More details of the Schumacher crash

Further details are emerging about Ralf Schumacher's accident at Monza yesterday and it seemed that the car did not hit the barriers as was first reported but rather that it flipped several times.

"I can only say that I have seen the accident," Monza spokesman Giorgio Beghella Bartoli told the ANSA news agency "I don't know whether it was driver error or a car failure. The car rolled several times but did not hit the barriers."

Schumacher was unhurt in the crash but spent the night under observation in hospital.
