd be overly keen to be standing that much in the open.

He is going to have his eyes glued shut to get rid of the shocked look on his face.
