I hope the mechanics are OK!

Has Nakajima signed a contract for next season? If not, I don't suppose today's little incident will help his contract hopes....

Hot, slick tire's and adrenalin can be very dangerous no doubt. I look forward to an update as to the mechanic's condition hoping it's nothing serious.

They said on ITV that there were not serious injuries, although I've no doubts it will hurt in the morning. It was a bad accident, however, he's not the first. Schumacher mowed down one of his pit crew only several years ago.

Michael is not the first driver either too have this happen to them.

I know, I'm merely making that same point. It's the end of the world for Nakajima. Further, if Schumacher can do it, so can just about anybody.

Someone's going to have a sore back come tomorrow morning. Has this incident been uploaded to YouTube yet? Or have the FOM mob removed them already?!

Early indications from Williams are that it's cuts and bruises and nothing more. The hospital was just a precaution to get checked over and make sure everyone was ok

Feel sorry for the kid. 1st GP and that. Hope it doesn't effect him to much as he didn't do a bad job today for his first time

He got his second pit stop right. Glad I wasn't the replacement front jack man for that one! He'll be ok and so will the crew, although he's got some markers out there now.

That's good new's concerning the pit man and the pressure for a good result must have been immense for Nakajima.

I think that's all it was pressure, he had 1 race to earn a contract for next season and probablys was pushing to hard and addreniline combined with nerves can sometimes be cause for mistakes
