    my friends at HPD, just a few weeks ago in town for Mid Ohio, were telling me just how great he was for developping cars in testing. So invaluable for Honda since Pagenaud left for Chevy....

     

    Not many racers are great at feedback for engineers... He, Dixon, and Pagenaud were the best at it in the current pack

    Here's to hoping Justin Wilson pulls through.. It's not looking good at all...

     

    The live shot I saw showed his head slumping right after the initial impact on the wall (well after the 17kg nosecone hit his head and bounced off his head full about 100 yards straight up) until he finally came to a stop.... He was KOd right when that cone hit his helmet.

     

    Some guy told me he saw a shot of his helmet and how bad of a shape it was in... I haven't seen it, but I surmise it's much worse than Felipe Massa when a small suspension spring hit his helmet at 140mph in 2009 in Hungary... and that spring is under 5% of the weight of the nosecone that hit Wilson, and at a much slower speed (215mph compared to 140mph)

    I recently discovered AvE on youtube (guy who made mower video). He is one of the funniest and smartest commentators I've yet to find on youtube. His machine work, electrical knowledge, and tool disassemblies are awesome.

     

     

    I only discovered him 2 days ago
