F1 Driver Adrian Sutil Crashes Gumpert Apollo on the 'Ring
From Motor Authority:
Believe it or not, Formula 1 drivers really are human. Well, most of them are, anyway, and that includes Adrian Sutil, who wrecked a Gumpert Apollo on the perilous Nordschleife today.
The damage, as you can see in the image above, isn't terminal--it looks like some bodywork will put the car back in full working order. That's a good thing, too. Unlike the top tier of F1 drivers, Sutil probably doesn't have tens of millions of dollars sitting in Swiss bank accounts, waiting to be burned on his latest fancy.

I thought I heard it was like in the FIRST turn...
It doesn't look that bad but then again... carbon bodywork doesn't show damage like most cars. That 'segg that ate a tire at 150mph on the Top Gear test track looked almost unharmed. Could've been a fairly big hit.
