Faco of epic proportions. The first free practice barely lasted ten minutes due to a poorly sealed sewer and the second ones started more than two hours late, after clearing the public from the stands and with 90 minutes left to compensate. Leclerc finished in front… at four in the morning! Esteban Ocon ran over a loose manhole, lifting the cover and damaging the Alpine’s chassis. Alonso, who was riding right behind the Frenchman, showed off some incredible reflexes and managed to avoid it by swerving. The worst part went to Carlos Sainz, who hit the obstacle fully at 318 km/h, destroying his car, although fortunately he escaped the scare, in which his seat even broke. “It’s going to cost us a fortune,” lamented Scuderia boss Fred Vasseur. To make matters worse, the FIA penalized Sainz for resorting to the third battery. A nonsense.
