Jean Alesi & Alain Prost, 1993

I'm betting Alesi finished 2nd in that battle too.:P
 
And the Scuderia Ferrari team look like extras from Les Misérables. Talk about on death's door!
 
Plus the timer in the background of the second shot would suggest this was attempted at the very end of the drivers run, the perfect time to attempt something that would end the run early if they had landed on their roof instead!
 
Must've had a MASSIVE lock up and lost the car completely.

Say it'd be more likely to be a possible brake or suspension failure than a lock up, considering how the car suddenly veered off, something a simple lock-up wouldn't really cause, especially so suddenly.

Suspension failure, I'd say, or a front disc failure. Both rear tyres leave impressive skid marks from the point where he first braked. Do your own joke.
