F1: Top 5 crashes at the German Grand Prix.

#3 Felipe Massa, 2014 (Hockenheimring)

Felipe Massa

Another recent accident to take place at the Hockenheimring involved Felipe Massa taking a shocking tumble at the start of the 2014 German Grand Prix. The race itself began smoothly but soon turned very sour for the Brazilian Massa, whose lengthy career has seen some ups and downs. This, however, was a very literal interpretation of those ups and downs.

In the fan video below, Massa can be seen trying to avoid his teammate Valteri Bottas before colliding with Kevin Magnussen instead, resulting in dire consequences. His right-rear wheel hits Magnussen's front-left and Massa's Williams is amazingly turned upside down.

After a nervous slide off the track, Massa's car thankfully comes around and avoids Daniel Ricciardo's Red Bull by the narrowest of margins. A race steward can be seen giving the thumbs up soon after, which surely calmed some restless souls at the time.
