F1 star Pascal Wehrlein flips his car upside-down and sends it spinning into wall… but somehow walks away completely unscathed
PASCAL WEHRLEIN flipped his car upside-down and sent it spinning into a wall – before miraculously walking away unscathed.
The new Sauber recruit lost control as he exited the final corner of the race against returning Williams star Felipe Massa.

Then Wehrlein, who had a passenger with him in the Polaris Slingshot at the Race of Champions in Miami, bumped into the Brazilian.
He crashes through barriers separating the cars. That makes his vehicle list before it rolls through the air.
The horrifying footage appears to show both their heads almost coming into contact with more barriers.
Wehrlein’s car eventually comes to a stop after smashing into a wall, with emergency services rushing to the carnage.
