Sebastien Bourdais, No. 1 McDonald's Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone: source: paddocktalk.com '' I was slowly fading away as the pressure (from the bottom of Tracy's race car) was increasing. Maybe his tire hit me when he came up but it was the bottom of his car that was on top of my head. I probably lost a little consciousness because by the time the whole thing stopped I didn't know if it was a dream or where I was, what happened. I couldn't put everything together. '' '' For example I don't remember (assistant team manager) Kenny (Siwieck) calling me three times or answering him. At some point I started coming out of it and saw people running toward the car. I don't know what happened; I haven't seen the video so I can't comment too much. I know I didn't change my line but don't know how Tracy got on my head. '' '' That's what can happen when you race wheel to wheel. I got turned around and the next thing I knew was that there was a car on top of my head. He missed the rollbar and was pushing me down into the cockpit; I was the shock absorber for him.'' '' I must have started losing consciousness then because the next thing I remember was being stopped in the grass and people coming at me. The design of the cars really helped me because your head is not sticking out much. If it was Nigel's car (that he drove prior to the race morning warmup) from 10 years ago I would have been in trouble.''
