I was watching the race and when Heikki speared into that tire wall, I knew there was a possibility that he was hurt bad. The way the corner workers were frantically waving their hands also was an indicator. Thank goodness he is ok for the most part. This was similar to Lewis Hamilton's accident in Germany last year where his front wheel failed also.

I can't believe he is unhurt, happy but surprised. It was a crash that looked very similar to this one which killed Senna. When I saw that accident I thought for sure I had witnessed disaster, he's a lucky man.

Well said, Brad. I was pretty nervous until they finally showed him giving the thumb's up as he was hauled off on the stretcher.

For sure guys. I thought he'd at least have some broken bones... especially after watching them remove the car, and you could see daylight through the footwell. He's very lucky, but also it's a testament to the strength and safety of a modern F1 car. I hope he'll be fit enough to race in Turkey.

I held my breath when I saw the crash. Kovalainen had all the time in the world to ponder the meaning of life between the wheel/tire malfunction and hitting the wall.
