"We've got wan kar upside down..."

Typical Aussie language.
 
Lando Norris brushes a wall, George Russell follows his example and costs himself a likely podium with only a few corners to go, spoiling a great final lap showdown in the 2023 Singapore GP.
 
it looks like we found the real essense of F1

 
Yuki Tsunodi living up to the Daihatsu Midget name.

Reminds me way too much of that Late Model driver from years ago (who was way bigger, making it nutty he could even get that far off the ground)
 
Rally Argentina in the 2001 WRC. Up on a stage, 10 spectators cars were caught up in a fire. Cue the emergency services to head out to the scene. Unfortunately, one water tanker clipped a Skoda team member on the way and rolled, severely damaging both Skoda WRC cars. No one was seriously hurt but Skoda pulled out, understandably so.

Massive accident in Super Formula at Suzuka, car went over the fence at 130R and ended up in Degner curve. Driver suffered a concussion but no other major injuries.
 
Some more pictures of the accident.
 
Suzuka has had a seemingly large proportion of colossal accidents recently. Runoff lengths and upgrades probably required Tbh.
None of walls prone to being hit are particularly easy to move back though.
 
Helicopter almost shot out of the sky

 
In all fairness, he would not have had a long time to ponder his options.
 
Things that would never happen today: raiding a Le Mans 24 Hour winning car for spares 3 months after its victory to get your own title-contending racer on the grid after a qualifying shunt.

 
Big crash in the Abu Dhabi 6h



It's a bit unclear what exactly happened, and as far as I'm aware there's no footage of the actual crash itself

However the crash happened, he would’ve been feeling it the next morning.
