After last weeks spectacular crash, Dario Franchitti somersaults his car again in another dramatic accident. And, he walks away uninjured again!

This time it occurred after the chequered flag, which does seem to be a little foolish from a pro racing driver. Although he has admitted that the incident was his fault. Apparently he didn’t realise that it was the chequered flag lap until it was too late. He said after the race, “I didn’t realise it was the chequered. I got the ‘Hey, it’s a chequered’ just as I was hitting him.”

He’s a lucky, lucky bloke. Certainly pushing his luck at the moment.
