Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez crashed a £300,000 Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo into a barrier at a racetrack before leaving the scene, miraculously unharmed.
The track is one of the world's most notorious, where F1 driver Niki Lauda had his fiery crash in 1976.
Shocking images show Sánchez's car completely wrecked after the severe impact around 2:30 PM on Monday, with the front of the Ferrari smashed.
The £25 million, 6-foot-6 Spanish shot-stopper — currently on loan at Como — was speeding around the track before going too fast on the infamous Caracciola-Karussell corner.
A 58-year-old British holidaymaker witnessed the terrifying crash, saying: "He came into the corner way too fast, probably doing about 70 mph.
"He went straight into the corner, and the track immediately red-flagged.
"It's a banked corner, over 180 degrees, and he clearly hit the throttle too hard and went straight into the barrier.
"The front of the Ferrari was completely destroyed, with debris scattered all over the track.
"I think he was just trying to enjoy his week."
The Brit, who was behind Sánchez in his own Audi TT, added: "We had to drive over the wreckage to get out.
"Then we had to queue up and drive around the track while staff spent about an hour clearing the scene.
"Hundreds of people saw the accident. It was the talk of the town that day.
"Everyone was asking what happened because his car was completely written off.
"Sánchez was unharmed. He got out of the car as if nothing had happened and immediately started picking up pieces of debris.
"He almost instantly jumped out, and the entire track was immediately red-flagged.
"We didn't realize it was him until we saw the name on the side of his car.
"He didn't seem flustered at all."
Other photos show Sánchez's luxurious Ferrari race car being towed away.
One photo shows shattered bonnet fragments in a plastic bag.
The British eyewitness added: "He was wearing his normal clothes but still had his racing helmet on.
"He didn't take off his helmet for a while. It seemed like he wanted to remain anonymous, a bit like The Stig.
"Even after the car was brought back to the parking lot, he didn't want to take off his helmet for some reason."
They added: "Track staff had to repair the barrier before allowing everyone to continue. The repairs took about an hour.
"Sánchez himself wanted to help put the debris into bags. He also had some friends with him, who were not far behind and stopped to help pick up the debris."
Anyone can access this track by paying a toll. The track bypasses racing regulations because it is classified as a toll road with no speed limits.
You just need to drive about 8 hours from the UK, or fly there, rent a car, pay the toll, and you can hit the road with no speed limits.
Sánchez has a history of driving incidents. In April this year, he was caught speeding in his Mercedes in Crawley, Surrey.
Records obtained by The Sun show he received 3 points on his license and was fined £1,520 by magistrates.
The Spanish goalkeeper is also known for owning a large collection of supercars.
The former Chelsea number one often drives his £88,000 classic BMW E30 325 to and from Chelsea's Cobham training ground.
He also owns an £88,000 grey 1988 BMW with a 2.5-liter engine, as well as a £100,000 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V-spec, which gained fame from the Fast & Furious franchise.
Sánchez also owns a £500,000 olive green Lamborghini Urus.
