WATCH: Kevin Magnussen In Huge Crash At Spa Grand Prix
As always the Spa Grand Prix was one of the highlights of the season with plenty of incident and Lewis Hamilton starting from the back of the grid and finishing on the podium in third. The biggest moment of incident came in the sixth lap of the race when Kevin Magnussen had a huge crash.
The Renault driver spun his car at the infamous Eau Rouge and went careering into the tyre wall. Magnussen hit the wall so hard that he displaced it and it required the race to be red flagged and delayed 10 minutes as they put it back together.
More worryingly, as you can see from the footage, is the sight of the driver's headrest going flying during the crash.
Thank God he walked away after a crash like this... #BelgianGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/BiUNmD13ZE

Somehow the Dane managed to walk away from the crash, unsurprisingly limping as he went. He was taken to nearby hospital but the damage to him doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as it is for the car thank god:
