F1 News
During the weekend, a significant crash took place in IndyCar in Toronto. Pato O'Ward crashed into the barriers during the Grand Prix in Canada, causing a six-car crash. As a result, Santino Ferrucci was sent flying through the air. The American has now responded.
12 laps prior to the finish, Sunday's IndyCar race was red flagged due to a brutal crash. O'Ward's car slid into the fence, with Marcus Ericsson soon running into it. Ferrucci's car was sent flying into the air, eventually landing in the middle of the track after also hitting O'Ward. Others were also involved in the accident. Due to the large amount of debris, and scattered cars, the race was halted and won by Colton Herta. No significant injuries were caused by the six-car crash.
