Michael Schumacher's nephew was caught up in a dangerous crash during the Hockenheim DTM event which saw one car catch fire as its engine components were blown off.
The opening race had already been plagued by a safety car period following an earlier incident when Thomas Preining and David Schumacher jostled for position on lap 6. As both drivers braked for Turn 8, their cars careered into the barriers at high speed before rebounding back onto the track.
The incident forced Dennis Olsen to take drastic action in his SSR Porsche, but after losing control of his car, the Norwegian flew into the barrier on the other side of the track. And the ferocious impact caused very alarming scenes, with engine components ending up scattered everywhere as part of the vehicle went up in flames.
