The Mexican Grand Prix has been red-flagged at half-distance due to barrier damage from a heavy crash for Kevin Magnussen
The Mexican Grand Prix has been stopped at the halfway point due to barrier damage caused by Kevin Magnussen’s heavy crash. Magnussen was able to exit the car on his own after the incident, which appeared to be caused by a suspension failure. Footage showed the left rear corner of Magnussen’s Haas buckling as he turned into a right-hander, causing him to veer into the outside barriers. Although the Haas sustained severe damage and caught fire, it was the damage to the barrier that led to the race being halted. When the race resumes, Max Verstappen will be in the lead, followed by Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen took the lead from third on the grid on the first lap. Unfortunately, Sergio Perez, Verstappen’s Red Bull teammate, attempted to follow him but collided with Leclerc, resulting in his immediate retirement and disappointing the home crowd.
