Vitaly Petrov flies during the 2011 Malaysian GP

If you missed this weekend's Malaysian GP, you didn't miss much (we won't spoil it for you) except for Vitaly Petrov's launching of his Lotus-Renault racer over a grassy knoll at the end of the race. He landed so hard the steering column broke off in his hands.

The flight came after a rather standard minor off and trip through the gravel trap--but the launch into the air was anything but ordinary. Check out the video below before Formula One Management gets their lawyers on it.
