Before the Azerbaijan Grand Prix gets underway for the Formula 1 drivers, the Formula 2 feature race took place. However, there was a massive accident right off the start line involving Kush Maini, Oliver Goethe and Josep Maria Marti, resulting in a red flag

As soon as the lights went out, there was a problem with Maini's car which had stalled on the line, meaning it was stationary while the others were racing away. Unfortunately, Goethe and Marti could not get out of the way of the blocking car, with Marti's car flipping upside down as a result of the huge impact with Maini's car. Thankfully, everyone involved was ok, and there were no injuries reported.

There was also fear from Isack Hadjar who saw his teammate crash heavily. "Oh my god, that was really bad," the Frenchman responded over the team radio.
