The Tuscan Grand Prix is all set to make its name for two purposes. Firstly, it marks the 1000th F1 race of Ferrari. Secondly, a series of crashes saw the race going hellbound. If one wasn’t enough for the day, the drivers were involved in two crashes within the first 8 laps.

Initially, the crash involved Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly. The Red Bull driver was trying to get off the herd, taking the outer course. Moments before he accelerated, Gasly was squeezed as three cars stormed into a tight left-hander. Max was rear-ended and crashed into the side barrier. Gasly followed suit in quick succession.

Following the crash, the Safety car was summoned. After the safety laps race resumed. However, the resumption was not at all sweet. As the drivers got involved in another crash. This time the magnitude was severe and the safety car had to be summoned for the second time.

The crash involved Carlos Sainz,  Antonio Giovinazzi, Kevin Magnussen and Nicholas Latifi. All of them were ousted out of the race. Magnussen was driving a tad bit slow. Antonio Giovinazzi in an attempt to overtake, crashed into Magnussen. Sainz and Latifi who were trailing nearby, couldn’t keep up and crashed into the pack.

“By the time I saw everything it was too late – it was a big crash. The main thing is that we are all ok“, Carlos Sainz stated.

Following the crash, the Safety car had to be summoned for the second time. The crash was horrific and could’ve been fatal for the cars out there. Luckily, everyone escaped unhurt, though Carlos Sainz was seen holding his wrist carefully.

Worst crash in F1 2020

The crash in Tuscany was certainly one of the biggest in recent times. Ousting 6 drivers from the race, the Tuscan Grand Prix diffused a bomb for the rest of the racers.

Even though time and again we see one or a few cars involving in crashes. However, those are minor incidents and only strike off one or two players, the crash in Monza involving Charles Leclerc is one of the recent examples. The crash was horrific although he escaped unhurt. The one in Tuscany therefore remains the worst crash in F1 2020.
