5 worst pit lane accidents in F1

2007 Brazilian Grand Prix (Kazuki Nakajima)

Kazuki Nakajima

22-year-old debutant, Kazuki Nakajima, replaced retired Williams’s driver Alexander Wurz.

After an initial collision, from which the driver recovered, he pulled into the pits. He completely misjudged his stop, and in the process he took a couple of the crew with him. The injured mechanics, who pulled themselves up to dutifully finish what they started, were taken to the medical center shortly.

This incident is by no means isolated, and is a reminder of the USA GP in 2000, when Gastón Mazzacane ran over his pit crew, and in contrast to Nakajima, made absolutely no attempt to slow down.
