Given the recent controversy surrounding Sebastian Vettel’s blatant disregard for team orders, it is perhaps a pertinent time to show this video illustrating a worst case scenario of teammates trying occupy the same space on the racetrack.
Watch as Russian touring car driver Aleksei Dudukalo completely out-brakes himself during a qualifying session for a March 2013 WTCC race at Monza. In what could only be described as a perfect storm for the relatively small LADA Sport Lukoil team, Dudukalo proceeds to t-bone (and wreck) only one other car on the track – that of his teammate, James Thompson.
Dudukalo has since been dropped from the team.
