Williams F1 driver Alex Wurz only realised how lucky he was until he saw his crash with David Coulthard on television. Coulthard tried to overtake the Austrian with a kamikaze move on the inside. Coulthard's rear tyre nearly hit Wurz' head.
Looking back at his crash with Coulthard Wurz commented: "That wasn't a lot of fun really. I saw David (Coulthard) coming in my mirrors but I didn't expect him to try such a move on me. Not for someone with as much experience in racing like him. He was only about 20 centimetres away. I saw our crash on television after the race. A car weighs about 600 kilos and with such a speed you don't want to think about what could have happened there if he would have hit my head. I've been extremely lucky there."
