Spectacular off-track for Hamilton in Austria

Formula 1 experienced a scare again this Friday when Lewis Hamilton suffered a spectacular run off the track and ended up colliding with his Mercedes against the protection fence during the third race of the Formula 1 Austrian GP qualifying. The English driver left by his own foot from the car and fortunately, the strong impact did not have serious consequences.

Everything happened during the Q3 of the Austrian GP classification prior to the sprint race that takes place this Saturday. There, Hamilton lost control of his Mercedes during one of the most dangerous fast corners on the circuit and ended up crashing into the wall.

After what happened last week at the Silverstone circuit, in which the Chinese Zhou overturned and his car hit the fence violently, Hamilton's accident once again filled the paddock with uncertainty.

But after a few seconds of anxiety, the English champion spoke his first words on the radio and got out of the car on his own feet. Of course, the accident caused him to have to start tenth in the sprint race.
