Former F1 star Jean Alesi crashed his Ferrari at the tunnel exit during Monaco Historic GP practice, prompting mechanics to work through the night for repairs.
Former Formula 1 driver Jean Alesi experienced a dramatic moment during Friday practice at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix when his Ferrari left the track at the tunnel exit before the chicane. The incident brought back memories of his racing days, though perhaps not the ones he was hoping for.
The crash presented Alesi's team with a significant challenge, as they faced a race against time to get the car ready for Saturday's session. One of the mechanics involved in the repair effort described the intense overnight work required to make the Ferrari operational again.
The Monaco Historic Grand Prix attracts legendary drivers and classic racing cars to the principality's famous street circuit. Alesi's participation in the event continues his long association with Monaco, where he achieved notable success during his F1 career, including a memorable second place finish at the 1994 Monaco Grand Prix.
