SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Fernando Alonso's Belgian Grand Prix ended in a terrifying crash similar to the incident at the same circuit which cost him the 2012 world championship.
On the short down to La Source hairpin, Nico Hulkenberg appeared to either have an issue or break too late, slamming into the back of Alonso's McLaren. That pushed Alonso into Sauber's Charles Leclerc, with the orange car spectacularly crashing over the other car. The violence of the crash ripped much of the engine cover off the side of the McLaren.
Onboard camera showed Alonso's car flying over the cockpit of Leclerc's car, now protected by the Halo device.
