Sky Sports F1 pundit forced to make quick escape as car catches fire during race
Sky Sports pundit Karun Chandhok was forced to flee from his vehicle at Goodwood Revival.
The racing driver and F1 expert was caught in the scary scenes at the West Success track on Saturday, before his brother Suhail shared the footage to social media and Karun gave a welcome update on his condition.
Chandhok was seventh in the Lavant Cup when flames burst out the back of his car, before he did a full 360 spin.
He regained control of the car before driving it off the track and onto the grass, before officials rushed over moments later to ensure his safety.

Chandhok said in response: "Lucky to get away with that with nothing more than a melted boot…
"Something went bang and seized up the back wheels and sent me spinning.
"Such a shame to end a race in my dream GT car like that but happy to get out ok!"

A third agreed: "So pleased to see Karun out safely. Great presence of mind too."
Karun recently took to social media to back his colleague Martin Brundle following the brutal snub by Cara Delevingne.
He said: "I honestly think we should have a 'chart of rudeness' in F1! Next time, take the grid passes from people who don't care and give it some deserving kids who will treasure the experience."
