The vital part of Ukyo Sasahara's car came to a rest on the lower level of the track after a crash at 130R, but he was diagnosed with just a concussion.
Super Formula drivers Ukyo Sasahara and Hiroki Otsu have escaped serious injury after a Saturday crash that sent Sasahara's car into and, ultimately, through the catch fence at the Suzuka Circuit's fastest corner, 130R. Sasahara was diagnosed with a concussion and will miss Sunday's race. Replays show that Sasahara and Otsu went side by side into the 130R corner with Sasahara on the outside.
Given the extent of the crash, Sasahara was lucky to avoid any other major injury. Every part of the car worked as intended, with breakable parts breaking apart in the first collision while the are meant to protect the driver directly stayed intact all the way down to the lower level of the course. The way the car broke without compromising the safety cell was reminiscent of what happened in Romain Grosjean's famous Bahrain crash, although this incident thankfully did not involve fire.
