A chaotic start to the Austrian Grand Prix, which saw Carlos Sainz eliminated before he even got underway!
The Austrian Grand Prix start was aborted due to Carlos Sainz’s failure to get away at the beginning of the formation lap from 19th on the grid.
Sainz reported his car stuck, prompting race control to halt the start as pole-sitter Lando Norris approached the final sector, triggering a 10-minute delay protocol.
Sainz eventually managed to get his car moving just as the other cars reached the start-finish straight.
Unfortunately, as Sainz headed back to the pit lane, his car started smoking and flames erupted from the rear brakes, forcing him out of the race.
The grand prix was shortened by one lap due to the delayed start caused by Sainz’s car trouble.
