Luciano Burti: why Brazilians racing risks went unrewarded

Published: June 25, 2024, 11:01 p.m.

Just 14 races into his debut Formula 1 season in 2001, Luciano Burti suffered a huge crash at the Belgian Grand Prix.\n
\nHe walked away but it proved to be his last action as an F1 driver.\n
\nSpeaking to Tom Clarkson in his home city of Sao Paolo, Burti reflects vividly on the crash; what he was thinking about as it was happening, the physical injuries he suffered, why he wasn\u2019t able to return to racing, and how the accident led to improved safety in the sport.\n
\nThe Brazilian also discusses why he changed teams just four races into that season, the reasons he was unable to showcase his full potential, what it was like being a Ferrari test driver during Michael Schumacher\u2019s era of dominance, and much more.
