Wow! Glad to see that he is fine. What shocks me is the photo that you posted, look at his arm! Don't they wear arm restraints?

Amazing he was not hurt. In this case, I think he was lucky. That looks to be as bad as it gets.

I always root for Field, mostly b/c he seems like a classic privateer. And he always goes ballz-to-the-wall at the start of every race!

Apparently his rear wing failed catastrophically, and the car went airborne.
