Alonso hit the rear of Esteban Gutierrez’s Haas while attempting an overtake at over 300km/h on the run down to Albert Park’s Turn 3. The collision saw him slam into the trackside wall before his car flipped into the gravel trap at the end of the straight. Alonso walked away from the accident with nothing more than a rib fracture, underlining the safety of modern Formula One cars.
