Thank heavens they are seriously investigating the poor medical
response. That kind of delay is unacceptable.

Why is everyone assuming there were no medically marshalls at the
corner?


Because they were attempting to pull the car out before lifting the tires
off. I'm a medical idiot, and I know you keep that neck straight until
you're damn sure there's no injury.

Heikki had a stiff neck aftewords. There was pressure on his neck be it
from the impact or the tires, but that's enough to warrant concern.

My concerns are:

1) Replace tire barriers with better technology (It does exist and you'd
think of all sports - F1 could develop it)
2) Strengthen wheel rims, require a certain amount of structural integrity
rather than letting teams get too close to the edge in trying to save
weight.
