Double Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso suffered a big crash on the 10th stage of the Dakar Rally as he rolled his Toyota twice.

Both Alonso and his co-driver Marc Coma were unhurt in the incident, and Alonso even proceeded to immediately drive away from the scene despite losing his windscreen.

Not a smooth start of the stage for @alo_oficial!

Every Lap. Every Story.

He dropped over 1h with an early crash and resumed driving without a windshield!
