2011 Hungarian Grand Prix

This video shot by a fan at the Hungaroring gives a close-up view of the fire which engulfed Nick Heidfeld’s Renault during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Heidfeld came out of the pits with the left-hand side of his car already on fire, and jumped clear of the car as the flames grew.

Marshals set about the car with fire extinguishers but were showered with debris when part of the car appeared to explode.

Thanks to TommyB89 for the tip.
