Correa 'very grateful to be alive' after Hubert crash

American driver Juan Manuel Correa has posted a video for the first time since he suffered serious leg injuries in the Formula 2 crash which killed Anthoine Hubert.

Correa collided with Hubert's car at high speed after the Frenchman had lost control at the top of the fearsome Raidillon corner at Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps circuit on Aug.31. Hubert was pronounced dead several hours later, while Correa has been in hospital ever since.

After initial surgery Correa was transferred to the UK, where he was placed into an induced coma having fallen into a state of acute respiratory failure.
