MOTOR SPORT NEWS - Sebastien Bourdais was transported to hospital for surgery after the French driver suffered fractures to his pelvis and right hip from a crash during qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 on Saturday, officials said.

The former Formula One driver was to be operated on at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital, IndyCar said in a statement.

The 38-year-old Bourdais, who was driving for Dale Coyne Racing, slammed head-on into the safety barriers when his Honda-powered car lost control at Turn 2.

"Sebastien is in good hands here at IU Methodist Hospital with the staff and now we just wait for him to recover," team owner Dale Coyne said in a statement.
