Any news on Dario?

Since Wiundtunnel is gone It's hard to keep up with auto sports now. Is Dario ok?

I heard fractured spine and ankle. But you just can't trust the press these days.

He was transported by ground to Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, where it was determined he sustained a concussion, a spinal fracture that will not require surgery, and a fracture to his right ankle. He will remain hospitalized overnight.

I am just watching on the DVR, it took to long for the first responders to arrive. I timed it at 95 seconds. I realize cars are still moving on the cool down lap, but that is still too long.

On a track that big, where and how many EMTs are there?

Also were the cars still going around? Didn't it occur to the officials to stop them? Umm

Hindsight is 20/20 and I dont want to be harsh, but an immediate red flag was needed.

I thought the same thing as I was watching it unfold. Usually they're johnny on the spot, even at other street course, but it doesn't look like that track has any good entry points for safety crews.
