The rules in all wheel to wheel racing put the responsibility for passing safety directly on the passer. Vettle phlucked up!

Hope he gets FF points for airtime... That was at incredible closing speed and looked like a double move. Clipping the inside wall could have been more disastrous but looks like it flipped him back the right way up which was then lucky for the next big hit into the tires.

I was so glad to see him get out of that car. I thought his luck had changed....but it looks like he is back to the unluckiest guy in F1.

When you watch the footage, have a look at the DHL sign that must be a few metres in the air...!

jcraigau - Absolutely! If he got tangled in the wire on the inside fence, it could have thrown bits in all directions. Scary to think about.

He's got to be getting used to these airborne manouveres, 2 for Mercedes, 1 for Red Bull. 3rd time lucky.

That was a scary looking crash for sure. My wife and I were watching it and were so relieved to see him walk away from that one.

It is so good to see that all of the safety measures that F1 has implemented over the years are paying off. I don't think the results of that crash would have been the same 20 years ago.
