That wasnt such a bad crash, several years back when mercedes were racing their crash was more immense. Track been made safer and ruined this race but the drivers are being paid danger money and they all know the dangers involved.

yeah it was 1999.
a different incident tho the merc were like previously mentioned had a design flaw. davidson and the two Peugeot last year were all down to a slower ferrari. |

Yup thats the one. Aero package was wrong, Mercedes didnt design the underpan correctly so the air didnt suck the car to the ground.

Well the ugly fin really worked to stop it flipping when it went sideways didn't it.
Toyota have checked the chassis and they say it's intact and can be used again, which shows just how strong the car was.

Mark Webbers flip is not in video form, just pictures but the chassis stayed in tact considering how fast he was going that showed great engineering in protection for the driver.
Peters video below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow3rxq7U1mA or this Porsche flip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsjApAZGHhk&feature=related or this touring car crash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIfzBPJTrKU&feature=related I have found a couple of horrific crashes which were instant death crashes which I wont put on here.
