VIDEO: Verstappen's fiery Hockenheim pit-stop!

Terrifying stuff...

The 1994 German Grand Prix was won by Gerhard Berger of Ferrari, but the most famous, or infamous, story from the event concerned the botched pitstop of Jos Verstappen, the father of current Red Bull driver Max Verstappen. Whilst in the pit in his Benetton, the car became engulfed in flames after a fuel spillage, resulting in him catching fire. He was very fortunate to escape with minor burns around his eyes and nose.
