All four drivers are ok
Two crashes in quick succession saw the red flag come out during the Tuscan Grand Prix.
It is the second time in two weeks a race has been red flagged, after the Monza Grand Prix was stopped following a huge crash for Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc at Parabolica at the halfway point of the race last weekend.
The first crash occurred when Max Verstappen got off to a slow start and informed his Red Bull team that he had no power, before getting caught in a tangle and ploughing into the gravel.

When the race was restarted, four cars were involved in a collision straight away. All four drivers emerged unscathed, it has been confirmed.

McLaren driver Carlos Sainz said: “By the time I saw everything it was too late – it was a big crash. The main thing is that we are all ok.”
