Images of incidents from the second free practice session of the 6 Hours of Spa
The first day of racing at Spa was marked by a number of run-offs. The images have been published by the event organizers.
Much more damage than at Imola. While the drivers were very cautious during the tests in Italy, at Spa, they pushed much harder and pushed the limits. Several cars paid the price.
Between the Alpine #35, the two Ferraris #50 and #51, the Aston Martin #007, and the Mercedes #60 from Iron Lynx, the mechanics had a lot of work.
While the two Friday sessions are not broadcast, the world championship has nevertheless released some videos of these various incidents.
From the first minutes of the second session, Antonio Giovinazzi went to crash, due to cold tires, at the top of Raidillon.
