A fan was struck by debris from Kevin Magnussen's car after his crash at the AusGP 🇦🇺 F1
“We actually coincidentally had one of our engineering staff there who saw it, and anecdotally it would appear that debris carbon fibre from the wheel hub has shot 20 metres or so in the air, shot up, landed down and lacerated a gentleman’s arm,” he added
“Our people were aware of the incident. It looks as if out was a freak one-off, because you can’t necessarily have these debris fences going 20 metres in the air.“The debris fences are consistent in height around the world. We’re compliant in our FIA regulations, but like everything in motorsport, you do debriefs at the end of the event and see what you can do to improve.Separate from this incident, organisers of the Australian GP were summoned to the stewards after the race.
This was because of concerns over fans being able to access the track at the end of the race when cars were still running.
