12 Motorsport Fails From 2016 That’ll Have You Shaking Your Head

There have been some incredible moments in motorsport so far this year, but there have also been some remarkable fails

This Nascar Truck race not only finished with the leaders crashing across the line, but it also featured a hilariously weak brawl afterwards.

Andrea Iannone and Andrea Dovizioso did the unthinkable for Ducati at the Argentine Grand Prix, crashing into each other on the last lap, at the final corner!

The Trans Am First Energy 100 featured this dramatic incident, when a driver bizarrely decided to re-enter the track at a ridiculous point and smashed into an on-coming car.

12 Motorsport Fails From 2016 That’ll Have You Shaking Your Head

So this isn’t an on-track incident, but it had to be included. Surely this is one of the oddest statements the FIA has ever had to release at an F1 race?

This one was almost unseen by TV viewers but was later revealed, with Sebastian Vettel thinking the German GP ended one lap earlier than it did – fortunately he didn’t lose any positions!

The Rally Finland used tractors – as part of a sponsorship deal – to make a chicane for the WRC cars – strange, bizarre and dangerous to boot! Fair to say it caused quite a stir…

The entire first lap of the Russian GP was a complete disaster for Daniil Kvyat and probably set up his demotion from Red Bull to Toro Rosso for the next race.

We hate seeing older race cars crashing into each other and that’s what happened in this BOSS GP race at Monza, with the incident involving a 1997 Benetton F1 car and 2007 Champ Car.

After a clumsy Formula 4 crash at the Hockenheimring, these two drivers looked like they were going to clash out of the cars too – one was running away from the other, but it didn’t lead to anything.

The Latvian round of the World Rallycross Championship saw this awkward team-mate collision between Sebastien Loeb and Timmy Hansen. One of the worst situations for a team to be in!

This hillclimb attempt barely lasted three seconds and it all ended in spectacular style.

Nico Rosberg may have won the 2016 European GP, but the pre-podium room didn’t go quite so well, after he hit himself in the face with his radio connector.

Don’t know about recent seasons, but those from 80’s and 90’s are just golden! Radisic, Harvey, Soper, Cleland and rest, very competitive and intense. I watched many racing disciplines but nothing comes close to old btcc sadly.

Missed the biggest fails of all.

  1. Toyota’s engine blows up on the last lap of the 24 Hours Le Mans
  2. Mercedes wipe each other out on the first lap in Spain
  3. Ferrari’s entire strategy department
