Lewis Hamilton was forced to take evasive action to avoid a horrific crash during second practice at the Australian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Hamilton was barrelling down the start-finish straight when he came across Franco Colapinto, who was driving slowly on the racing line.<\/p>\n
The Alpine driver was struck by a gear issue as he rounded the final corner, but instead of pulling to the right and off the racing line, he stayed put while dawdling at a low speed.<\/p>\n
Hamilton had a very limited window to move out of the way, but did so in time to avoid a major collision.<\/p>\n
\u201cAh, there was a car going crazy slow on the pit straight,\u201d Hamilton declared over team radio.<\/p>\n
The stewards were far from impressed with Colapinto’s driving and placed the Argentine under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton was forced to take evasive action to avoid a horrific crash during second practice at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[827,830,828,831,829,826,813,43,823,825,824,44,822,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-522186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-headlines","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-news","tag-racing","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
