Isn't it remarkable to have seen some really devastating crashes the latest years in the CART series, last year causing Alex Zanardi lose his legs, and in 2000 having a deadly accident with Greg Moore.
On the contrary, we haven't seen any terrifying injuries lately in Formula one, although some really hard crashes. McNish in Japan came out with a few bruises, both J. Villeneuve crashed from 1998 and 1999 in Eau Rouge (Spa) was uninjured, and Shumacher in Stowe 2000, who broke a leg, and was back in action 4 months later.
May a conclude F1 is safer than CART?
