F3 Metropolitana Rollover in La Plata Leaves 19-Year-Old Cristian Galeano With Minor Injury

Quick medical care at the La Plata circuit kept a violent crash from becoming a tragedy.

Overview

  • Cristian Galeano, who crashed Saturday during a Fórmula 3 Metropolitana series at La Plata’s Roberto Mouras circuit, rolled five to six times in his single-seater and destroyed the car.
  • Track rescue and medical teams immobilized the driver and moved him to the circuit clinic, where officials reported a hard knee hit but no serious injuries and confirmed he was out of danger.
  • The race segment ended early under a safety car, and Nazareno López was recorded as the winner of that battery as the weekend program moved ahead.
  • Initial reports suggest Galeano’s car may have touched another vehicle in a fast section before the rollover, a detail noted in early coverage but not yet confirmed by stewards.
  • Galeano drives for Scudería Ramini, recently earned his first pole, and later eased concerns with a thumbs-up at the track and a lighthearted post on social media.
