The experienced Bernd Mayländer was at the wheel of the Aston Martin Safety Car, but would find the tyre barriers at the iconic Parabolica turn, in what was described as a ‘high-speed’ crash.
Fortunately, nobody was injured in the incident as recovery vehicles went about removing the stricken Safety Car from the barriers.
