I'm not sure if I should post the video, but having watched it, it's extremely similar to the crash that killed Anthoine Hubert. Looks further along the track - at the start of the Kemmel straight - but very similar.

Accident descriptionIt's not clear how (very bad weather conditions, lots of spray/fog), but his car spins into the middle of the track, stops fully sideways/perpendicular to the track, then is T-boned by another car.

Absolutely tragic.

Yet people will still moan about red flags when the rain is so heavy you can’t see car ahead…
