They both exited the cars under their own power, but the toyota driver Davidson went to the Hospital with back pain to find out he has 2 cracked vertebra

No, just a piss poor move by the Ferrari driver (he tried to pass it off as the toyota drivers fault lol)

Ferrari guys fault. They weren’t gong 200 either. Both looked to be on the brakes setting up for the corner. Ferrari guy probably didn’t know the Toyota was coming up on the inside.

There is no braking for that corner in an LMP1 car, you are flat out at top speed (200+mph) where he was clipped.

Hrmm, I went back and looked, and it still doesn’t look like anywhere near 200 for the Toyota. Maybe it’s the angle. Looks like the Ferrari is going 120ish and the Toyota maybe 140. It looks like the Toyota scooted up alongside of the Ferrari then braked a touch to setup for the corner, then the Ferrari just turned into him.
