Looked like a speaker stand for the commentary up the hill, might not be too substantial if he did hit it.

[Vocal Minority]

It is a speaker gantry. Not the most robust struicture in the world, but I still wouldn't want to hit it.

ETC - i got the use of the gantry wrong first time.

[Skylinecrazy]

The amount of cars that have been propelled over there is very very lengthy!

John Bradburn's crash there a few years ago was pretty bad too.

Good advert for the integrity of Caterhams.

Or possibly the luck of Caterham drivers - it looks like it didn't really put the cage to the test - all the big impacts were on the nose or the tail.

Lucky guy, crap driving skills tho

[TonyHetherington]

Lucky chap! With the edge of the track like it is, it's surprising something similar hasn't happened before.

It has - quite a few times.

[TonyHetherington]

Ah right.

Yep and the car stayed together around the driver. I've seen lesser solo accidents in tin-tops that have ended up with the driver virtually being thrown out of the disintegrating shell of the remains of the car.

Did he's sunglasses stay on or did he borrow them to make a discreet exit

[Fire99]

That's not what I would call an "Abrupt Halt!" Could get good marks if it was a diving or gymnastics competition. Glad he was all ok.

those banks are nuts, if it was flat he would have just slid into the foliage
