Hope His Air-Brakes Work

This is impossible, right?
Apparently not.
 
What you are looking at is a picture of an articulated lorry jumping over a Lotus F1 car - including driver!
 
FoxNews had the story yesterday.
 
Well, the story is true - but the picture misleading.
 
This is what actually happened: 

They broke the World Record for the distance jumped by a tractor & trailer unit and also the suspension of the tractor unit.

The F1 car was racing alongside (or behind as the photographer was looking) the jump and would have been flattened if it had been where the photographer initially wants us to believe it is.

Still very impressive.

Here they are receiving their World Record certificate.
I knew there had to be some interesting F1 news somewhere this week.  (Sorry Lewis, only joking, well done to you too)
