Former Formula One champion Nelson Piquet's son Pedro survived a horrific crash at the Brazilian Porsche GT3 Cup in Goiania, this weekend. The 17-year-old Pedro's car flipped over nine times after being struck by another car while manoeuvring a turn at the Autodromo Internacional Ayrton Senna. The young driver was given immediate medical attention on site, before being taken to a nearby hospital.
Remarkably, Pedro escaped without any major injury despite such an astonishing crash. In July this year, F1 driver Jules Bianchi died from injuries sustained in a crash at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix. Bianchi, 25, had been in a coma since the accident in October.
