These two happened in the same track, same day , at the same corner, in the same way, same flips, same banging at the same safety tyres.. only the drivers and car was different…and F1 accident happened just after few hours of that of GP2 accident…

These accidents reveal, how thin the rope which the aerodynamic engineers have to ride on, to get the car on ground at such a high speed (remember, these cars were not at their top speed, when this accident happened). Just a small increase in the amount of air-flow under the car, turns the car to a jet plane without flight control cockpit.

Also, these accidents reveal, how high the safety measures are in those cars. The driver walking alive after such high speed, high intense crashes, is absolutely amazing. just remembered how the LegendaryAyrton Senna was killed in an accident. This sport has learned a lot and come way far in terms of safety standards.

Interestingly, in both the races, the other member of that Team, went ahead to win the Race. Sebastian Vettel for RebBull Racing and Marcus Ericsson for Super Nova!
