He walked into his barn after he finished about 87 rounds and his car slid as he walked into the box. Four members of his crew tried to avoid a sliding car but failed. One crew member was taken out on a stretcher.
“I honestly felt really strange brakes when I came slowly in Pit Lane. I locked both front tires, which is usually not the case,” said Shwartzman. “I wasn’t sure if they were brakes or because the tires were cold. I tried to be very slow. But as soon as I touched the brakes, the whole front lost to me, and I went right into the guys.
“It was really scary because only a traveler was braking at the moment.”
