Wanted to give you guys a little health update after my crash yesterday, I’m going to need a few months to recover, I fractured a couple vertebrae in my neck, as well as above my right eye. Thanks to everyone who has reached out, it means the world to me. I appreciate you all "

I didn't know we had vertebrae in our heads.....
Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end.....
Why are they even faffing around with aero screens etc when they cant even manage a roll over hoop that will hold up to a rollover? I hope this is just a freak situation and that normally the hoop is solid, because that did not even look like a particularly hard rollover.
Edit: Just realised this is Indy Lights, so maybe my comment re screens is irrelevant. Not even sure they have them. But a solid rollover bar is a critical part of any open car, as is a solid cage in any covered car.

Yeah, apparently the roll hoop collapsed when he flipped. Which just can't be allowed to happen.

Crazy. It's not like he slammed into a barrier hoop-first at 300km/hr like Moore did. That needs to be investigated to find out how that could happen. How the whole thing happened - wheel included.

My local hometown hero and former British F3 champ Linus Lundqvist only needs two points from the last three races to secure the Formula Regional Americas crown (F3) and a drive in Indy Lights for 2021. 11 wins from 13 races in an albeit weak championship.

The Swedish armada has risen.
He has already secured the title? Sounded that way! Since it's 12 out of 14 wins.
Spoke to him for the podcast I'm in tonight, he's in high spirits!

The official FRA website claims he needs two more points.
