Niki Lauda, driving the Ferrari 312 at the Nurburgring, Germany 1976.
This flying moment is just a couple of seconds before he lost control of the car and had a horrible crash, where his Ferrari burst into flames and nearly killed Lauda.
This accident pretty much ripped his face apart, but even after this Lauda continued to run in Formula 1.
