Delayed, the Malaysian Grand Prix will not start again.
Summary of the medical officer
This is Michele Macchiagodena, the edge of tears, that spoke to explain the circumstances of the death of the pilot: "I am very sad to be back here to the death of Marco Simoncelli, who was a friend. In his fall, during which he was hit by other drivers, Marco was very badly hit in the head, neck and chest. He was unconscious when our medical team has supported.
They started cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the ambulance because his heart had stopped. Once at the Medical Center, doctors of the Clinica Mobile and local doctors immediately performed an intubation and were able to remove some blood from the chest . The CPR was continued for 45 minutes because we tried to save him as long as we thought possible. Unfortunately, we could not save him and we have said his death at 4:56 p.m. (local time) " .
The question of the helmet
The shock was violent and high-speed, but many are questioning the fact that Marco Simoncelli has lost his helmet. Paul Butler, race director, said: "I think I will answer that question for another day, but it is certain that the consequences and circumstances of the accident will be a thorough investigation" .
The world of Moto in mourning
The world of two-wheeled sport mechanics, Italy, all the fans and I are still in shock. But the two pilots who will probably hit the lifetime. Colin Edwards, who suffered a fall and dislocated shoulder, may have forgotten the images on the shock, but Valentino Rossi, a compatriot and friend of Simoncelli, already did on his bike after the accident, knowing the severity of the accident. This could sign his premature retirement.
