must have been super scary since the doors open upwards and the car on its roof would not allow opening the doors. Unless there is a safety mechanism to open it.

Such a beaut this F1. Shame it's gone

Atleast they driver and passenger are safe.

I have no grounds or proof but having the driver in the middle seems like it would be really safe in a collision (not so much for the passengers).

Did Rowan Atkinson move to Italy?

I love his car collection, would have never thought he had cars of that caliber.

The joke is that he does own an F1 and has crashed it in the past.

Rowan Atkinson's car cost $1.4 million to repair.

I heard that the passengers are ok and they are out of the hospital.

I was thinking it was a Mr. Bean event again too.

BTW with a wing that big, how can you even crash, so much down force.

Atkinson has actually crashed his F1 twice. I think the F1 really is a car that can kill you with ease (like the CGT).

it's actually one go the safest cars ever built. No drivers aids so you have to be a decent driver. But if you do crash it's exteamly safe.

Sad to see it rolled over - what an amazing ride it was.

It will be able to be fixed back to normal.

It is definitely 'fixable' however that all depends on how much the owner is willing to pay. As it rolled over, it most likely needs a new monocoque, as well as front and read subframes. In addition to that the fact that this was bespoke (part of McLaren Bespoke Project 8) and that it had a High Downforce kit (which is around $250,000-$500,000 not too sure) it is definitely able to be fixed, however at a cost. Rowan Atkinson payed I believe £910,000 to repair his McLaren F1 (2011 Accident). If I'm not mistaken, the monocoque did not need to be replaced, only the rear subframe and the body panels. Rowan Atkinson did not have the High Downforce Kit on his car so the price to replace the bodywork would have considerably less. I do not know for certain but I have heard the figure estimated to be £1,300,000-£1,500,000 to completely fix this car.

Did anyone catch the Yellow P1 in the video?!

Sucks about the car but it will be rebuilt! We have faith!
