The Valencia race will go down in the Formula One annals because of the accident involving Webber and Kovalainen and all the subsequent events triggered off by it.
Apart from all the comments relating to the management of the Safety Car period and the way in which it led to ten drivers being penalised, the most important aspect of the event is that Mark Webber emerged virtually unscathed from an accident that was as spectacular as it was horrifying.
“I already mentioned it yesterday afternoon, at the very start of the press meeting,” Ferrari's Stefano Domenicali said today. “We all breathed a sigh of relief when we saw Mark get out of the cockpit of his car unaided. Accidents like this serve to remind us to always be aware that safety is the number one priority in our sport and that, no matter how much work has already been done in this area, one must never get complacent about it.” |
