Stephane Ortelli suffered a huge crash during yesterdays Monza race, amazingly he only suffered a broken ankle.

Watch how close he comes to the Audi, not once but twice.
:eek:

the 2nd time he was miles away and not a near miss at all ?

That is a REALLY big one, he is VERY lucky to be alive!

Ok I was referring to the debris flying off the car for the second one.
:rolleyes:

Cor blimey that crash is insane. I dont think he could get any closer to that audi if he tried, almost as bad as the peter Dumbreck crash, amazing how safe these cars are nowadays to get away with minor injuries.

Wow!

Bet the guy in the Audio bricked it when he saw that go past!

Oil surely?

not you, the commentators made the same comment as you, you were only quoting them so that was more a dig at them than you.

So you can crash like this and plow a McLaren F1 car into a wall at 140 and be relatively fine!

My god Modern Motoracing cars are safe!

Bump seemed to send it sideways and then it just snapped and went. Crazy crash, glad the driver is relatively unscathed.
