Abstract:
In many people's minds, F1 drivers have top-notch car control skills and can accurately control the line and cope with extreme conditions on high-speed tracks. However, no one expected that Mercedes-Benz youngster Antonelli would stage a ridiculous scene in the parking lot during the reversing session.
On-site video recorded the entire process. Two black Mercedes-Benz AMG sports cars were parked side by side in front of a wooden fence.
Antonelli got into the car and stepped on the accelerator, but an accident came next. He mistakenly shifted the gear into reverse. Instead of driving forward, the car rushed backwards, and the rear of the car hit the rear wooden fence heavily.
After the impact, he operated again, and billowing white smoke billowed out from the wheel arch, covering the screen. There were other SUVs parked nearby. This scene was completely captured by the camera and quickly spread on the Internet.
As soon as this video came out, many car fans joked: "Section 2 is quite difficult."
In addition, this is not the first time Antonelli has been involved in an accident while driving a civilian vehicle. Earlier this year, he crashed a limited-edition AMG model given to him by Mercedes-Benz.
There are reports on the Internet that the cause of the accident was speeding, and that his civilian driver's license was revoked. However, the contents of speeding and driver's license revocation are only Internet rumors and have not yet been officially confirmed.
And Antonelli’s poor driving skills in civilian cars have long been a well-known anecdote in the F1 driver circle.
In a group interview session with drivers this year, a reporter asked Russell who he was least willing to lend his car to on weekdays. Russell didn’t hesitate at all and pointed directly at Antonelli beside him. Other drivers at the scene also booed when they saw this.
Faced with the "roll call" from his teammates, Antonelli did not defend himself, but repeatedly said that he had changed.
