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.

Brands Hatch, 1976.
A very controversial Grand Prix. In the beggining of the race, Niki Lauda’s and Clay Regazzoni’s Ferraris touched wheels, which caused Clay and James Hunts to crash. The race was restarted after Hunt’s McLaren was repaired and he would win the GP.
Some days later his repairs were claimed to have been done illegaly, so victory was given to Niki Lauda instead.
