everything on the flying car up front is too straight and proportional to be real … id say the unwrecked flying car is fake plus i am not seeing any sponsorship decals on it … weird … whoever did this photo did a good job of cutting out the vehicle … also i think the suspension would be looser on the flying car if it were real … ---

did a little search. The 25 car is a real F2 car, even with the lack of decals on it.

How does that front car causually “hop” with 4 wheels considering it’s generating a ton or more of downforce? ---

LOL, cmon guys don’t be so fucking skeptical. The flipping car is Theobald, second time hes turned it upside down this season. The #25 is in the air because it just hit the outside curb at speed, they are supposed to be making a hard right at that point of the track. I saw this accident on Speed and the #25 definitely hopped. This was at the Red Bull Ring. I’m really cracking up that people think this is impossible, though the picture does make it look kind of funny. Edit: Just found this on youtube, so I guess this answers the question of what exactly is happening. Notice the 25 hop up over the outside of the track as well.

It really looks like some type of optical illusion going on :dunno ---

I really thought it was fake. Only reasoning it looks so weird, F1 cars are much longer than wider right? #25 is head on, makes it look like a go kart, but the upside down one, is crosswise, so looks bigger. ---

Its an illusion. Front spoiler of #25 is the same width as the upside-down-jet-fighter-race-car. Measure it. ---
