I came round again in the hospital at Goodwood to see Dario Franchitti lying in the bed next to me. ‘What happened to you?’ I asked. ‘Had an accident,’ Dario replied. At which point we both slipped back into unconsciousness. Apparently this short question-and-answer routine went on in both directions about 10 times over the following six hours as we both slipped in and out of consciousness before we were taken off to our respective rooms for overnight admission.
