Gnarly crash
Now if this kind of crash happened in the 80’s or 90’s he would have been really, really hurt. This shows how safe these cars are nowadays.
Yeah, the big boss of racing died in the 90’s. RIP Senna
Looks like he made the crash himself, which made it an instant karma. Glad everyone’s okay
From what I can gather, this was le crash terrible
Exactement ! :)
Not miraculously alive, there are lots of investiments in safety
miraculously not hurt at all
He caused the crash on his own trying to push the other car wide. Instant karma
Stopped so hard the camera couldn’t react fast enough.
Instant karma
I’m not sure the driver was at fault here. It looks to me that a right side brake may have locked up sending the car into the other Ferrari and then into the wall.
That considering the counter steer he tries to apply.
I agree, at first I thought the driver was an idiot. But maybe something broke off or locked up
I don’t know but I think he would not intentionally try to hit him at this speed, maybe the focus was not 100% or a something went wrong with the steering or the brakes..
