      Nate Mullan, 18, and his navigator were leading their V8 Superboats Championship race when their 590-horsepower boat came off course on the last corner.
      They flipped out of the water and onto the grass with the navigator quickly managing to escape the rubble.
      However, Mullan only emerged from the upside-down boat as it became engulfed in flames.
      Terrified spectators could hear the PA commentator shout over the tannoy: “Have we got them both out? I can’t quite see.

      “I think we have. Get the buckets, guys. Where’s some more extinguishers?”
      The superboat was completely destroyed in the crash, but Phonsy Mullan, a fellow racer and Nate’s father, was just happy to see two youngsters escape with their lives.
      He told Channel Seven: “At the end of the day the boat can be replaced. The boys can’t be. That’s the biggest thing.”
      He later provided an update on social media, writing on Facebook: “We certainly had a mixed fortune of events on the weekend Racing.

      And that also provided more details about the scary accident.
      They wrote in the description of the page: “Thankfully both driver and navigator are ok but if they did not get themselves out of the boat in the seconds they had , they would not have been here to tell the story.”

      by

      But they were drawn in Group Three insteadCredit: UEFA
      But a rule that limits the distance Kazakhstan have to travel in Uefa competitions means they could not be put in a group with England and Ireland.
      Prior to the draw, it was agreed that Kazakhstan could only be drawn in a group with only one of England, Ireland and Wales.
      England were given Greece instead as the third team in B2.
      That saw Kazakhstan put into Group three instead, alongside Austria, Norway and Slovenia.

      FA speak to Man Utd star Garnacho after he posts then deletes ‘controversial’ message about Onana

      by

      MANCHESTER Utd star Alejandro Garnacho is being spoken to by the FA over deleted social media messages about team-mate Andre Onana, it’s understood.Onana had spared United’s blushes with a match-winning penalty save against FC Copenhagen in their Champions League group stage match on Wednesday night.

      A post uploaded by Garnacho with two gorilla emojis was swiftly deletedCredit: Instagram
      And the young Argentine posted a snap of himself and other United players celebrating Onana’s heroics on Twitter – including two gorilla emojis.
      Despite swiftly editing then deleting the post, the FA were alerted to it and have since liaised with the 19-year-old winger to investigate the matter.
      And while there is no suggestion of racism behind the message, it is likely the athlete will be hit with a suspension if the Football Association adopt the same approach they have in the past.
      Previously, the FA has punished footballers over other controversial social media postings that were viewed as offensive – even if the meaning was unintended.
      read more in sport
      But Onana has since taken to social media to defend his young teammate.
      Over two Instagram stories, he wrote: “People cannot choose what I should be offended by.
      “I know exactly what @garnacho7 meant: power and strength.
      “This matter should go no further.”
      Most read in Football
      Garnacho has also shared Onana’s defence of him on his own Instagram.
      In 2020, then-United striker Edinson Cavani was suspended for three games for writing “Gracias Negrito” to a friend – with an FA commission finding it a racial term.
      The Uruguay striker asserted that the message “was intended as an affectionate greeting to a friend” following an apology.
      Cavani was slapped with a £100,000 fine and made to complete face-to-face education.
      The previous year, Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva picked up a one-match ban and £50,000 fine for posting the image of the popular Conguitos chocolate bar, which has long been accused of racist undertones.
      And while the swiftness of the post’s deletion and Garnacho’s youth will be factors taken into account, he may yet be made to pay for a moment’s unintentional foolishness.

      The FA are aware of the post in question and have sought Garnacho’s observations on it.
      The Sun has approached Manchester United for comment.
