After the horrific accident a week ago in Spa, in which Anthoine Hubert died, this weekend in Monza, spectators were frightened by Formula 3 racer Alex Peroni, who drove off the track and over a high curb in the fastest bend of the track called Parabolika. the race management installed it to prevent racers from getting on time by driving off the designated track.
