1)at indianapolis irl cars go around 40 kph(approx 25 mph)faster than F1

2)the car hits the wall with no previous desaceleration,but in the F1 cars brake before hitting the wall in the grass or they just brake in the grass before hitting the wall.this crashed are also worse than those where the car flips and goes side over side,because here the desaceleration is in less than a second,and when the car goes side over side it is "progresive"

sorry for my english,i know its not very good :)

F1 also has some pretty insanely strict safety regulations concerning the tracks. I don't know about Indy regulations, but maybe that's the difference?

im surprised as well... looks like quite an everyday-crash in F1 but the injury is severe.

Guess the initial impact against the wall was the cause... maybe...

strange,doesnt look half as bad as some of the crashes in f1 where drivers get out with no injuries.

pretty brutal
