Brutal...you see cars flying all the time (ok, not all the time), and see them land and roll, with the guy getting up a little bruised up...but the twist this time being that given the location of the crash, and the location of it in the turn, the rolling car struck the wall while still 45 degree angle, so any safety equipment (like a roll bar) is basically useless when it was likely the cockpit directly that hit the wall at that angle.

Wheeldon was inline for $5m if he won the race too? Don't follow Indy Car at all anymore, but he was certainly a top driver.
