One of a driver's worst fears, losing it at ea rouge. Good to see him come away unharmed.

That is pure speculation. The fact is the driver got out unhurt because of proper placement of proper (and proven) safety equipment. A SAFER-barrier is great for a low angle impact, but a driver that spins off and comes in to the wall nose first is gonna have no chance at all. If speed is a factor in this crash, then explain to me why Jacques Villeneuve and Ricardo Zonta are still around, even though they crashed in less safe cars at a much higher speed in a less safe Eau Rouge?

Some nice pieces of Carbon Fibre for the scrapman

you're right about Hazebrouck, but Brabham still raced, finished 22nd

When I started watching the video I thought that was an F1 car.

That's gonna cause some headache! Nice to see how save these modern race cars are.

Hazebrouck, the Brabham car crashed on the warm up lap.

I wonder if mechanical failure? Those tyres sure did the work of absorbing the energy, amazing!!! Thanks for the upload.

Good to see him unharmed. Reminded me a bit to a crash in the DTM I guess, not sure.
