Coletti had a huge shunt at Eau Rouge in the GP2 event today, the only camera angle ive seen is poor. Not alot can be seen.

He hit hard and could not remove himself from the cockpit, anyone have any updates on his condition, fingers crossed nothing more than a few bruises.

He seemed to be conscious in the car at least, but I'm also waiting for some updates.

A reminder that the Raidillon is still dangerous.

He was seen waving his arms very vigorously as soon as he came to rest, to indicate "HEY, I'M ON FIRE HERE!" Luckily he hit RIGHT next to an opening in the tyre barriers where a fireman was only a few meters away.

I'm sure he's fine.

Colleti apparently fractured a vertebra but is fine. The mechanic is ok.

Coletti has a compressed vertebrae and bruised feet, but nothing broken. He won't be racing tomorrow though.

The mechanic, Vasco Rossi, wasn't injured in a pitstop, and you wouldn't want to see it anyway.
