A ꦰphotographer caught up in the big crash at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix has spoken out.

Andrea Bruno Diodato, a 29-year-old freelance photographer who works in sports and entertainment, avoided serious harm despite his proximity to the huge first-lap smash between 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg.

“🅠My work sometimes teaches us to lis📖ten even before seeing certain situations,” he told .

“And 💖so in those moments: after a Sauber passed by, the uniform noise as the cars passed was as if it had stopped for a moment and I understood that something was about to happen. Then the collision."

He explained: "There were about ten of us, now I only have ൲a bruise after the impact.

“Those who suffered the most ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚdamage may have thrown themselves to the ground to take cove💯r.

“No serious consequences.

"I was there because I used a wide-angle lens for the🎃 ♑start.

“I wanted to show a🤪 bit of the surrounding context, so the city, the details of the track 🌄and the huge number of cars. In short, it was an interesting part to work in."

After reviewi🔥ng the incident, the photographer refused to place blame with the F1 drivers.

"If I put myself in the driver's shoes, I must say that in a c🥃ertain sense I understand Magnussen,” he said.

“In a race where it is very d🅰ifficult to overtake, perhaps in that situation he 𓄧saw the only glimmer of opportunity to succeed.

“I don't feel like accusing or condemning him."

Despite his lucky near-miss, he is ꧑back at work this weekend.

"No, no fear,” the photographer explained.

“So much so that I immed꧃iately returned to the track and will also be on track [this] weekend at Mugello for the MotoGP.

"In Monaco there is no safety problem.

“I know that circuit well and if there were no se💧rious consequences aft🅷er the impact it is also because the guardrails are very solid, as are the posts in the asphalt.

“I thꦜink that track offers many more certainties when comp𝓰ared to others and other situations.

“I'm thinking for exampl﷽e of the accident involving Zhou (with Albon) at ܫSilverstone in 2022.

“Maybe the show isn't exciting on the track, but the safety standards are high. And i👍n any case we are all aware that there is a risk in doing this job."
