Fear of the statistics
It was a miracle that the 22-year-old Robert Kubica survived his horror crash during yesterday's Canadian Grand Prix. Everybody feared for the young Pole's life after the crash, but Kubica got away with a light concussion and a sprained right ankle.
For the people who have experienced the less safe F1 times, know what can happen when a car crashes at more than 200km/h. The young F1 drivers, and lets face it they get younger and younger, don't realise how dangerous their job is. Drivers like Hamilton, Kovalainen, Sutil, Rosberg and Kubica feel invulnerable in their F1 challenger as the current generation of cars are incredibly strong.
But some of us know better, like Honda's Jacky Eeckelaert: "Who thinks that there can't get people killed in F1 anymore, is wrong. Those guys are in a projectile that goes 300km/h. One day it will happen again, believe me. That is unfortunately part of motorsport,"he declared in the Belgian newspaper 'Het laatste nieuws'.
It's been since 1994, from Imola with Ratzenberger and Senna, that there has happened a fatal crash in F1.
