F1 television pundit Anthony Davidson is in hospital after a huge crash during the fabled 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
Davidson’s car got airborne on the entry to Mulsanne after making contact with the Ferrari he was trying to lap. Both cars careered into the barriers; Davidson’s car the right way up, with the Ferrari on its roof.
Initially it seemed that Davidson had emerged unscathed from the crash, but was diagnosed with two broken vertebrae after he was transferred to a local hospital from the circuit’s medical centre.
The 33-year-old Briton will remain in hospital until at least Monday.
