Toro Rosso Formula 1 driver Sebastien Buemi was in Japan at a Red Bull F1 Exhibition when a fan attempted to jump over his moving race car!



Red Bull's Running Showcar was in Japan this weekend for two runs to help those who were affected by the recent earthquakes.

Buemi was demonstrating the Renault-powered Red Bull car when the fan suddenly decided to run towards the tarmac. He realised that the car was coming at him and tried to jump over it.

Luckily for both parties involved, the Red Bull was traveling less than 30 km/h when the incident happened. The young man was hit and knocked to the ground though not seriously hurt.
