Formula One test driver 'stable' following serious crash
On Tuesday, July 3rd, one of
the first female F1 drivers, Maria de Villota, was injured in a freak
accident during straight-line aerodynamic testing on the Duxford
airfield.
In her first outing for the Marussia F1
team, the 32 year old driver from Spain was ending her first run with
new aerodynamic parts aimed for the upcoming Silverstone grandprix
when she hit a stationary team transporter. The spanish was
transferred to hospital with facial injuries after she made contact
with the taillift of the truck which was slightly elevated. Currently
in hospital and conscious, the extent of her injuries are still
unknown.
I am very glad she is no longer in critical condition, I would like to know why she hit the team transporter and why the team transporter was on the track. I hope her injuries heal without any complications and that she can continue her career as a Formula One (test)driver. I hope to see her soon in a race and I hope she won't be the only female driver in Formula One.
