An official statement on the three drivers read:

"All examinations and scans were clear and the three drivers were discharged.
They will be checked again by the FIA doctor tomorrow at 17.00 in the circuit's medical centre to be cleared for racing on Sunday."

Thompson's accident was the biggest as he crashed in to the back of the stationary BMW of Stefano D'Aste (who had left the car earlier).

Muller and Tarquini's crashes were linked to Thompson's as Muller lost control on the slippery surface of the corner where Thompson had crashed earlier.

Tarquini was unable to detect Muller in time and crashed in to his team mate.

Many teams face a hectic time ahead of the two races on Sunday to be able to repair all the damage.
