Carlos Sainz Sr was taken to hospital for medical checks after a huge crash while racing in Italy.
The 60-year-old has been rallying for more than 40 years, and is currently part of the Extreme E championship. He was racing in the all-electric series on Thursday when his car barrel rolled after being hit by a rival.
Sainz had managed to squeeze into the lead in the early stages of the Island X-Prix in Sardinia. But the race was red flagged when Johan Kristoffersson, racing for Nico Rosberg 's RXR, collided with the Spaniard, sending him into the roll.
