I know she took hell for removing her hands from the wheel as if she was covering her eyes, but she did the right thing. It saves your hands from getting banged up by the wheel. That was a hard impact.
she looked pretty calm and cool IMO.

Glad they had the soft barrier there, that was a hard lick with it, woulda been *real* hard without it.
If it were me and I was heading straight into a wall at 180+ I'd have one hand over my eyes and the other over my asshole.

yup. you learn that really early in racing. leave your hands on the wheel in a crash and your wrists might end up broken.
Once there is no way to control what is going on and you're just along for the ride, there's no sense in putting your hands in harms way anyway.

Unless you are reaching for your sponsor hat to put on as soon as the car has stopped moving after the impact
