Has anyone else seen Ryan Briscoe's smash at the IRL race this past weekend? One of the most horrifying I've ever seen. Luckily he escaped with broken collarbones, bruised lungs and a few other injuries, none life threatening thankfully.

"You just don't mess with Jacques Villeneuve" - Murray Walker, 1997 Hungarian GP.
"When Jacques was with us, he was a very aggressive driver, fiercely competitive, mentally hard as nails. Very quick with it, very gifted. A bright fellow, undoubtedly, very intelligent. He was an absolutely born racing driver - look at the way he'd bang wheels with Michael, pass people on the outside, that kind of thing" -Sir Frank Williams on Jacques Villeneuve
"This year, with BMW, JV's going very well, and I'm pleased for him. Whether or not he'll get a drive next year I don't know, but I hope he does, he's an unusual, and very strong addition to the F1 community. A character." - Sir Frank Williams again on Jacques Villeneuve
The Nojvnof1 2006 driver lineup - Jacques Villeneuve, Nico Rosberg, Christian Klein, Scott Speed.

I saw this in the Paper a few days ago 
Couldn't believe it when I saw it. Hopefully, after a few weeks out, he should be ok again.

yeah me too.....
In 1958 Fangio decided to retire. His explanation for that was unique:
Fangio: "I came to test my car and after a few laps struggling with my `cache` I asked to my engineer: What did you change in the car?"
The engineer: "the shock absorbers. Why? They pay us to use..."
Fangio: "..so I realize that my time was come. I was the one that were in danger at the track, how could they change anything without asking me before? That was not the sport I like...besides that I'm too old...".
He was 47 and very quick yet...

"Schumacher has said he does not want to do anything bad or for anything bad to happen in this race, so I just hope that is what happens for his sake - but this shows how far Ferrari are prepared to go to help Michael win this Championship."
JV - Oct 25, 1997 - after Saturday Practice in the final round of the 1997 championship at Jerez, Spain. The next day would prove just how far Schumi was willing to go...................

I was out of town and could only tape either the F1 race or the IRL race, and there was obviously no choice to be made. Does anyone know where you can download a clip of the crash? Not that I'm voyeuristic or anything, but it sounds quite terrible, and therefore a good reminder just how dangerous motor racing can be...........

now that's one HELL of a 'holy 5h1t!!!" moment....
and he got away with relatively minor injuries? I see that as something of a miracle, but also a testament to the protection the car offered*.. in a car more than a few years older he probably wouldda been killed.
*not taking away from the safety of rally cars so please don't read this comment that way... I see the tragic events at Wales Rally GB as a (hopefully) one-off.

"Obviously I am pleased to have many fans. Who would not want? But to be honest, I have no idea why people like me."
"Do you really think I would be here if it was just about money?" Raikkonen hit back. "I do enough fun things in my spare time than to have to listen to this bullsh*t."
"There is always a lot of talk about the motivation but nobody really knows what I do or what I think except for myself, so I don't really care about what people say."
"There's always talk about my motivation, written by people who don't know me and couldn't have an idea on how strong my motivation is. If I didn't feel I had the motivation, I would stop. My feeling is that I probably drove some of my best races in my last season in Formula One and I was very happy with my performance. I've never had any issues with motivation."
Vodka, ice-creams in the garage, rallying, snow-mobile racing, gorilla suit connoisseur,hitched to former miss Finland, James Hunt appeal, a vacant stare, talks like a Dalek, 1970s caps, Elton John glasses and some people call this guy boring? I wish we had more characters like him in F1
