Antonio Giovinazzi and George Russell crashed into the starting grid before the start of today’s Turkish Grand Prix.
The couple was involved in various incidents during their rounds of reconnaissance. Before today’s race it continued to rain on the Istanbul Park circuit and the conditions are very slippery again.
Giovinazzi spun into a gravel trap at turn two. There was no obvious suspension damage to his Alfa Romeo and Giovinazzi was able to return to the starting grid. He should start the race from 10th place on the grid.
Russell crashed into the wall at the pit lane entrance. He told his team that he was “walking at walking pace, it’s ridiculous”.
Williams has confirmed that both drivers will start from the pit lane.
