just hoping for good news now. Fitting for RHR to win as he is in a Andretti car. |

I hope Justin Wilson is ok. But I can't deny everybody's faces didn't look well, specially Michael Andretti. |

I hope the delay before the Heli took off wasn't due to CPR they had to perform on him. This is terrible, let's hope for good news .

So it's serious, not just for precaution. Let's hope Wilson makes a full recovery. |

I'm totally on the closed cockpits bandwagon now. If a little spring can cause the injuries to massa at lower speed... This is far worse. |

I hope they can figure out a safe way to add closed cockpits for single seaters. The NHRA system will not work for circuit & oval racing in my opinion. |

Well...I believe this may raise a new debate on closed cockpits....remember this Penske? Not 100% closed but quite safe IMO.

You can't be prepared for everything, this is open wheel racing and it should stay this way. |

I'll try my best not to speculate, but I'm hoping for the best for him. |

iono, modify the fenders and you pretty much have an Indycar.

I think the issue there would be how little room that gives the safety workers to get in and work on the driver. That's a really small opening. Perhaps if there were a few quick-release fasteners just inside the cockpit a setup like that could be useful. |

I'm not a fan of the closed-cockpit system, but if there's a way to implement them safely while simultaneously let safety workers tend to the wrecked driver in a quick and precise manner, I'm for it. |
