Nico Rosberg, 2010 Hungarian Grand Prix
Trending
The Mercedes driver is currently leading the championship, but back in 2010, partnered by Michael Schumacher, Rosberg did not have as much luck. The 2010 Hungarian GP went down in infamy for the pit lane disasters that ensued during the race.
A crash for Force India driver Vitantonio Liuzzi saw an early safety car sent out. That prompted a number of drivers to pit all at once. Rosberg was among them, and pitted for an early tyre change.
Unfortunately for the driver, the pit crew did not attach his right rear tyre correctly; it would go spinning off his car and bounced into the Williams pit lane. It hit a mechanic, who was taken to hospital with injuries.
In the immediate aftermath, Renault, who had just changed Robert Kubica’s tyres, released him straight into the path of Liuzzi’s Force India teammate Adrian Sutil, whose race was ended right there.
