A violent crash during Saturday's qualifying session for the Indianapolis 500 had resulted in several fractures for Sebastian Bourdais. A small correction of oversteer sent him straight into the wall, badly damaging his car that immediately burst in flames as well.
To me it looks like Dario misses the rear bumper and more hits Satos rear wheel from the side and rolls up on it or more like just beyond the rear bumper.WilliamsF1 wrote:What is the point of the rear bumper if cars still get launched into the air?

Unfortunately nothing will ever stop race cars from climbing over each other. If NASCAR and BTCC cars still manages to find a way to shoot over each other there's nothing IndyCar can ever do. The bumpers just help that a little bit but IndyCars will continue to launch over each other with that kind of accidents. After a certain impact speed with those particular sections of the cars colliding, the wheels will always touch each other and that will always launch the car. The bumpers just make these kinds of accidents a little more rare.WilliamsF1 wrote:What is the point of the rear bumper if cars still get launched into the air?
Unless IndyCar starts going to Tilkedome tracks and completely remove all the ovals you'll never remove major incidents in IndyCar even with the professionalism of F1. You already get major incidents and shunts with Gp2 and F1 at Monaco.munudeges wrote:until major wholesale changes are made, starting with attitudes and behaviour, you are going to continue to see major accidents and drivers hurt and killed in Indy I'm afraid.
Professionalism like this ?Unless IndyCar starts going to Tilkedome tracks and completely remove all the ovals you'll never remove major incidents in IndyCar even with the professionalism of F1. You already get major incidents and shunts with Gp2 and F1 at Monaco.
