After incredible treatment from all the medical persons involved at the circuit and hospitals he is now, fortunately, thankfully out of danger from a head injury sustained in the accident.

“In the next few days the best options will be decided to treat his various fractures. We would like to thank everyone from our heart’s for their kind messages of support and are sorry we are not able to respond at the moment.We will keep you posted regarding his last medical condition in the next few days and we can’t wait to have him back on track with us.”
