Formula 1: Carlos Sainz’s Williams Car Catches Fire Before Start Of Austrian Grand Prix; Video
Williams’ Carlos Sainz faced a dramatic and premature end to his Austrian Grand Prix before the start even got underway. During the formation lap at the Red Bull Ring, Sainz’s car developed a mechanical problem, resulting in smoke or a fire.
Race officials immediately aborted the start and summoned the marshals to attend to the car. Sadly, Sainz was forced to retire from the race before it even began, recorded as a DNF (Did Not Finish).
This comes as a crushing blow for the Spanish driver, who had hoped to build momentum on his Williams debut this year. Instead, his weekend ended in disappointment after such a dramatic formation-lap issue.
