Driver walks away from massive F3 crash at Monza
Australian Formula 3 driver Alex Pironi walked away unscathed from a terrifying crash at Monza after his car was sent airborne by hitting a kerb at speed.
Pironi's car was vaulted skywards after he appeared to run wide at the Parabolica corner and made contact with one of the kerbs between the run-off and the track itself. He hit the kerb and was sent into a terrifying spin through the air, with his car landing upside down on the catch fencing on the outside of the corner. Pironi's car appeared to land on the Halo cockpit protection device which was made mandatory in all FIA championships at the start of 2018.
