Showoff BMW Sauber F1 driver makes an ass of himself

[Tiesto]

BMW thought it would be a good idea to bring out the new Sauber F1 car for a bit of fun at the BMW plant in Munich. Why not halt ze making of ze Bimmers for a few minutes and give the 5,000 or so workers a little entertainment? Well, we can think of a reason. BMW's driver Nick Heidfeld zooms down the strasse and does a donut for the crowd yesterday without incident. Apparently pleased with himself, he guns that big engine and heads down the street for an encore. This is where things start to fall apart. Literally. Overcome with the joy of a well executed donut, Heidfeld loses track of where the barrier is. Oops. At least he missed the medical car. Thankfully, someone made a video of it because the official F1 press release was typically mum about the incident. We tell ya, Bernie's yet to find a problem he can't ignore.

meh he just bumped the wall and took out the front spoiler. Nothing a 10 second pit stop cant fix... for like $20,000. I think if he had spiked the brakes he could have stopped... just though he could make it.

I think its awesome that bmw even put on that event for the plant workers!

I agree, props to BMW for holding such a badass event for all its employees. It wasn't the crash I expected, but im sure it added excitement!

It's not as if this guy's career is to know how to drive a F1 or anything.
