N.B.
The present methods of ressucitation on the road can help the driver during disincarceration and extraction and avoid additional injuries.
It must be made clear that there may sometimes be a considerable lapse of time between the accident and transportation to hospital.
Because the Monaco circuit lies within the town and the medical structures are numerous and specialized, its specifications are much superior to those, strict enought, imposed by the Medical Commission of the F.I.A.
