F1: Top 5 crashes at the German Grand Prix.

#4 Michael Schumacher and Luciano Burti, 2001 (Hockenheimring)

Luciano Burti

Sticking with familiar names, here's one that F1 fans will perhaps never forget. Multi-time champion Michael Schumacher may have dominated the late 90s and 2000s with his incredible driving skill in a powerful Ferrari but this is one memory of the German that isn't quite in tune with his numerous accolades.

At his home race in Hockenheim, Schumi was slow to begin the race, and with a sea of cars behind him, that wasn't a very smart thing to do. While most cars narrowly escaped contact, Brazilian driver Luciano Burti did not, and smashed into the back of the Ferrari at speed. The result of the contact was quite bizarre, with Burti's car launched into the air and coming down after a back flip and some truly insane acrobatics. Thankfully, Burti was okay, but for a brief moment everyone had their hearts in their mouths. Check it out below.
