Must've locked the rears without the rear downforce, and the uneven grip between left and right due to the wet patch of track made it even worse. Add to that that Ericsson was driving the car, which also made it worse (just kidding)

now that halo is working drivers are feeling more safe to get involved in those crashes?

I think this is all a conspiracy between team Sauber and the FIA to prove the Halo's effectiveness.

Now we've checked off the rollover, and the car landing on cockpit scenarios. I expect the Sauber teammates to follow each other on the straight at some point of the week-end, and one of them to hit the "eject rear wheel" button to finalize the testing campaign.

Huge shunts in the late summer Monza test used to be almost an annual occurance
I think Micheal's shunt there was 2001 (where he rolled again apparently, he made comparisons to his Melbourne flip earlier that year) Courtney's was 2002 where he hit so hard he got concussed and lost the British F3 championship as a result, and I think Ralf Schumacher reportedly Cartwheeled nearly out of the track in 2003 leading to him missing a race in favour of Mark Gene (and famously confusing James Allen on commentary for that grand prix when Gene took the lead after Montoya pitted, Allen thought JPM had beat Schumacher out of the pits )

But I think they were all closed tests back then, as there was never any video or even pictures of anything but the wrecked cars.
Bizarre.

If they ever invent time travel that's where i'll go.

Going off the rearward facing OnBoard they just showed it looks like it was a similar failure to what Alonso suffered at Bahrain in 2013 where the DRS flap opened too far & got stuck.


Raikkonen a similar crash there during practice in 2001 although without the flips.

@

codename_47, I believe Ralf cart wheeled through the gravel at Curva Grande when he had a suspension failure. Not positive though.

He did, there was at least aftermath pics of Ralf's crash.

From this article in 2003:

Pretty much ended his single-seater career. Never seemed the same after that crash.

At least we now know how they are surviving in F1 without obvious sponsors

if you watch the famous ralph Firman crash at hungaroring where he lost his rear wing it was exactly the same behaviour from the car:

- you don't have downforce on rear axle
- rear wheels lock
- rear of the car doesn't lose speed and tries to overtake the front.
- cars spins

crash from all angles found on reddit

if i remember ralf picture he crashed at the 1st lesmo not the 2nd.

watching the sky in the direction of Monza from my house in milan



unfortunately forecast gives good weather for the weekend

I'm sure that were aftermath pictures of Ralf's testing accident. I saw them in Motorsport News at the time. I had some of Michael's, though.









Don't remember anything of Courtney's accident.

There are of Ralf's because I remember them being posted on the old forum at some point. As far as Courtney's crash goes there aren't any. At least none that were made public any way.

You know it was a big one when Schumacher lies on the ground.

Close enough, huh?

and there are no cameras around, so it's not just to add drama like Mansell loved to do

talking about test crashes that we never seen anything of, did it ever surface anything other than this picture about the famous Zonta test crash at silverstone?
