Five years ago, he crashed Niki Lauda's Ferrari 312B3 while leading the race, colliding with Marco Werner. Alesi, who drove 201 Grands Prix and won the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix for Ferrari, competed for the team from 1991 to 1995. The Ferrari 312 from 1969 was previously driven by Chris Amon and Pedro Rodríguez.
Ferrari scored only seven points that season, with Amon leaving after five broken races in six events. The cause of this crash is unknown, and it is unclear if the car can be repaired.
