Driving around at speeds between 200 and 300kh and what almost kills you, a spring weighing a few grams.

I hope Massa comes out of this OK.

A suspension spring in an F1 car weighs a bit more than a couple grams, lets say more like a couple kilos...going at that speed, it's really going to make a mess.

Thanks for the info Hyack.
Looking at the video, it didn't seem all that big.
As you can see, I'm not a big racing fan.

Watch the bouncing spring....you might have to watch it a couple times to really see the impact.

You have to take that relatively since the two are running at quite the same speed. The spring didn't hit him @ 200 km/h.
