On Saturday, one of the pilots for my favorite formula one team had a serious accident during qualifying. A piece from another car flew and hit him, leaving him with a broken skull. He required surgery on his eye socket because of a serious fracture and it is now in an artificial coma so he can recover. They say he's out of danger, but it still is very scary.
They said that he'd passed out at the moment, but in the video you can see in the bars on the left that he hit the brake, probably out of reflex but his hand was still on the gas, so he crashed into the wall of tires. These helmets are tested to the max, but it would appear it hit the visor, which explains the seriousness of the injury.
I wish him the best and hope he recovers soon.

it's scary how your entire world can change in a matter of seconds. I hope he gets well soon!.
Yeah, it's absolutely crazy. He's thankfully out the coma and responding well. He can't remember what happened to him.
