The start of the
Russian Grand Prix was chaotic. The race for
Lance Stroll and
Carlos Sainz ended immediately.
In turn two it was immediately over for
Carlos Sainz. The
McLaren driver ends up making a detour, but then hits the barrier himself.
Lance Stroll, meanwhile, is hit by
Charles Leclerc a few corners later, causing the
Racing Point driver to spin and end up in the wall. The crash causes enough damage for the race management to bring out the safety car.
