Chaotic start for the Russian Grand Prixi!
F1 News
The start for the Russian Grand is normally a time when a lot of things are happening and that has certainly been the case this year. For example, Max Verstappen did not have a good start and Carlos Sainz made a huge mistake.
At the start Lewis Hamilton got away well, but that cannot be said of Max Verstappen. The Dutchman immediately loses his position to Valtteri Bottas and in turn two he ends up cutting the corner, after which he has to let Daniel Ricciardo go in front of him.

Big mistake from Sainz
After that, the race is stopped by means of a Safety Car, because there is even more drama behind the Dutchman. Carlos Sainz has taken the same route as Verstappen, but hits the wall. Lance Stroll is then tapped by Charles Leclerc and ends up in the wall, calling out the Safety Car.
