FIA Formula 3 driver Brad Benevides has confirmed he suffered broken vertebra after a first lap crash in Monaco.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
During the Sprint race on Saturday morning in the Principality, Benevides was caught in a first-lap accident where he clipped another car before being pitched into the air, before forcefully landing on all four wheels.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
He was then nudged into a barrier by the following Christian Ho of Rodin Motorsport, and was transported to hospital for checks.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Taking to social media and posting a photo of himself in bed, the AIX Racing driver wrote on Instagram Stories that he had “3 broken vertebrae in such a small accident, fate deemed it so.”\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The race was won by Gerrard Xie of DAMS, after original winner Hiyu Yamakoshi of Van Amersfoort Racing was disqualified hours after the flag for a technical infringement.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FIA Formula 3 driver Brad Benevides has confirmed he suffered broken vertebra after a first lap crash in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[3518,3521,3519,3522,3520,3517,3515,3513,3516,3514,111,139,69,3512,213],"class_list":["post-465615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
