Pantano, Chandhok given all-clear

Following their accidents in today's GP2 sprint race in Monaco, Giorgio Pantano and Karun Chandhok were given a clean bill of health after receiving treatment for minor injuries.

Chandhok's right hand swelled up following his first corner collision with Pastor Maldonado, which led to him hitting the Armco barrier.

"As I was walking back to the pits, my hand just swelled up massively," he said. "I called in at the medical centre, and they did the whole works: tests and x-rays, the lot. I've got a nice picture of the bones in my hand now, but there's nothing broken."

Pantano also received treatment for an injured arm, after an attempted pass on Marcello Puglisi meant he was punted into the wall, but he also has not broken any bones.

His car and title chances took major punishment, however, as he is now tied for the points lead with Bruno Senna.

Christian Bakkerud has reported no ill effects from his first-corner flight over the rear of Andi Zuber. Bakkerud was forced to miss the last round with a back injury sustained in Barcelona.
