A second Vantage present at the circuit will be used throughout the Formula 1 weekend
Online speculation points towards a braking issue, but Aston Martin is still investigating the crash. Bernd Maylander appears to have intentionally spun the car to scrub off speed. Fortunately, the German driver and his passenger were uninjured. One of the Aston Martin Vantage Safety Cars used in Formula 1 was crashed by experienced racer Bernd Maylander in preparation for this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix.
As the nose of the car remained steady in the approach to the corner rather than diving down, it does appear as though Maylander was unable to slow for the corner. He may have then decided to initiate the slide in a bid to wipe off some speed, knowing full well that he was going to smash into the barriers regardless. Fortunately, both Maylander and his passenger climbed out of the car without injuries. https://www.youtube.
