Had to be extricated by the medical crew, it appears he fainted. Likely due to heat/dehydration; hopefully he's alright! Just saw the incident on youtube. Definitely looked like a heatstroke or something. Hope he's ok.

Yeah, his head just leans on the headrest and doesn't move at all... Fortunately he managed to park the car before passing out (if that's indeed the case) instead of going into the barriers or something... No news so far, but FIA's statement said he was taken to the hospital for precautionary checks, so hopefully it's nothing too serious.
nudge Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Not a heatstroke, after all - just read that according to Gelael's father, he's got a fracture in his mid-back, will be out for at least 2 weeks
Administrator Stan Posted August 16, 2020 Administrator Posted August 16, 2020 wow. Hope he's gonna be okay!
nudge Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Gelael will be out for at least 6 weeks sucks for him, will miss most of the remaining season, it seems. Will be interesting to see who replaces him at DAMS. Hope it's Vips...

Eco Posted August 28, 2020 Author Posted August 28, 2020 Well - good practice there from Robert. Would be nice if he is able to get on the front row tomorrow.
Eco Posted August 28, 2020 Author Posted August 28, 2020 I guess Ticktum got an okay as he is doing quali right now.

First Samaia's car was on fire, then once everyone was out on the track again, it seems they noticed that one of the armco barriers was still broken.
