Sometimes after a whopper, you’re stunned or have the wind knocked out, so it takes a while to return to full operation. But if the car’s not on fire, probably best to wait for the emergency crew.
This is a pretty cynical comment, but the drivers know the camera is staying on the car probably until they start climbing out. Which means camera time for the sponsor.
So no hurry....
Hmmm...raining in Daytona, hailing here in Spanaway (WA).
