Seems like when it rains it pours. Tailing off this thread:
https://www.vadriven.com/forums/automotive-gallery-87/henry-surtees-18-year-old-driver-dies-after-being-struck-head-tire-302165/



A random spring from a brawn GP car hit's Ferrari driver Massa when he was going full speed down a straight in Hungary. I think pure instincts make him hit the brakes after an impact like that. Another inch or so lower and I doubt he would have both eyes. BBC is reporting he is OK.

Watch slow mo @ 1:20.

Rumor is they mildly sedated him because he was 'agitated'.

It looked like the spring was just in the air? How far ahead was the Brawn car?

Not sure. Rubens Barrichello said that he felt something break then the rear end got loose.

I didn't see another car on track anywhere in the view of the camera, that's why I'm confused...

+1

It would seem that if it fell off of Ruben's car it would be lying on the track. Unless the camera is playing tricks on my eyes it's in mid air?
