Latest news! Sophia is allowed to leave the hospital in 1 or 2 weeks.
Although we never know what would have happened without sausage kerb, but in this case it was propably one of the lucky reason why Sophia and Sho survived with relatively minor injuries.That sausage kerb though, WTF is it doing there
very interesting link. the yellow car was lucky as hell she got as airborne as she was, two feet lower and this chap would now be one head shorter. pretty good advert for the halo missing with these cars, pure luck she did not hit his head at 250 km/h sideways ...Here is photo sequence (bellow in the article) right before the impact.
Now we can discuss role of that curb "involved"...

hmmm good call, without it she would have smashed hard into the other car and then both would have hit the armco.
Was going to be a side by side impact + the barrier, so best possible situation actually because that's the part of the cars with more protection.Which might have left Sophia in a better position, because her car would have already lost a lot of energy ( to the other car ) before impacting anything stationary. Side impacts are something cars are built to handle, too. Didn't happen, so we'll never know, anyway.
Well, at least Sophie's team boss can call himself some kind of a specialist in this matter. He said everybody was damn lucky that it went that way. And that it would have been much worse for drivers if they have crashed first each other and then tyre barrier.Was going to be a side by side impact + the barrier, so best possible situation actually because that's the part of the cars with more protection.
Some people that call themselves especiallists are basically saying it was better for her to dodge everything made to handle crashes and hit something that was not made fo rit. What the heck!
