Car lands upside down after flipping over other racers

A chaotic three-car crash during an F2 sprint race at the Austrian Grand Prix left one drive upside down after going airborne and flipping over two competitors.

No drivers were injured and the race was immediately red flagged.

The incident occurred on Lap 2 at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria as Trident’s Sami Meguetounif tried to make an inside move on Red Bull’s Arvid Lindblad in Turn 3. Meguetounif and Lindblad made contact, sending the former’s car soaring over the top of Williams’ Luke Browning in a terrifying scene before Meguetounif’s car came to rest upside down on the track.

On radio, Meguetounif was heard explaining to his team that he got squeezed on underbreaking, which closed the gap he hoped to exploit.

Thankfully everyone ended up OK and all the safety procedures in place worked as planned. What an absolute scene in Austria.
