Horror moment Max Verstappen's dad flips rally car in terrifying crash revealed in unseen footage
THIS is the horror moment Max Verstappen's dad Jos crashed and flipped his rally car at high speed. Disaster struck for the former F1 driver, 53, as he was competing in the Royal Rally of Scandinavia in Sweden. 4 Max Verstappen's father Jos suffered a nasty crash on Friday but emerged unscathed Credit: 4 Jos' rally car rolled after his rear wheels dipped in the gravel Credit: 4 He cracked the windscreen of his car and caused other damage, being forced to retire Credit: The rollover crash brought Jos and his navigator Renaud Jamoul's day to a halt earlier than expected last Friday. The pair started well - they were 18th overall and best out of the Master classification - but came unstuck on stage nine. It caused the Skoda Fabia RS Rally 2 to do a 360, suffering damage in the process, with newly released video painting a grim picture. READ MORE SPORT NEWS The latest clip showed the car with a huge crack in the windscreen, but fortunately, both Jos and Renaud escaped uninjured. Verstappen said: "I went a little bit too quick into the corner and then I missed the apex, the inside of the corner. "I was in the loose gravel, on full grass and I couldn't make the corner. Very easy to happen in this kind of rally. "It was a typical Sweden roll. I flipped it and I was back on the four wheels. Every crash should be a lesson. Most read in Motorsport CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS "The roll cage is all fine but the front was a little bit damaged, there was some rear damage and one damper was broken. "I must say I really enjoyed it, the way of driving . Obviously these people from these countries they used to that, the only driving they do is on these kind of stages." Lewis Hamilton hit with grid penalty at Monaco Grand Prix after blunder saw him forced to apologise to Verstappen It was Verstappen Snr's third-ever start on an unfamiliar gravel surface. He didn't manage to travel to Barcelona to watch his son Max compete in the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday. The Red Bull ace championship leader Oscar Piastri. The 27-year-old also picked up three-penalty points after "deliberately" colliding with George Russell on Lap 61, when asked to let the Mercedes driver through after using an escape road.

‘It's not nice to see' – Lewis Hamilton warned he's suffering from same issue as Michael Schumacher after Ferrari switch
LEWIS HAMILTON is "lost" and suffering the same problem that fellow Formula One icon Michael Schumacher did. Hamilton, 40, has struggled to extract top performance from his Ferrari machinery since joining the team over the winter. 4 Lewis Hamilton has been warned he is suffering the same issue as Michael Schumacher is Credit: Getty 4 Michael Schumacher won seven world titles like Hamilton, but had a break and never won a race again Credit: Getty The Brit has achieved one Sprint Race win in China but has otherwise failed to achieve a podium for the Scuderia. Former F1 star and Sky Sports F1 pundit Johnny Herbert believes Hamilton is suffering the same issues as That being the "raw pace just isn't there anymore", a thought which Herbert says is "not nice to see". Schumacher - READ MORE IN FOOTBALL Speaking to "I don't know if the raw pace that he's always had throughout his career is there anymore. "I thought, with the pure racing skill Hamilton had, he'd be able to drive around any problems with the car but he seems stuck in a hole. It's not nice to see. "It's not the first time we've seen it in the sport, though. Nigel Mansell won his championship in 1992, went to America in 1993, came back in 1994 and it didn't work anymore for him. Most read in Motorsport BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK "It happened with Michael Schumacher too, when he had his break and came back, then he wasn't the same Schumacher as before. "You're always going to have your peak and an end of your peak. It's not nice to see." F1 stars' pets including driver with thirteen cats, Leclerc's yacht-loving pooch and Hamilton's dog Roscoe with own car Hamilton's team-mate Herbert added: "I know Charles Leclerc is not happy with the car either, but at least he's getting podium finishes consistently. "There have been a couple of poor decisions in Ferrari's strategy and poor communication over the radio, Hamilton doesn't have the synergy with his engineer that he needs. "He hasn't found his comfort zone since the sprint win in China. "Sometimes you don't realise when it's not as easy as it was before, but when you look across the garage and your team-mate is outperforming you, then it may click. "The greats of the sport, at their peak, get the best out of their car. "He won't understand why he can't, because he'll feel like he should be able to. But, Leclerc is outperforming you in the same car. Leclerc is only going to grow and is in control of Ferrari's future. "He's the guy they can rely on, Ferrari can't rely on Lewis Hamilton at this point. It's horrible to say but it's the truth." Former Mercedes and McLaren star Hamilton appeared close to tears following the Spanish Grand Prix where he finished P6, even after a penalty for old rival Max Verstappen bumped him up the order. 4 Johnny Herbert suggested Ferrari 'can't rely on' Hamilton Credit: Getty 'It was a difficult day, I've got nothing else to add to it. There's no point explaining it." Hamilton will now have next weekend off to help him collect his thoughts before getting back behind the wheel for the Canadian Grand Prix on June 15. McLaren pair Oscar Piastri and He has opened up a huge 49-point gap to reigning four-time world champion Verstappen after the Despite That The system works on a 12-month rolling timer, but the next time the 27-year-old will see any points taken off his record will be June 30. Races are due to commence in Montreal and Spielberg before that date, meaning he will have to be on his best behaviour to avoid a ban. Picking up another point in Hamilton himself sits P6 in the standings, while his team have squeezed their way into P2. 4
