Rome, Nov. 11 (LaPresse) – Como goalkeeper Robert Sanchez escaped uninjured from a serious crash at the Nürburgring while driving a Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo. This was reported by the British tabloid ‘The Sun’. According to the British newspaper, the goalkeeper crashed into the barriers at around 110 km/h while navigating the famous Caracciola-Karussell corner. The impact destroyed the front of the car and forced organisers to suspend the session for approximately an hour. Sánchez was taking part in a driving event organised by Circuit Days alongside six friends. The Nürburgring, nicknamed the Green Hell, is one of the most challenging circuits in the world and was the scene of Niki Lauda’s dramatic crash in 1976. This is not the goalkeeper’s first driving-related incident. Last April, he was fined £1,520 for speeding in Surrey.
