In one of the most bizarre incidents in motorsport in recent memory, a racing driver who was allegedly driven off the track by a competitor was seen throwing debris from his own kart at the competitor after waiting for him to drive by his crash site.
Luca Corberi, a 23-year-old kart racer, has been met with widespread condemnation for the violent act, and Formula 1 legend Jenson Button has led calls for a lifetime ban.
In the shocking footage, Corberi can be seen waiting at the side of the track, clearly looking for the driver who allegedly drove him off the track twice throughout the event. Corberi then picked up the bumper which had become free from his kart and threw it at the driver.
You can watch footage of the incident below:
Former F1 World Champion Button took to Twitter to vent his disgust at Corberi’s actions, linking a video from after the race that showed Corberi and his father, who owns the circuit, physically assaulting the young driver when they got back to the pits.

Button said:
Luca Corberi has just destroyed any chance he had at a racing career after his disgusting behaviour today at the FIA Karting World champs. His father owns the circuit and is seen power driving the guy into a wall, Life ban for both of these idiots please.
