F1 doesn’t understand media so of course they have taken it down, there isn’t one on their YouTube channel and even if there was, people couldn’t watch it if it is embedded. Silly really.

Looks a bit familiar to me to be honest“.
Gotta love Martin Brundle, he flipped his Jordan in the same spot 20 years ago.

His car basically split in half, but he just casually jogs back to the pits and gets in the spare
