    Hope him well at Virgin Racing. (Former Manor Grand Prix which Lucas drove for in Euro F3)

    What detached from inside the car during the crash? It looks like a partition or harness of some sort.

    I know what you are describing but i don't know its actual name.
    Its a removable device that allows for the driver to have a soft pad in case of an impact that causes serious horizontal head movement.



    Most of the time, i see the driver get in the car and it is installed after he is seated and vise versa when they get out.
