tisme Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/31713292 So he had a slight shunt during testing in Barcelona - all played down by McLaren of course but three days in hospital and then missing his first race? I know we're all "concussion" aware now (including the Six Nations Rugby), but I'm intrigued !! Perhaps the McLaren Honda is not to his liking but surely he can't have got cold feet already? Come on Jenson - your chance to show what we're made of............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Pretty sure it's just concussion and playing it safe - muddied by some comedy PR by McLaren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKER Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 133mph shunt is quite an impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Also it was a sideways impact, so will have had more effect. Bad news though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkymart Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Did anyone see the reports when he had his crash that he was unconscious when he hit the wall and some reports where saying he was electrocuted by his ERS unit and there was signs of burning on the side of the car.... Tinfoil hats at the ready lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tisme Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I guess we wait and see what happens in Malaysia http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/31732315 I do wish him well though - not the start to the season he'd have wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
