Inevitably, Maria de Villota has been in many people’s thoughts as the F1 circus gathered at Silverstone Thursday, and fortunately, Marussia team sources have given positive news, saying the Spaniard had a comfortable night and there have been no additional complications.
Meanwhile, many drivers have expressed their sympathy for her plight, although, understandably, they didn’t want to talk about what might have caused the incident.
“Obviously, we are very worried for this situation because we are still waiting for some more news,” said her compatriot Fernando Alonso. “We only know what you all know and there are still some difficult days until the situation is completely clear, and the operation has passed completely, etc.
“Sad days, for sure, completely shock when you hear the news and how what happened is possible. Obviously, we don’t know all the information; it’s difficult to talk about the reasons, etc., until we know the official version but at the moment, it’s so difficult to imagine how this can happen.”
“First of all, our thoughts are with her, and we all feel very sad to hear about the consequences,” said Michael Schumacher. “None of us has any details of what actually has happened, and therefore I don’t feel it will be right to comment at this point in time. I just wish her well and a good recovery.”
