After a chaotic start, Yuki Tsunoda became the first casualty of the sprint race. En route to turn 15, the Japanese driver hit the wall with his right rear wheel, breaking his suspension. Nyck de Vries ' teammate also lost his front wing.

At first, it looked like Tsunoda could continue his way, but after a pit stop, it soon became clear that the car was damaged to such an extent that the Alphatauri driver could not finish his sprint race. See the crash below:
