Slow motion video shows Maldonado’s first-lap crash
2015 Australian Grand Prix

A fan with a great viewing spot for the first race of the season captured this extraordinary video of Pastor Maldonado crashing out of the Australian Grand Prix.
Maldonado made contact with Felipe Nasr at turn two at the Albert Park circuit, sending his Lotus into the barriers not far from where the fan was standing.
With Romain Grosjean suffering a race-ending power loss on the first lap of the race, it was a short first grand prix of 2015 for Lotus.
