M1 driver's miraculous escape after Ferrari supercar spins out, goes airborne and melts in fire

The driver of a high-end Ferrari supercar had a miraculous escape after spinning out and losing control on the M1.

In what must have looked like a scene from a Fast & Furious movie, the Italian supercar went airborne, burst into flames and melted into a pile of singed pieces.
