Théo Pourchaire is doing well.

The French driver, the victim of a serious collision with Enzo Fittipaldi at the start of the Formula 2 race of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Sunday, gave reassuring news on Twitter in the evening.

“Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I'm doing well overall.

At the moment, I don't know if it's the end of the season for me.

But most importantly, it's not that.

It's because it was really a big accident and Enzo is injured.

I wish him the best possible recovery, ”he wrote on his official account.

Hey everyone,



Just wanted to tell you that I'm globally fine!

For the moment I don't know if it's already the end of the season for me.

But the most important is not that, that was a really big one and Enzo is injured.



I wish him the best recovery possible!

They were transferred by ambulance and helicopter to King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah, ”the FIA ​​added.

The race was immediately interrupted, to start again forty minutes later, then to stop definitively and prematurely after another minor accident and a new red flag.
