Mark Webber 2010 European Grand Prix crash

Mark Webber Hekki Kovalainen crash at Europe 2010 Valencia street circuit

[Josh]

Nearly died in at least 3 different ways in the space of a few seconds.

I’ll never forget this it was the moment I was introduced to f1. My dad told me to come look and then this happened I watched it go down on our big box tv it’s a great memory

When you quit Le Mans just to fly yet again in F1

[simoplay]

Mark Webber the greatest aviator of all time

[michaelhall]

That was absolutely horrifying. I can't believe he only walked away with minor injuries. When I see an F1 or IndyCar crash I'm always horrified and assume the worst because of all the horrifying fatal ones I've seen like Ayrton Senna, Tom Pryce, and Gordon Smiley.

Doctor: “Don’t worry Mark, flying racing cars are not real, you will not have near death racing crashes due to taking off...”

Mercedes and Redbull irl:

[anguruso]

Engineer: Need to get past Kovalainen as soon as you can
Webber: Understood

[seinfeld]

the flip was crazy full on. but the energy he still had when he hit the tyres, that must of hurt!

[jamesvaden]

Thankfully he wasn’t seriously hurt. That was a pretty bad accident. Which is why it’s a good thing the halos exist

[agosden]

This is where DAS was first introduced

[iamanidiotbut]

Webber thought he was driving in Australia lol

[davesmulders]

"That is some dangereous flying man."

[Eat-MyGoal]

Followed team orders to the letter: he got past as soon as he could....

[Lukester]

This is why there are rules about swerving down the straight, and multiple moves before a breaking zone.

[Vme-xchr]

“Mark, you’re always shit around Valencia; will this year be any different?”

That was genuinely what Marko said to him before the race

[Rqtt-XIV]

Curious fact: Mark Webber has already flown twice in Le Mans 1999 with the Legendary Mercedes-Benz CLR or "Flying German".

[sasabone]

"Oh sh*t, here we go again" Mark talking to himself

[george._mav]

That crash put him out of his misery. He was having a shocker that day. One of the races that cost him the wc

[stonexl]

11 years later and Alex Lynn reenacted this in Formula E. Unfortunately he didn't flip back over.

[davidca]

You have zero time to react when you get into the slipstream if the guy brakes. I never noticed until now he clipped that sign at the height of his flip, crazy to wreck like that at such high speed and be fine.
