One of the weirdest crash in Formula 1 history has happend today at Hungary GP 2009 Second Qualify Session. Barrichello has lost his a rear spring and it crashed into Massa’s helmet at very high speed. I try to understand how this crash happend and make an illustration photo but it really looks mystic. That spring must jumped off and went all the way back to down hill without crashing any object? I’m not even mentioning a small forrest you can see in the photo above.
You can see in the live footage that spring is flying like a bullet. Even F1 helmets are the most safest and strongest helmets in the world, Massa’s helmet got a big crash impact. He lost his consciousness and crashed into the barrier. Thanks God he is OK now but he wont race tomorrow. I bet this is the most WTF moment in his life if he could see that thing flying to him.
Get well soon Massa!

I agree with the people below me, the picture has been pointed to the wrong part of the track. HAMILTON IS THE BEST!!!!!
Barrichello’s spring fell of a corner later, on the same straight as Massa. It’s not a mystery.
Hi!
It’s simple. This picture is wrong. Because the spring jumped off in a previous corner. Before the straight. (The left side of the photo) Jumped off, and flew after Rubens’s car.
