Gabriel Bortoleto was involved in a humorous post-race collision in the pit lane after the Japanese Grand Prix.
The Brazilian driver drove to 13th place at Suzuka on Sunday as Audi failed to walk away from the race with points.
Bortoleto drove a rather quiet race, but his biggest drama occurred in the pit lane - while he was exiting the car.
After he parked up his Audi challenger, Bortoleto hoisted himself out of the car by jumping from the cockpit.
Unfortunately for him, a mechanic was walking where he jumped, causing Bortoleto to fall to the ground.
Thankfully, neither the mechanic nor the driver appeared to be hurt!
