That is a horrendous crash, for her to have walked away from that is both a miracle and a credit to the designers of the monocoque, especially when all the force vectors are opposite what they design for.

In today’s press I saw this described as her having an angel on shoulder during the crash, I wouldn’t disagree having seen the footage. (shocked)

Indeed.

I'd forgot it was Formula 3 (I think..) so I guess that's about the right age for the up & coming drivers.

I saw this a while back while browsing on FB. That is horrendous, looks like the breaks must of failed and she couldn't get the corner speed right so only had one option too carry on. Poor girl glad she was ok afterwards, goes to show much much effort designers go through to protect the driver
