The start of the Formula 3 race in Monza were interrupted by the shocking accident of Alex Peroni (Campos Racing) on the Parabolic curve. The 19-year-old Australian flew out after stepping on the sausage installed in the asphalt escape. After flying over the asphalt, Peroni emerged unscathed from the crash against the protections.
The International Federation (FIA) reported that the pilot, who was able to leave his vehicle on foot, had been taken to a hospital for mandatory medical examinations. The commissioners immediately withdrew the aforementioned deterrent, which he served as a springboard for the Peroni car.
Only the halo, the element introduced in 2018 that protects the cockpit, saved the life of the Australian, who had struck with the head against the barriers were it not for the aforementioned protection bars.
The controversy over safety and asphalt escapes increases its tone a week after the fatal accident of Anthoine Hubert in Spa. Juan Manuel Correa, who is still admitted to a London hospital, was also injured in that incident.
The family of the Ecuadorian-American pilot issued a statement on Saturday informing that Correa is in an induced coma, in a "critical, but stable" state. The worsening of the last hours is due to an "acute respiratory distress syndrome", so the pilot receives "the help of an ECMO machine".
