CRASH Multi angle -Mika Hakkinen Adelaide 95.

Mika Hakkinen crashes his Mclaren into the barrier in qualifying. Gp australia 95. He was in coma for some time.
Recovering from this severe crash and going on to fully regaining his confidence and speed, becoming world champion twice (1998, 1999).

Mika owes his life to the two expert medics that luckily happened to be very close to the site of crash and attended Hakkinen before his brain ran completely out of oxygen to become permanently damaged or dead because that was what was happening. He couldn't breathe, he had swallowed his tongue, they punctured his trachea to deal with that. Of course Watkins took over after but that happened some minutes later and by then Mika was already out of danger.

Did his head banged the steering wheel ? It really looks like so :/

[Milanotjuh]

@ursuss100 yes, the button on his steering wheel were imprinted into his helmet (!!)

Just to clear up a lot of facts that people here have gotten wrong.

Ratzenberger hit the wall and one of the front wheels came off and hit his head and that loose wheel broke his neck

Mika had a rear puncuture so that is the reason why he lost control of the car and had this terrible accident

Other than that Mika Hakkinen is my all time favorite driver and this season Kimi Raikkonen is back which is great news!!

Sickening crash. Pretty remarkable that he even survived, let alone went on to win championships

[LuxeXx]

Very poor track design too. There shouldn't be a curb that could launch the car if the corner is straight-lined...

Man Hes Very Lucky To Be Alive! If It Were 30 Years Ago He Would Be Unlucky.

I was at this race, and four years old - the last in my state before it moved to Melbourne. It would be years before I realised how serious this accident had been.
