Charles Leclerc thankfully was able to walk away from a truly scary crash at the Italian GP on Sunday.
The race was briefly suspended after the Ferrari team member lost control of his car at the Autodromo Nazionale in Monza, Italy. Leclerc, who won this race last year after starting in the pole position, started P13 in the race.
The 22-year-old driver had fought his way all the way up to fourth following a restart when he slammed into the wall.
It marked a disastrous day for Ferrari at their home track. Sebastian Vettel, who qualified in 17th (!) position, was forced to retire after sustaining brake failure.
Watch the crash below:
Camera man needs a raise.
Leclerc okay, but an awful crash to Red Flag the race so the barrier could be fixed.
Slowed it down to really show you the impact. Looks like a mistake – bit of a tankslapper he never got back.
His running form is excellent, atleast #ItalianGP pic.twitter.com/Ua22tOLar6
