No broken bones for Viso.

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 existence.

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 concussion, 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."
