Luciano Burti survived a sickening crash at Blanchimont, On This Day in 2001. Contact with Jaguar's Eddie Irvine on lap five of the Belgian Grand Prix sent him spearing into an unprotected tyre barrier; the 111g impact broke the front of Burti's crash helmet, which had been weakened by a hole drilled for a drinks tube - a practice subsequently banned.⁣ ⁣ #LucianoBurti #Prost #OnThisDay #OTD #F1 #BelgianGP #SpaFrancorchamps #FormulaOne #GrandPrix #gp #F1history #f1drivers #F1WorldChampionship #motorsport #openwheel #openwheelracing #autoracing #racing #2000s #00sF1 #ColourPhotography #F1Photography #F1Photos #MotorsportImages #LATImages
