“It’s violating privacy and I think it’s disgusting. I had one conversati­on with (my PR rep) and I told him, if it was to happen to me, the only one who will say anything to anyone will be my wife. That’s something no one needs to know.” — Four-time open wheel champion Sebastien Bourdais who was bothered that the more lurid details of James Hinchcliff­e’s injury were reported. Hinchcliff­e, pictured, was ruled out of racing indefinite­ly when a broken wishbone punctured the popular Canadian driver’s left leg, causing significan­t blood loss, during practice at the Indy 500. Graphic details reported about where and how the wishbone slammed into his body angered Bourdais. “The fact that he got hurt by a piece of suspension, you don’t need to go into details with where he got hurt, of where it penetrated, where it went through, where it ended. Sorry. That’s just gross.”
