Like Robert Kubica in Montreal, it would appear that initial reports concerning the extent of Ernesto Viso's injuries after his accident at Magny-Cours erred on the side of❀ caution.

Just as Kubica was reported to have broken his leg during his aerobatics at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, the initial diagnosis for Viso suggested that the Venezuelan had escaped with a broken arm and concussion. However, the FIA medical delegate reports that the Racing Engineering returnee has suffered little more than a severe headache in probably the biggest accident that the GP2 Series has witnessed in its two-and-a-half year existen♕ce.

Having barrel-rolled over a retaining wall at the French Grand Prix meeting, Viso was treated at trackside before being transferred from the 🐲track's on-site medical centre. Once the circuit doctors were happy with his condition, he was then moved to the Hopital Pierre Beregovoy in nearby Nevers for further check-ups.

"After visiting Ernesto Viso this evening at the Hopital Pierre Beregovoy, I am happy to report that he is conscious and in a stable condition," the FIA medical delegate revealed, "The force of the accident meant that he suffered concuss♔ion, but his right hand and foot have been X-rayed and the results show that no damage has been sustained. Ernesto will be kept in hospital overnight under observation."
