Epic Formula 3 Crash

From Saturday's Formula 3 race in Austria

Ryan Tveter lost control of his car at the beginning of an S-turn, Zhi Chong Le apparently could not see the stalled car because of the dust and hit Tveter at full speed from behind:



You can see he was hit a second time by Pedro Piquet, better angle of the 2nd hit:

Here's the latest:

Quote:
Carlin driver Peter Li Zhi Cong will require surgery for "broken bones in his heel" after his horror crash at Spielberg, the team has confirmed.

Li, who launched into the air off teammate Ryan Tveter's car in a horrific-looking Race 1 shunt, was originally taken to hospital by helicopter with suspected head and back injuries. However, the team has now clarified that broken bones in his heel are likely the most serious consequence of the crash.

"Peter is undergoing treatment for multiple broken bones in his heel, which will require surgery in the near future," the statement reads.
"Peter has also been diagnosed with four fractured vertebrae which do not require surgery.
"While suffering with other bruising and small injuries, Peter is alert and speaking with team personnel."

Tveter, who also had to go to hospital for a check-up, has been "discharged with heavy bruising to his knee".

after he spun I was like "that wasn't a crash, just a spin ..." and thought he was going to take off driving again right when it happened... yikes.

Probably stalled the car. Crazy wreck, definitely a testament to how safe racing is compared to driving on public roads.

yeah - I wasn't surprised that he stayed stopped, probably a lot going on with the onboard electronics/mechanicals, but I thought that was going to be the "epic" part... unfortunately it wasn't! but yeah, it's incredible that after such carnage that a crushed heel (although i'm sure painful) was the worst that came out of it... could've been a femur, pelvis, or head...
