Driver Escapes Fiery Crash at F1 Race

American Formula One driver Logan Sargeant narrowly escaped injury after a dramatic crash during the final practice session for the Dutch Grand Prix. His race engineer, Gaetan Jago, urgently alerted him over the radio, stating, "The car is on fire," prompting immediate concern for Sargeant's safety. Following the incident, he was taken to the medical center for precautionary checks, raising doubts about his participation in the upcoming qualifying session scheduled for 3 PM local time. George Russell, a fellow driver, was among the first to reach the scene of the accident. He quickly recognized the severity of the situation and urged Sargeant to exit the vehicle as smoke poured from the rear. "He is on fire," Russell communicated over the radio, emphasizing the urgency of the moment. Sargeant managed to escape from his wrecked car but was seen slumping over the barriers, visibly shaken by the incident. The crash led to a red flag, halting the session while repairs were made to the damaged barriers. This incident marks a troubling trend for Sargeant, who has faced multiple crashes this season, including incidents at the Canadian Grand Prix and the Miami Grand Prix earlier this year. As the team prepares for qualifying later today, the focus remains on Sargeant's health and readiness to compete in the Dutch Grand Prix scheduled for Sunday.
