It never even crossed my mind that you could be injured this way. you would think safety officials would have taken this kind of thing into account… i look forward to seeing you come back stronger 💪

I think the cars are designed just fine to protect the more common injuries from more common crashes in normal conditions. These sausage kerbs feel like the danger, but this also could be just the unfortunate consequence of being in a race car with a very stiff suspension and stiff seating. Truly a freak incident imo cus most never really worry about a downward compression injury

Unfortunately the FIA only acts when people are killed, regardless of how many people break their spines. And for the record, at least 4 by sausage kerbs

Hi Abbie, I hope you continue to rest up and recover. Be well.

Great to see you have recovered, Abbie.

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

@Abbie, we’re here in Miami training the crews for the race and we’re using what we learned from your crash to pass along to the Miami team…C YA soon.

I wish you recover swiftly and without long term damage. Much love from Romania!!!

I saw that and I was so confused as to what happened and they didn’t show it on the broadcast. Anyways get well soon Abbie!

What on earth are obstacles like that doing on a race track?

I was thinking the same thing. They might as well put some concrete poles there too.

@Jeffery - there is a long history of racing drivers who will shorten the track to gain advantage of rivals, regardless of whether it is safe to do so. Ideally, the management systems to prevent that sort of cheating are on the insides of corners, at the slowest point of the corner. However, there are some places where more is gained by maintaining a wider line at higher speed by deliberately running wide on corner exit, and so officials have put the devices out where they will become effective if all four wheels have exceeded the track limits, this means if a driver makes a mistake, or is pushed wide during feirce competition, they run afoul of the devices. And, its something that occurs at all levels of motorsport, such as for the aptly named Wall Of Champions at the Canadian F1 circuit

Abbie, I wish you get well soon. To me your are a superb driver, determined and hard working. I hope to see you up and about soon. Greetings from Mexico chica veloz 😉

No idea how sausage curbs are still used I thought they banned them years ago before this accident for launching cars like the Singapore chicane

Keep getting better, Abbie. Look forward to seeing you back in a car ❤️

Get well soon, Abbie.

Really hope that you start to feel better and will be back soon at the wheel

Ouch. Glad you're recovering. Do you think you can rally support among other drivers on having tracks get rid of the sausages?

That was nasty Abbie, hope rehab is going well.🍀

Get well soon Abbie!

Ayayayyay hoping you are feeling better at least! Do they make suspension seats? Could save you from something like that

I hope you are feeling better get well soon 🤕👍🌹🌹🌹

Get well soon kiddo.

👏

They ought to just put an anti tank mine in their place, since clearly they think killing drivers who have accidents is better than painting a white line and saying if you touch it you have to slow down

Felt weird hitting like on this because I don’t like anything about you being injured. Of course respecting your privacy but a video update I’m sure we would all love.

Keep fighting Abbie💪🏼😘✌️

Hey Abbie, hope your well. At least you can boast that you did a wheelie with it. No, joke, just kidding. It looks like a hard hit.

Hope recovery is going well!
