Anthony Davidson had a huge crash at Le Mans when he was hit by a lapped car. When you watch the video you’ll probably wonder how either driver survived the crash, but both drivers did.

Davidson described how the accident happened on his website.

“I was almost completely past the car after the apex of the kink. I passed a Corvette and a Ferrari with the pro driver sticker on. They were fighting each other and I just assumed the Ferrari ahead was part of their group and therefore another pro. The car was all the way to the left as you would expect a pro driver to do. It was only when I got right up to the back that I realized it was one of the amateur-stickered cars. But I still wasn’t alarmed, I still felt it was a completely legitimate move and thought he would stay to the left, which it looked like he was doing. I made the apex of the corner, started to brake and I was almost out of the corner when I felt contact on the left rear.”

He also tweeted about his injury:

“Back from hospital & watching @SkySportsF1 FP2! Weird not being there but good news is X-ray results look ok. 10-15% compression of T11/12.”

We wish a hearty get well to Anthony!
