‘Macau circuit not to blame for crash’

The

Macau Grand Prix’s street circuit is not to blame for a teen driver’s horrific crash on Sunday, her team boss has said after the accident raised concerns about safety standards.

Seventeen-year-old Sophia Florsch’s F3 car catapulted spectacularly over safety barriers during Sunday’s race, fracturing the Van Amersfoort Racing driver’s spine and injuring four others. But despite the horrifying crash, her team principle refused to blame the historic Macau circuit, which has been raced by some of the giants of the sport including Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher.
