“What a waste”: Fans lacerate former F1 driver for ruining Prema car in Le Mans accident

Former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat suffered a major shunt during the night hours of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It caused the number 63 Prema car to crash, leaving it undrivable for his team and forcing an early exit from the 24-hour race.

The car spun and hit the barricade, breaking the right rear wheel and perhaps the suspension, and dragged onto the track as the heavy impact of the crash.

Fans were unimpressed as this slowed the race down after almost an hour-long caution.

After the car was forced to retire, fans took to Twitter to express themselves. Here are some reactions.

"Daniil Kvyat has been the biggest weak link in that Prema 63 LMP2 car. What a waste."

Ferrari drives 24 Hours of Le Mans to victory, unlike F1 performance

One of the cars driven by a former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat retired from the endurance race. However, Antonio Giovinazzi, another former F1 driver, was one of the three to celebrate victory at Le Mans driving the Ferrari 488 to victory.

This win came after five decades that the Italian outfit participated in the event with its hypercar. After showing strong performance during the practice and qualifying sessions, it crossed the line first.

Ferrari won the 24 Hours of Le Mans after 58 long years. This is quite different from how the F1 team has performed so far in the 2023 season. After a rather improving 2022 campaign, the team seem to have lost its pace and competitiveness this season.

Although Ferrari has been trying to improve race after race, the best it has done is a P3 finish by Charles Leclerc in Azerbaijan.
