Miettinen, 66, was involved in a multi-car collision that forced an immediate red flag and the cancellation of the day's events.

Despite the rapid response of emergency medical teams, the driver could not be saved.

Max Verstappen, who was preparing to race on the same track, expressed his shock and offered his condolences to Miettinen's family.

The tragedy has reignited debates over safety standards at the Nurburgring, often considered one of the most dangerous circuits in the world.
