I've heard that, but what does that really mean? He obviously didn't have any burns. Does an electric shock create neurological problems? More so than a concussion?

No idea, really, only that they were talking about it being the root cause for the erratic behavior into the crash observed by Vettel. Glad I don't have 120 KW strapped to my *ss.

It could be something medical / personal they they do not want to throw out into the media. Diabetes, among other things, could explain some of this.

Oh the drama. Maybe he's just slow in the new car. We'll see, hope he's ok.

Maybe the car had a built in driver improvement program.

Could just be as represented. Concussion - and holding him out for a month to be safe given the attention concussions have gotten recently across the board.

Besides, Mc/Honda aren't likely to set the world on fire the first few races. Why risk your top driver for the long term unnecessarily?
