F1’s Safety Car crashed during a test꧅ on Thursday at the Italian Grand Prix.

The incident occu🧸rred at the high📖-speed Parabolica corner at the end of the circuit.

As part of the usual pre-race preparation, Safety Car driver Bernd Maylander was completing his usual c꧃hecks ahead of the weekend.

However,♛ during one of his push laps, Maylander lost control of the Aston Martin Safety Car being used at this weekend’s Italian GP.

It was described as a high-speed incident, but f♒ortunately, both Maylander and the passenger were unhurt, climbing out of the car without any assistance.

Maylander and the passenger were picked u꧒p by F1’s medical car before returning to the pit lane.

The FIA released the following statement: "There was an on-track incident with the FIA Safety Car🐟 today at Monza. Aston Martin is inv𝓀estigating the cause but can confirm both driver and passenger are fine. There is an additional Safety Car at the circuit and it will not impact the weekend's event."

It’s unusual for incidents involving𝐆 the Safety Car to take place, particularly given Maylander’s wealth of experience behind the wheel.

Most not🍎ably, the medical car cౠrashed in practice at the 2000 Monaco Grand Prix.

A similar 🔴incident occurred two years later in Brazil.

Enrique Bernold🥂i had crashed his Arrows car during practice at Interlagos, resulting in a red ꦉflag.

The medical car parked up was 🦹hit by the Sauber of Nick Heidfeld.

Fortunat♊ely, there was a narrow gap for Heidfeld to go through, avoiding any major injuries for anyone involved.
