Driving error with consequences
“Total loss!” Fire after wild Formula 1 crash
A driving mistake with bitter consequences: Williams driver Logan Sargeant went off the track in the third practice session at Zandvoort on Saturday and wrecked his car. It even burst into flames shortly afterwards. Fortunately, the 23-year-old American was uninjured.
"That's a total loss," said ServusTV expert Mathias Lauda after Logan Sargeant's wild crash.
With wheel on the grass
What had happened? After turn three, Sargeant hit the grass with a wheel, but the Williams driver kept his foot on the gas. He then lost control of his car and crashed heavily into the barrier.
Sargeant unhurt
"I'm okay," he immediately radioed to his pit box. But then things had to move quickly, because the car caught fire after the accident. Fortunately, Sargeant was able to get out of the car quickly and remained uninjured.
Beautiful scene: the competitors immediately inquired about Sargeant's state of health. Practice had to be interrupted for a long time.
The result of the third practice session:
Best time for Gasly
Alpine driver Pierre Gasly set the fastest time. However, due to the long interruption (more than 40 minutes), it was a practice session without any meaningful results.
