During free practice 2, Carlos Sainz hit a wall in the Ascari chicane. A violent impact that caused significant damage to his car. But the driver was especially shaken at the wheel of his Ferrari.<\/p>\n
If Ferrari is currently conducting its own investigation using cockpit cameras, the FIA is also reviewing the footage of the accident. These on-board images show the extent of the impact. This incident is causing some concern among observers. The Spaniard seemed to be thrown forward, hitting the steering wheel with his helmet, fortunately without serious injury to the driver. However, the FIA states that it is normal for seat belts to give way slightly upon impact. Michael Masi, the race director, wanted to clarify the situation regarding these seat belts.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I think belts are meant to stretch. You have a human body inside it, so there must be some give. You can’t just keep everyone completely bound up. We will look into the stretching of the belt, as we do for any major incident, or important incident like this one, and see what we can learn from it. \u00bb<\/p>\n
