Not exactly how we wanted our weekend at Salzburgring to end.
Unfortunately, I had a pretty big crash. Most importantly, I’m completely fine and walked away without any injuries.
The car, however, didn’t get away quite as easily. The damage is significant, and right now we honestly don’t know what the future looks like.
Over the next days and weeks, we’ll take everything apart, assess the damage properly and figure out if and how we can rebuild it — and how we want to continue from here.
It’s a tough one to accept after everything we’ve put into this car over the last few years. But motorsport has a brutal way of reminding you that mistakes get punished — sometimes very heavily.
And it’s also a reminder that sometimes the smarter decision is simply to lift off, back out of it and wait for another lap. There will always be another opportunity to put a fast lap together. Trying to force it when the situation isn’t right simply isn’t worth it.
This one was my mistake, and I have to accept the consequences.
At the same time, I’m incredibly thankful for all the help and support from friends, family and fellow racers — both at the track and since the accident. It means a lot.
A huge thank you also goes to the track marshals and medical staff at Salzburgring. They did an absolutely amazing and highly professional job from the first second.
And after an accident like this, I really can’t stress enough how important proper safety equipment is. A proper roll cage, a good seat, harnesses, HANS, helmet and the rest of the safety equipment aren’t things to save money on or compromise with. When things go wrong, they can make the difference between simply climbing out of a destroyed car and something much worse.
Cars can be rebuilt or replaced. People can’t.
For now, we’ll clean up the mess, take a proper look at what’s left and then make a decision.
Is this the end of this chapter, or just the beginning of a new one?
We’ll see. 🖤
