FIA official crashes F1 Renault car



An official of F1's governing body FIA on Thursday had a high speed crash at the wheel of a contemporary grand prix car.

On the occasion of Renault's 'roadshow' event in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates' automobile club president Mohammed bin Sulayem - also FIA vice president for sport - shunted last year's R28 single seater.

On the main straight of the Dubai Autodrome, the car swung to the right under power and struck the concrete barrier, necessitating a visit for the 14-time Middle East rally champion to the medical centre.

Earlier, bin Sulayem had successfully driven the car on a closed road.

"Fortunately he was uninjured and the car will be taken back to be repaired," said a Renault spokesman.

In Dubai for the roadshow event is Fernando Alonso's teammate Nelson Piquet.

It sounded like the guy couldn't get the power down from the start, but kept the throttle in, and spun out.

Renault said that it was the traction on the car that caused it. The wheels were spinning through the gear changes and finally when the tires bit, they bit too hard. The immediate traction caused the car to spin and there literally was no time to for correction.

True Renault cars are crap, any other F1 car would have done fine.

Sand, Cold Tyres, Cold Brakes, and remember..The F1's aero don't really work at that speed.

Based on the sound, he just floored it, hit the limiter, lost traction and just lost it.
