Luca Badoer crashed heavily during testing at the Jerez circuit for Ferrari yesterday but escaped with only minor injuries. The F2005 which Badoer was driving however was completely destroyed after its high speed suspension failure.

The Italian team had suffered an identical equipment failure on Luca Badoer's car on the day prior to his major crash at the same corner. Badoer was not travelling at a very high speed on that day and simply tapped the barriers, yesterday he was not so lucky. The Italian test driver ran off the circuit at 220km/h and collided with the barriers with extreme force. The team had this to say about Luca's incident:

"Luca is okay and that is the most important thing. Now we have to examine why the same accident as yesterday happened today. The car is completely destroyed."

Ferrari will work to solve this issue with their suspension and meanwhile Badoer was sent home to rest.
