[ilferrari]

Disgraceful driving by Julien Jousse

[BcreativeMakeup]

for the rehabilitation Chris needed to get back to race fit extends more than just the NHS people,. His manager at the time hadnt organized his race insurance., END OF

[DriftTheApex]

210g spike says a lot. The blackbox was destroyed.

[alexvangeen]

He did not have insurance it was a mix up. I was at the fund raiser kart race and I'm racing with him this weekend in Cambridge in the brkc.

[JGDrumandBass]

@xmatt16 XD idk dude, maybe that was another part of the track, or he might have just drove off of it. lol

[XxVettelLover1808xX]

@ connesussteve ur right Webber and some other single seat drivers are doing a charity kart race and if you race karts allready u can go on ebay and bit for a seat on one of the teams.

[conesussteve]

Just read that Mark Webber is doing a fundraiser to help pay for his recovery.

[skiscHans]

Seems a bit odd that he isn't insured isn't it?

[Shaffyre]

F1 title contender Mark Webber leads initiative to get Chris back on track. See official site of Chris

[latebraking]

Chris is currently struggling to pay his medical bills for the treatment and surgery needed to mend his injuries. :(

[mattwhite07]

@latebraking Thats bad news if it is true, you would have thought the team or championship would help him out

[HubbyHubHub]

@latebraking

You talk shit why would he have medical bills ? its free in NHS if hes in private his choice just go to normal hospital.

[mattwhite07]

@HubbyHubHub Not being a UK citizen would he not beable to get NHS Treatment??

[ojcbest]

@mattwhite07 NHS is free to anyone from the European Union.

[drlargepants]

@mattwhite07 assuming he is from the EU, then yes.

[icedbannanas]

@mattwhite07 I know this is an old discussion seeing as you last posted 8 months ago, but yes, the NHS is free to anyone, they don't have the British Citizens. I think though they do need to be EU citizens...

[thomson765]

@latebraking if the smartass thought well, he moved his ass to his second country: The Netherlands

[jimmyass]

@latebraking all i can say is shut the fuck up. you would not go to the uk and take part in a motor race without medical insurance.

[solarbox]

Google his name. One of the articles explains how this is true, and they held a fundraiser for him

[badbopy]

This is an very very very terrible crash!

[xMatt16]

does any1 else notice something driving off track at 0:07?

[mattwhite07]

@xMatt16 That is where the track goes at the end of the lap, i no what u mean it looks odd

[xMatt16]

@mattwhite07 oh i get it now lol, it's just a car on the home straight lol

i live 5mins from the track and no all the layout and everything but i just couldnt make it out because of the speed lol, i managed to pause it though and can see it now :) i feel like a rght numpty :/

[DoogieHouserRules]

@xMatt16 pitss

[fneidig]

@xMatt16 yes a green car shoots from left to right

[minibus9]

man his is lucky to survive

[tasPtolemaida]

eisai sto myaloooo, kati magikoooo

[mar4eloser4e]

The driver broke his leg,ribs,finger and cracked an shoulder blade.Hoping for a fast recoavery

[canotti2]

the truth is that I think he did it on purpose but the blame ya if you know you should have run slow coming soon ....

la verdad no es que pienso que lo hizo a proposito pero la culpa es de el ya que si sabe que viene lento deberia haberse corrido antes....

[Yankijs24]

Is the driver alright? Is he still alive?

A terrible crash!

[mattwhite07]

@Yankijs24 Yes a few broken bones but he is still alive

[biadieso]

xD the car at 0:14 on the right XD

[Ichsfkb]

is he alive?

[Gimly9393]

@Ichsfkb yeah he alived and said it was noone is guilty for this crash

[hristoitchov]

Reminds me of the fatal crash of Jeff Krosnoff and of course that of Gilles Villeneuve. Good safety these days, luckily...

[sergiodimmu]

lo misma maniobra de schumacher con barrichello..........2 asesinos !!!!......y antideportivos.

[joshuk666]

horrible crash luckily he didn't receive any permanent injuries. only about 40 years ago a crash like that would probably have resulted in death. Its great that the cars in motor sport are so safe now that death's and permanent injuries are extremely rare.

[drknockers1]

this guys from milton keynes in the local paper there is a artical in it. saying that he walked out of the car unaided and suffered a broken right ankle and a severly grazed finger on left hand that requies plastic surgery..

is having tests on the 3rd to check for a broken rib and fratchered sholder blade.

[kevintje82onboard]

2 words: LUCKY BASTARD

[canotti2]

amazing, animal, hopefully not let him compete more this murderer ...

increible, un animal espero que no lo dejen competir mas a ese asesino...

[mattwhite07]

@canotti2 He didn't do it on purpose. as they say in commentary Jousse was thinking Chris was going to go to his left, just didnt check in the mirrors.

[Castaspellonme]

@canotti2 Clearly Jousse's move wasn't on purpose but there wasn't enough space for the move van der Drift intended to do too. This was a bit too risky...

Thank god that he got out of the car alive...

[tichu124]

@canotti2 que razon tienes , eso es intento de asesinato ... solo espero que tenga remordimiento de conciencia toda su pu*a vida .

[gazz1980]

I took my nephew to that meeting and he was just on the bridge where the car hit, it scared the crap out of him...he did get a bit of the front wing that nearly landed on him.

[drinkebroeder]

@gazz1980 Did he take it as a souvenir?

Btw, this could have hapened to Barrichello in Hungary last weekend as well, when Schumacher tried to block him on the straight

[mattwhite07]

@drinkebroeder Your not wrong, its the story of 2010, single seater's flying through the air

[minonkracer]

@mattwhite07 I agree this year has been crazy. Think about Mike Conways wreck in the Indy 500, Mark Webbers in Valencia, the GP2 crash in Valencia and now this.  I dont think we have ever seen a year like this in terms of single seaters taking flight.

[slaternater22]

@minonkracer not forgetting texeira in marrakech, I've never seen a car go so high!

[gazz1980]

@drinkebroeder He did
