Watch A Formula E Car Pop A Wheelie On Impact
Watch A Formula E Car Pop A Wheelie On Impact-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:24

Today’s Formula E Mexico City ePrix lost all semblance of chill towards the end of the race. One of several attempts to fight for position didn’t end well for the two Mahindra cars, littering the turn in Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez’s old baseball stadium with debris with two laps to go.

Nico Prost’s blue Renault e.dams made contact with the bright orange and white Mahindra of Nick Heidfeld, spinning him around. Heidfeld’s Mahindra teammate Felix Rosenqvist then t-boned Heidfeld, popping his front wheels off the ground in the process. Mitch Evans’ Jaguar was also damaged in the pile-up.

Is there anything worse than t-boning your own teammate, though? Not really. That’s got to be awkward.

There was a big enough hole for a car to fit through the debris, no one even cleaned up the mess. They ended with the turn still littered with bits of car.

Audi’s Lucas Di Grassi ultimately won the race, after an early pit stop under yellow to repair a broken wing allowed him to jump ahead of all of the drivers who opted to pit later.

It Took A Legendary Woman To Demolish Bernie Ecclestone's Dumb Sexist Comment
It’s almost a non-story when Formula One head troll makes an embarrassing, sexist comment lately. Unfortunately, racing legend Mario Andretti made some facepalm-worthy statements in agreement this time, too. Then three-time NHRA drag racing champion Shirley Muldowney put it all in perspective. You see, Ecclestone has become a bit like...

The Grand Prix Of Long Beach Was The World's Harshest Massage Chair
This weekend, IndyCar heads to the butter smooth surface at Barber Motorsports Park. Last weekend’s street course at Long Beach, however, was a rough-and-tumble riot of a thing, and the series stuck a camera on Graham Rahal’s helmet that proves it. Come along for a wild ride. Welcome to ,...

Praise Be To Catch Fence For Doing Its Job In This Crazy Stadium Super Truck Roll
We love because they do everything bigger and crazier—even with wipe-outs and camera angles of said wipe-outs. Enjoy this harrowing ride-along aboard a truck that gets thrown into a catch fence. Driver Pat O’Keefe doesn’t land quite right after the first jump, and his truck hasn’t quite settled in before...
