Force mechanic escapes serious injury

A Force India mechanic reportedly escaped with nothing worse than a few bruises after being hit by James Rossiter on Thursday morning.

Test driver Rossiter was in action for the midfield outfit on Thursday morning at Jerez, putting in the laps before handing over to Paul di Resta for the afternoon's session.

According to Autosport, coming back into the pits after a run, Rossiter missed his braking point.

As a result the Brit clattered into the front jack mechanic, throwing him into the air.

The mechanic was taken to the track's medical centre where thankfully it emerged he escaped with nothing worse than bruises.
