Shocking accident, so much force in the impact, hope he is okay but that was a bad hit. You would think after all these years of racing there they would know when to stop a race due to poor visibility.

Really nasty, that sort of water on the track should have resulted in a slightly earlier stoppage or the SC out - as it was a lot worse than the start of the actual race!

however double waved yellows should be "be prepared to stop" and he was obviously going a lot faster than he probably should have been.

Hopefully he continues to make progress though, as no one likes a reminder how dangerous the sport is!

I truly wish him well and pray that he can recover.

Looking at that accident; the speed and angle of impact against such an object - I can't see it to be honest.

We all have a degree in hindsight. It was an accident. I hope that they don't go hunting someone to blame.

Lucky none of the marshals were taken out.

Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

Nasty, hope he has a full recovery.

I noticed the green flag.

The machine was close to its weight limit, if you watch as it reverses it is bouncing up and down. Coupled with the wedge shape of the back meant that he went under the back lifting it. I suspect the stronger cockpit of the modern cars will have helped, an unloaded machine would have been worse.

Still being reported as critical but stable by the FIA, easy to be wise after the event I guess but I can't help but think they should have deployed the SC while the recovery vehicles were attending to Sutil's car.

I wish him all the best, but he faces a long road to recovery.

But they were originally waving the yellow flag changing it to green once the first car was in the air.

That was because as the truck moved back it was taken from his zone so he changed to green
