rollover ff1 template   MICHAEL SCHUMACHER-IMOLA 2000    
rollover ff1 template   This rather peculiar event took place during practice for the 2000 San Marino Grand Prix.

Michael Schumacher pulled into his pit box and appeared to overshoot, possibly because of a cold track surface, or because of excessive speed.

He overshot his pit box and sent his front jack man flying, fortunately without injury to the mechanic, or damage to the car.

The events of Imola 2000 practice are shown below:
