During a high-speed test before the Italian Grand Prix, the Formula 1 safety car, driven by Bernd Maylander, crashed at Parabolica on the Monza track. Despite spinning off and hitting the barriers, Maylander and his passenger emerged from the incident unharmed. The FIA confirmed the accident and stated that Aston Martin would investigate the cause. Fortunately, the incident did not impact the Grand Prix weekend as there was a backup safety car on-site. Aston Martin’s involvement as a safety car supplier started in 2021, alongside Mercedes, ensuring redundancy for such situations at every race.
