Five people have walked out of a plane wreck unscathed after a crash at former F1 champion Nelson Piquet’s farm in Brazil.

The crash took place at the Nelson Piquet International RaceTrack on land owned by the former Brazilian racing driver in the country’s capital Brasilia on Monday morning, 31st January.

According to reports, the small plane was transporting the owner Renato Joner, a rural producer, his daughter Renata Andrea Joner, her husband Thiago Parry, and their two-month-old baby.

The group had departed from the municipality of Luis Eduardo Magalhaes in the state of Bahia, some 290 miles away as the crow flies.

The pilot, the fifth member onboard, said the plane was hit by a strong gust of wind at low altitude, which caused the crash.

The plane, manufactured in 2010, was licensed to carry out private air services for up to five passengers.

After the incident, Renato Joner told TV Globo that everyone was fine despite being very shaken by the incident.

The National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC) said the single-engine aircraft was in good condition and had a valid licence until September this year.

The Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Centre (CENIPA) and Air Force Command will investigate the cause of the crash.

The plane crash, which took place at around 9.30am, happened on a farm owned by former F1 champion Nelson Piquet, 69, and was allegedly caused by strong wind.

The investigation is ongoing.
