But look at the two snappers - not a single attempt to flag to the corner workers (marshals as we know them) that the car is down there, or he's hurt, etc... they just stand there and watch!!

Thankfully both drivers OK.

I thought the marshals always want the public to stay out.

I think they probably could work it out for themselves, from the tyres, smashed fencing and missing car!

Gravel trap did a lot didn't it! Can't believe he just walked away. A lot of people in recent weeks have walked away from major accidents. Goes to show how safe modern race cars can be.
