Alonso and Gutierrez unscathed after fierce collision

Fernando Alonso and Esteban Gutierrez have both walked away from a dramatic high-speed crash that flipped Alonso's car twice and caused a suspension of the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Alonso's McLaren rammed into the back of Gutierrez's Haas, causing the Spanish driver to flip over twice at high speed, leaving his car in a crumpled wreck.

Alonso walked gingerly from the wreck, and shook hands with Gutierrez, who was clearly worried about his fellow driver's well-being.

"It was a scary moment," said Alonso. "I feel lucky to be here. It's because of our safety standards that I am still alive."

McLaren teammate Jenson Button told media: "I saw the incident with Fernando Alonso back and I'm amazed he walked away. It shows how far we've come with the cars in terms of safety."
