Carlos Sainz provided the first yellow flag and virtual Safety Car in Russia. Sainz went into the corner just too fast and lost control of his car.

Sainz loses control

Sainz was the first man who went off during the first free practice in Russia. McLaren's Spaniard went into the corner just a little too fast, did not hit the apex and then lost control of his car. The rear wing stuck to his car, but that's all. Sainz managed to find his way back to the pits, but did leave a lot of damage on the track.
