Formula 4 racer Sophia Floersch has been fined €5000 (NZ$7800) after she shared a video of her narrowly avoiding a collision with a recovery vehicle during practice at Oschersleben without permission yesterday.
The German teenager uploaded a video to her social media accounts showing onboard footage of her just managing to avoid a road vehicle entering the track from the right hand side.
Floersch had failed to slow down during the lap despite red flags being displayed by officials.
The red flags can be seen to the right of the frame in the video, shortly before she meets the SUV and swerves off the track to safety.
