An incident involving Formula 4 driver Sophia Floersch at Oschersleben is being investigated after she nearly crashed into a recovery vehicle under red flag conditions.
A video published by Floersch on her social media accounts showed the onboard footage of her car during free practice for the ADAC German series as she just managed to avoid a road vehicle entering the track from the right hand side.
Floersch has subsequently been fined 20,000 Euros for posting the video of the red flag incident without the permission of the ADAC.
An ADAC spokesperson told Autosport that Floersch had failed to slow down during the lap despite the red flags being displayed.
The video shows red flags on the right of the frame just moments before Floersch reaches the place where the safety vehicle is on its way to recover a stricken car in the run-off area to the left of the track.
