We had totally missed that on Sunday (orgy of
lives
obliges) and we apologize for it.
During the world karting championships held in Lonato, Italy, a driver committed the irreparable after going off the track in the ninth lap.
Indeed, instead of discreetly regaining the pits as any driver would after a forced retirement, Luca Corberi preferred the option of cable failure.
He then picked up a part of his kart and quietly waited for his opponent, the Italian Paolo Ippolito, whom he accused of being at the origin of his exit from the track, to pass him to throw the part in question at him. .
“But what is he doing?
», Asks the commentator, totally taken aback by the violence of the scene.
After such a slip, one could have imagined that it would have been enough to calm his nerves.
Nay!
The Italian gave a second layer in the pits, once the race was over, throwing himself on poor Ippolito and causing an almost general between the drivers and members of the different teams.
Corberi, young retiree at 23
Stumbled upon this video on the net, former F1 driver Jenson Button then tweeted to ask for the driver (and his father, owner of the circuit in question) to be banned for life from all automobile competitions.
“Luca Corberi has just destroyed any chance of having a racing career after his disgusting behavior today at the FIA Karting World Championships.
His dad owns the circuit and we see him pushing the guy into a wall, lifetime ban for those two idiots please.

The authorities will not finally have to go that far since after apologizing on Facebook, Luca Corberi himself announced that he was putting an end to his career.
“I would like to apologize to the motorsport community for what I have done.
There is no excuse as to why I did such a shameful act, it is something I had never done in my 15 year career, and I really hope no one else does. 'will have to review this in the future, he wrote.
I have decided not to participate in any other motorsport competition for the rest of my life, I am not doing justice myself, it is just the right thing to do ”.
Not better.
