Has there ever been a full or partial head-on collision with an f1 car?
- Someone 6y agoMy guess would be one car spinning 180 degrees and another one hitting it must have happened, even with the spinned car at rest and the other one at high speed, but two cars moving at speed in reverse directions? Unlikely.
- bryanmgreen 6y agoThey’ve been T-Boned in modern times and although not exactly a head on collision with another vehicle, they do crash at high 100+ MPH straight into barriers with very limited injuries.
- crottypeter 6y agoYes, in Abu Dhabi in 2010, Michael Schumacher spun 180 and Vitantonio Liuzzi then hit him head on. It was at relatively low speed (for F1) but Schumacher's head was very nearly hit as the other car rode over his.
- sjwright 6y agoColliding with a rigid stationary object is generally just as bad as a head on collision with a similar vehicle. The shortest short hand for why this is so is because each car brings its own momentum and it’s own crumple zone.
