American YouTuber Mr Beast has been involved in a crash at the circuit that hosts the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.

Mr Beast is currently taking part in a celebrity racing programme in conjunction with Formula E, alongside the likes of Brooklyn Beckham and Sergio Aguero.

The name of the programme is 'Evo Sessions', with 11 celebrities in total taking to the track at the Miami International Autodrome, getting a taste of what it's like to drive a real racing car.

However, when MrBeast hit the track, things went wrong for the YouTuber, showing his lack of experience handling such machinery.

The incident happened on just his second lap, when he was being guided around the circuit by a safety car.

The Cupra Kiro is normally raced by David Beckmann, who will be relieved to find out that the YouTube sensation did not damage his car too heavily, but the special event had to be halted as the car was taken back to the pits.

MrBeast is the most successful YouTuber in history, boasting a record 370 million subscribers and catching the eye with his high-production-value videos.

The American also owns a number of businesses, including MrBeast Burger and a chocolate company called Feastables.
