There was more controversy at the German Grand Prix today as a cameraman in the pit lane was hit by one of Mark Webber's wheels

The German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring has seen a bit of controversy today after one of Mark Webber's wheels came loose as he was leaving the pit, and knocked an unsuspecting cameraman to the ground. We hope he's alright, as he was suffering from chest pains and concussion as a result of the incident. Normally, it's mandatory for the crew to wear helmets in the pit, however as he was a cameraman he didn't have one on. Jules Bianchi also had to abandon his vehicle after there was an engine blowout and it caught fire, and afterwards the car began rolling back on to the track dangerously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeQpCCsMOYw An eventful day's racing all told really.
