Both kubica and the man in white just inside the barrier wall were very lucky to have not been seriously injured.

Ugh, I'm getting tired of YouTube.
Hopefully The Pirate Bay will get their version up soon so that there's no more of this ridiculousness.

What's formula 1 afraid of? More viewers? What a bunch of tools!

Bernie wants to make sure everyone pays the freight for viewing. And he is a tool.

That looks like military video of a missile strike!

Just goes to show that they not only puts immense engineering in the aerodynamics of the car but also the safety of it. Glad to hear that he is ok, very lucky man!

I like the reaction of the official behind the wall in white. Lah de dah, another beautiful day at the races, maybe I'll lean against the wall, ok, maybe take a little stroll over...HOLY CRAP!!!

It is amazing that Kubica survived this crash with only minor injuries.I know it is extremely expensive but I hope some of this safety technology and materials use in F1 cars will start trickling down into passengers cars soon.Oh..and yes I agree with the posts above about Bernie being a tool.

Doc,
Completely agree, that guy just saw his life flash before his eyes. He might want to check his suit before he takes it off. Although I do like his "HOLY CRAP THAT WAS CLOSE!" dance he does before grabbing a fire extinguisher.
Really shows how fast these guys were going, yowza Kubica hit that wall hard......

The fact that Kubica is alive is amazing. Wonderful engineering and wonderful that the Drivers Union exists to make F1 make the teams come up with all that safety tech.
If not for the safety of the cockpit, the Hans device and the flexible Kevlar fuel tank Kub would have been crushed, his head snapped off or burned alive had this been even in the early 90's, never mind the poor guys from the 50's, 60's and 70's.

Or if he had been in a NASCAR car...

You might want to go to Youtube and search for Elliot Sadler and Talladega before making smart ass comments about NASCAR.
Youtube clips are mostly watched by americans where F1 has the popularity of the treecutting competitions. You would think they would try to milk this oppurtunity for all it's worth but.....
Solo Racer 6:28PM (6/12/2007)
Uh, Viv, Sadler didn't hit the wall and experience 28g to 40g of deceleration.

I like how the screencap of the video looks like a watercolor.

A site that actually hosts the accident... fortunately, my fellow-Polish F1 driver is not injured and will be released from the hospital shortly...

Rumours have it that he will drive in the US Grand Prix.

I just wish you can drive as good as he does :-)

Bernie needs to get real, lighten up and get with the times. These kind of "free sample" videos really expose many people to F1 racing that may not otherwise kinow anything about it. Viral marketing, heard of it Bernie?

F1 going after You Tube to take down this accident is a sure sign of complete idiocy.
Their ratings are in a slump... this is sure fire free advertising which would only help increase it's viewership on nationally broadcasted races.... and they want to what... take it down?
Again.... Idiots!

That's the first thing I thought. No publicity is bad as long as they spell your name right, no?
