Fans watched as driver Billy Monger, 17, careened into another vehicle which appeared to have stopped on the track in front of him.
The train of cars left Monger unsighted and he did not slow in his JHR Developments auto, which went into the rear of Pasma as the cars went through Schwantz Curve. Reports say it took up to two hours to extract him from the auto after he sustained leg injuries in the crash.
"This statement follows an incident involving Patrik Pasma (no. 21 - Carlin) and Billy Monger (no. 23 - JHR Developments) during Round 6 of the British Formula 4 Championship at Donington Park".
Monger was in the auto for 90 minutes before being airlifted to the nearby Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham. He was fully conscious and immediately taken to the on-site medical center.
