Andrea Kimi Antonelli has crashed out in the
Formula 2 main race. The young Italian collided with
Richard Verschoor in the pit lane, eventually causing his car to fail with a steering issue.
In the pit lane at Qatar, Antonelli and Verschoor collided. The Dutchman's car was released at an unfortunate moment, causing him to make contact with Antonelli.

Antonelli ended up in the gravel as a result. The Italian complained that the crash caused his steering wheel to stop working properly. His engineer then asked if he could continue the race, but Antonelli said it was over.
Verschoor had suffered a puncture due to this imcident. So the Dutchman had to go to the pit lane for a second time for new tyres. Verschoor seemed to be on course for many points, but there seems to be no more of that now. He is still under investigation for this moment in the pit lane.
