The Hispania mechanic who was injured during Sunday's Italian Grand Prix is 'out of danger'.
The unnamed mechanic was making adjustments to Sakon Yamamoto's radio during a routine pitstop when the team's lollipop man released Yamamoto prematurely.
As the Japanese driver drove off, the mechanic was thrown to the ground, resulting in injuries that required the trackside ambulance to be called to the pits to attend to him.
Two days later, the news on the mechanics condition is positive.
"Our colleague is still in hospital under observation," an HRT team spokesperson GPUpdate.
"He is out of danger but he will still have to stay in hospital until the doctors say so, as he suffered a very hard fall.
"He suffered a cranioencephalic traumatism and has hurt his neck and damaged one of his knees."
Hispania were fined $20,000 by the race stewards for the unsafe release of a driver.
