Alex Prémat got a big scare

Alexandre Prémat (Audi), best time in the warm-up in the morning, experienced much less success in the afternoon at Adria. Twelfth after a few seconds of racing, the Frenchman had contact with one of his opponents, Maro Engel. Prémat?s Audi A4, which had gone out of control, then hit the safety rail violently, before rolling over (video).

Stunned, the Frenchman got out of a dislocated car but without any apparent physical problem. “ The most important thing is that Alexandre emerged from his accident unscathed, assures in a serious tone Norbert Haug, vice-president of Mercedes Motorsport. This allows us to remember that we must not stand still in our approach to pilot safety but that we must continually continue our efforts. »
