Robert Wickens has suffered a broken arm, legs and spinal injuries from this accident, thoughts go out to all friends and family and let’s hope for a fast recovery for this quick youngster.
And now just yesterday he got into a race car for the time thanks to Bryan Herta with hand controls. His drive and determination is inspiring, and almost scary.
Not too many years ago, this crash would've killed him. Any other cars, this crash would've killed him (besides NASCAR) no other cars are designed to handle crashes at these speeds
For anyone wondering he’s doing sim racing now on Twitter and is using a walker to get around, I’m glad he’s been able to recover thus far after such a terrible crash :(
Tom McGlone He got lucky to not hit at an extreme head on angle and his HANS device worked properly. Think he also got lucky because he was slowed down slightly by being turned around into the fence prior to the crash.

Wikipedia -"On 14 January 2022, it was announced that Wickens will compete in the 2022 Michelin Pilot Challenge with Bryan Herta Autosport. This will be Wickens' first return to racing since his accident at Pocono.[44] In his first race at Daytona, Wickens and co-driver Mark Wilkins scored a podium with a third placed finish"
Thank god he is walking again, it always stings to see a driver be unable to continue the dream of racing many of us have, but he has a long life to live and will continue improving his condition so that's all you can ask for
Indy cars really don't belong racing in circles anymore, they're too dangerous at these speeds. They really stick with road tracks and only race at Indy for the one oval
Dude I was sitting here thinking the same thing, it takes Nascar like 10 seconds after the car has stopped, these guys took forever. Looks like a bunch of bums coming to the rescue....
John Holmes so because you said a really crappy horrible thing about Wickens and his girlfriend leaving him you have a problem? You can say shitty stuff about people but you can't take abuse back? Go take a seat at the kids table and play with your crayons.
Maybe an area of transparent perspex above the main crash barrier would help stop cars going into the fence on this type of track.. it's never pretty when they do
That should be a severe penalty for Ryan Hunter-Reay ... especially after his post race interview. He basically admitted to just turn into him despite the spotter clearly saying inside and he knew he was still there. Robert Wickens was with the half car alongside at entry!
MetalMastodon You seem not to understand how oval racing works and the racing rules of motorsports in general (incl. gentleman's agreement) If someone is halfway alongside you, you don't turn in, no matter if he deserves to be there or not. They drive at over 200 mph (300+kph) and you wanna risk the drivers lives? Also Wickens has a right to be there and also in fairness he was not just with his frontwing there, he was with half the car next to him - that is pretty substantial - at the point of contact it looks like a lot less, because Wickens realized that Hunter-Reay is going to turn into him, so he tried to pull out (notice also how he was driving on the yellow inside line already trying hard to avoid contact)! If he had enough momentum, we would have seen at the next corner - taking the rest of the race as reference he probably would have been alongside in the next corner again - but everything someone says in that regard is speculation. Yes it was kinda intentional. He knew that a car was there, the spotter told him aswell - never cleared him. He turned into him on purpose in that way, which he admitted. This must be punished, especially because Hunter-Reay doesn't realize his mistake! *This is so wrong:* _"Going into turn 2 at Pocono is not a place you really want to pass someone unless it is going to be complete BY entry. And if RHR had moved up, he likely would have just ended up in the wall himself"_ We saw sidebyside in that race (and also in the past) in the corners with no problems! I remind you, this is one of the top tier openwheeler motorsports (in regards to ovals it is the top tier you can drive in), these guys are experienced and not some amateurs ; you can clearly expect such things! _"Instead he did what almost any driver would have done"_ - expect for douches, no driver turns into other cars on purpose.
Welp, that's what happens when you'd rather hold your line from behind and initiate contact vs a tap of your brakes. Its lap 8 of 200, so not sure when him and other similarly over agressive drivers are thinking in these stiuations, but often times the driver in front is in more danger in these situations and drivers from the back never think twice about initiating contact when all they'd have to do is just a little nanosecond off the throttle.
He's on a wheelchair yet still recovering. He's able to walk, but still struggling. You can check his instagram account for his recovery updates @robertwickens
What I find deplorable and unacceptable is the delay of the response teams. There are many places in the world that in less than 10 seconds there is at least a marshall nearby and very often at the same time an instinctor.
The response time was fine you can see the first AMR track coming around the bend as some of crashed cars are still rolling the truck nearest the camera was likely held for a few seconds because it had to go the wrong direction on the track to get to the cars.
Yeah, You see F1 track like spa of 7km and marahalls are there in less than 20 sevonds, while in Indy and specially NASCAR, i mean its an oval track, you can get there real quick
on the seconds of the video the accident around 0:34, car # 6 the marshall arrives around 1:05 so 30 seconds a chance that there was no fire and the automatic systems do not always work depending on the damage . Car # 5 around 1:40 so 65 seconds, car 28 2:10 so 96 seconds !!!!!!!!!! pitiful, drivers can burn several times ............ In F1, these delays are not acceptable.
@@Loulovesspeed are you fucking serious????? They're speeds are way higher on oval tracks. Do yourself a favor and don't reproduce fucktard. Yes it did matter you fucking idiot.
nytia117 I’m from America but f1 is much more enjoyable to watch and f1 is miles ahead technological wise. F1 is much harder to drive than Indycars at ovals.
I just want to know why the safety crew is so slow. That one truck came around pretty quick but the guy driving the red truck acts like he is lost. Driving really slow when they should have been on the track.
Today marks 1258 days since Robert Wickens raced competitively after people thought he’d never race again. Daytona, racing for Hyundai, would see him claim his maiden podium. What an absolute hero! 🏆
I remember watching this live as it happened. I was horrified. At the time it was the worst accident I'd ever seen as a racing fan, unfortunately Ryan Newman's near-fatal crash at the Daytona 500 in 2020 eclipsed this for said record. I was scarred so much from this specific incident, however, that in fact, I couldn't watch these guys go back out and race again when the damn thing was restarted. I couldn't look at the tv screen and see the cars fly by at breakneck speeds without thinking of the lap 7 accident and the uncertain outcome it had at the time. It was just too traumatizing. In all the years I've watched motorsport to this day, that's the only time I could recall watching a race scared after a crash. Unforgettable. Glad Robert survived. Not sure how long it'll be until he's back behind the wheel after the gruesome crash he accidentally caused, but I'd be happy as fuck to see him compete after everything that'd went down. At this point if he can muster up a decent recovery and complete a race I'd be happy and my heart would be, or close to being, full. Crashes like this are things I never wish on anyone, even the drivers I despise most. Hopefully we don't see anything like this in IndyCar, other open-wheel series, shit any division, anytime soon, regardless of it being asphalt or dirt.
As a resident of Guelph and an Indycar fan it was devastating to see Wickens crash this badly. Not only because we are from the same city but he was a rookie to Indycar and he was doing so well his first year.
Man, 20 years ago he would not get out of that. Thank God for the safety advancements, as much as we often complain about the 'glory days' when drivers were 'braver'. This is still a dangerous sport, and we count the little blessings that he was able to see another day, and recover slowly.
Was just at the track today staring at that section of turn 2. What an awful feeling watching it live. We all screamed as we saw the sparks across the track and on the screen. Then an awful silence fell over us all. Glad hes getting back into the cockpit again
Bubba wallace Fan Nah I wouldn’t say that. Wickens’ accident was cockpit to fence post while Dillon’s accident was a more full car impact. That’s how Dillon was able to skirt right out of the car uninjured.
I remember being there that day with my dad when this happened. We were watching from the stands when it happened. The entire race was delayed for a couple hours after the crash.
Robert you give me inaspiration I m 65 yrs old and been a true race fan since 1980 when I meet my hubby I've kept up with all your acievents I m so glad your doing better. Ill see you tomorrow at the track on TV. Oh tell your wife she is an a angel god bless you both. Have a nice day.😍
It’s amazing how safe they’ve made the cars and tracks, thought he was dead exceptionally after I seen that big fire ball after he spun thru the fence. Wow
one of the worst non-fatal F1 crashes: *robert* kubica one of the worst non-fatal indycar crashes: *robert* wickens why do i see a coincidence in a way
Watching this accident for the first time in years and it looks just as violent today as it did back then, so happy and proud that Robert is getting behind the wheel again!
Robert Wickens has suffered a broken arm, legs and spinal injuries from this accident, thoughts go out to all friends and family and let’s hope for a fast recovery for this quick youngster.
Jesus Christ. Hope he recovers quickly.
OH MY GOD! Our Thoughts Go Out To Robert Wickens And His Family 🙏🙏🙏
thanks for posting updates, this was horrific, gave me goosebumps
Can he race again or no

Incredible comeback!
It's amazing how he's still trying to walk again. Rob is a true inspiration for us, the motorsport fans

I guess he never missed leg day
To this day I can’t believe how close Ryan was to losing his head in this crash
Makes you wonder why the HALO took so long to arrive.
Just like the Mike Conway crash in 2010
Robert is a huge inspiration. The doctor said he would never walk again. Now he is, and he is even competing in the IndyCar IRacing Challenge.
And now just yesterday he got into a race car for the time thanks to Bryan Herta with hand controls. His drive and determination is inspiring, and almost scary.
Unfortunately, this accident has left him a paraplegic right now, so let’s pray that time and hard work will restore his ability to walk again.
He's riding exercise bike...

George Rudawsky 0:34 he became a top
George Rudawsky prayers for him, real actual prayers. 💙
Not too many years ago, this crash would've killed him. Any other cars, this crash would've killed him (besides NASCAR) no other cars are designed to handle crashes at these speeds
For anyone wondering he’s doing sim racing now on Twitter and is using a walker to get around, I’m glad he’s been able to recover thus far after such a terrible crash :(
Wickens finished 3rd today at Daytona, his first race since.
Almost reminiscent of Kenny Brack's crash at Texas in 2003.
Oh yeah. Kenny should have been evaporated in that crash. I heard the impact Kenny had with the catchfence was measured at 214g.
Tom McGlone He got lucky to not hit at an extreme head on angle and his HANS device worked properly. Think he also got lucky because he was slowed down slightly by being turned around into the fence prior to the crash.
@@ethanweeter2732 and he got very lucky because his one of his spine row broke and the spine surgery was successful...
The pictures of him getting into the helicopter are not good, yall.
Gotta be honest.
Keep him in your mind.

Or... Put Restrictor plates :)
worst crash in indycar since dan wheldon's fatal crash
Guys my only observation is the speed with which the EMS responded!
After his injurys they said he would NEVER be able to walk again. Look at him now... a true inspiration
My heart just stopped
Could the red rescue truck have gone any slower? And why would it have to drive over a speed bump?!
thisssssssssss
The problem is they can't turn right. I'm 100% sure they were on the radio getting clearance to turn right.
Pocono might think about beefing up their emergency response team. It took them forever to get to some of those drivers.
Yeah, The cars got back around 2.5 miles under yellow and safety crew were still arriving.
Yeah. Indycars safety leve is like F1 in the 60s
Dude I was sitting here thinking the same thing, it takes Nascar like 10 seconds after the car has stopped, these guys took forever. Looks like a bunch of bums coming to the rescue....
Yep not good at all especially when you compare the response to sebastien bourdais’ accident in Indianapolis
With spinal injuries I don't see Wickens racing in any type of car for a long time if he ever dose go racing again
Didnt stop Kenny Brack. He had an accident very similar to this at Texas. Still unbelievable he survived even 15 years on. 214g impact.
We don’t ever know if he will walk again .
John Holmes from what I know his fiancé has been at his side since the accident. So it’s very rude for you to say that.
@@seamusgriffey8738 Here's hoping that we meet so that you have the opportunity to say that to my face.

All of them acting like their lives flashed before their eyes... Scary stuff 😕
Why don't these tracks raise the walls a bit higher? I feel like anytime these cars get tangled up in the fencing it's just absolutely horrible
Fencing is actually designed to keep much heavier cars on the track. If you raise the walls then you need to raise everything else.
He was doing pretty good that whole year people forget
Three turns, three entry angles, three exit angles, all full throttle. This track is scary as f@#k! It's a mental meat-grinder.

Luka Kai nothing they can do. He had a spinal injury from the forces in the crash, not the impact. Not much they can do to prevent something similar
Very slow response from emergency officials. Shameful and embarrassing for the sport
Indy safety crews are the best in the business, the delay if you can even call it that is all track access and layout.
