After being discharged this morning, Corser and Dr.
Vicenzo Tota, the team’s doctor, decided that it would be better that he not race for the rest of the weekend.
“Unfortunately I cannot race this weekend.
I feel quite exhausted right now, and I have a pain in my chest.
It was a huge impact, and I am happy I was not hurt badly.
I remember the crash pretty well: I somehow lost the rear, and then I high sided.
I would have loved to race in Brno, but we all agree I need a couple of days to rest now to be able to start in Silverstone.
