Max prangs the car in Rotterdam demo
Slightly reminiscent of Kamui in the Moscow demo. Max made a bit of a hash of turning the car round and pranged the car against the barrier.

I was wondering how Marussia had managed to afford to run the car on a non-race day. Wrong Max

I guess he joins the likes of Maldonado and Kobi. I wonder who else has felt the "embarrassment". At least MV's crash wasn't while driving down a straight and blowing a corner.

Heidfeld a while back, just tapped the wall and lost his front wing.

You have to remember it was only his second day in a F1 car.

to be honest i would almost be disappointed if a 16 year old kid in an F1 car didnt ding it up.
has to be a shot to his confidence though. perhaps he truly has the mentality/maturity to shrug this off. if he can that would, to me anyways, go a long way in validating that he is ready for the next step. |

It's a really strange crash, drifting along in neutral, bit like the one Maria de Villota had!
I had not seen this angle of Max's accident before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xQLXBDBP40 |

I assume they had a go pro attached to the car which we'd all like to see, but from the angle on the video it seems like a really strange crash; it was really quite slow so he must have realised he was never going to make that turn at that angle. at about the 4 sec mark on the video it's like he realised but didn't try and brake or try a flick to get the nose in the right direction.

Was it just that he wasn't used to running without his stabilisers on......?
