Marcus Ericsson walked away relatively unscathed after losing control at 220mph during practice for the Italian Grand Prix on Friday. Ericsson’s Sauber hit a wall and rolled three times after it appeared his DRS failed to close under braking. The car came to a standstill the right way up and Ericsson was helped out of his car by marshals and taken to Monza’s medical centre.
At the first turn of the opening lap of the 2018 Belgian Grand Prix, Sauber's rookie driver Charles Leclerc suddenly found the top of his car being used as a skateboard rail by Fernando Alonso's airborne Renault. Both drivers subsequently walked away from their smouldering wrecks.
