The Red Baron, whose real name was Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen, was the most famous German flying ace of World War I. He had an incredibly short flying career, which spanned about 1 / 2 of World War I, and died in the age of 25 in April 1918 after being shot down over Morlancourt Ridge, at the Somme. He was officially credited with 80 air combat victories, though further overview of data shows how the number may have been better 100. As for Red Baron airplanes, all were Fokkers, or Albatroses, plus one Halberstadt D.II.

Verstappen was caught out when Grosjean braked sooner than expected before the corner and crashed in the rear right wheel of the Lotus. Verstappen's front left suspension broke on impact and his car crashed in to the barrier at substantially more than 100 mph.
