What a bunch of idiots


The marshalls who overturned the barrichello car are 2 big time idiots

the last thing you want to do is move him, and you especially dont want to let the car slam back to the ground like that

I thought so too! especially when you see his head dangling back and forth like that. There could have been irreparable spinal damage done to Barrichello however, his car could have also burst out into flames as well. Being trapped upside down in a burning cart is not a great scenario either but neither is being a quadriplegic due to incompetent safety crews. They should have waited for a few more people to arrive in order to flip his car over a little more gingerly.

It is pretty shocking to see how they just tumble the car over like that. Sid Watkins and the FIA have done a great deal towards educating the rescue crews now. Thankfully Rubens wasn't injured in that horrible manhandling.
