Robert Sanchez involved in terrifying 70mph supercar crash at Nürburgring

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has escaped injury after crashing his £300,000 Ferrari at Germany’s famous Nürburgring racing circuit.

The Spanish shot-stopper reportedly lost control of his Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo at the Caracciola-Karussell bend, smashing into a barrier at approximately 70mph. According to the Daily Star⁠, the incident caused substantial damage to the front of the pink camouflage supercar, which was subsequently removed on a recovery truck.

A British tourist who witnessed the crash told the newspaper: “He was going way too fast on the turn, travelling up to 70 miles per hour.” The witness added: “He slammed into the corner and the track immediately got red-flagged. It’s a banked corner that goes on more than 180 degrees and he clearly had put too much gas on and drove straight into the barrier.”

Sanchez reportedly emerged from the vehicle unharmed following the incident.The 28-year-old is currently on loan at Como, managed by Cesc Fabregas, but has struggled for regular playing time, featuring in just three of their nine Serie A matches this season.
