A spectator at the Formula One Australian Grand Prix suffered a cut to his arm when struck by a piece of debris from Kevin Magnussen's car, putting the spotlight on organisers' safety protocols.
Will Sweet told Australian radio station 3AW he was standing with his fiancée on a packed hill just off turn two at Albert Park during Sunday's race when the Danish Haas driver's car hit the trackside barrier sending his tyre and debris flying into the air.“My arm was covering where my neck would’ve been, but if that had hit my fiancée, it would’ve got her right in the head.
Australian media published a picture of Sweet holding a large piece of debris with blood trickling down his forearm and another showing him having treatment from a medical official at the track. The race's organisers are already under scrutiny after a large number of fans invaded the track near the end of the race.
