@keithcollantine Ah sorry! :)
I don’t remember a huge crash for Vettel in Formula 1. It’s actually something that’s come to my attention before. It’d be nice if he never has such an accident.
This incident happened at Spa and I’ve heard he either broke or almost severed his finger during the crash. And you guessed it right, it was “that” finger! I always wondered if “the finger” has something to do with this accident.
There is another guy spinning before him. He’s the second one, with Red Bull colors:
Vettel on Raikkonen:

He closes all the gap to Raikkonen in 1 lap and overtakes him.
Prior to that, his car with slicks was all over the place on the damp track, and so was Raikkonen’s. But he was massively faster than him, even as fast as Mercedes, and managed to control that car beautifully. Checked out the weather (hand off the steering wheel), and outbraked his teammate into the corner on that damp circuit with a car that looks decidedly difficult to handle.
I believe he kind of pushed his teammate to pitting for interns with that move. So, it had some serious repercussions too…Massa on Ericsson was too heavily DRS assisted for my taste as all the other overtakes by Massa. But he did complete it successfully. Other than that one, I remember Sainz on Ricciardo who was too much off the pace, Vettel on Hulkenberg and Vettel on 14 other people too. Since he broke his personal record with 15 overtakes, braved a chicane with another driver and showed his spatial awareness inside the chicane when he realized Hulkenberg was not going to make it: Vettel on Hulkenberg.
