Three days after the severe DTM crash during Saturday's race at the Norisring, the full extent of Maximilian Paul's injuries has become clear. As his team principal Gottfried Grasser informed Motorsport-Total.com upon request, the 26-year-old Dresden native suffered "a fibula and a tibia fracture as well as a lumbar vertebra fracture."
Previously, official reports only mentioned a lower leg fracture, which the Lamborghini driver sustained during the unbraked impact into the driver's door of Kelvin van der Linde's Schubert BMW. "He has undergone surgery, everything went well, and he is recovering," team boss Grasser clarified on Tuesday.
