In the second race of the Formula 2 series held Sunday in Marrakech, Ricardo Teixeira suffered a huge accident, the Angolan becoming airborne and rolling through the air after making contact with the rear of Ivan Samarin's car.
As the pack approached the chicane for the first time, Teixeira's car became airborne following the impact and flipped over. Fortunately for the Angolan driver his car landed on all four wheels and he was able to walk away from a frightening accident.
Speaking after the accident, a thankfully unhurt Teixeira said: "It was just an unbelievably strange feeling - it's hard to describe, but it just felt wrong you know? It was like it was in slow motion, and I was aware of everything - I had my eyes open and I was like 'sky, floor, sky, oh cars!' I just thought 'this is going to hurt', but I was never scared - it was too quick I think, so it was just a weird sort of feeling.”
