Formula 1's Brazilian Grand Prix was red-flagged on the second lap on Sunday to allow barrier repairs following a first-corner crash.
At the start Williams driver Alex Albon tangled with both Haas cars, sending him and Kevin Magnussen into the wall. Starting behind Nico Hulkenberg and Magnussen in 13th, Albon made a good launch off the line to threaten both into Turn 1. But as he pulled ahead of Hulkenberg on the outside, the German was squeezed on the inside by team-mate Magnussen and couldn't back out of a closing gap in time.
McLaren's Oscar Piastri was also an innocent victim of the crash, having been swiped by a spinning Magnussen which the team felt made the car not safe to continue. McLaren, however, worked on the car during the red-flag period in the hope of getting him back out for the restart. Before the start, second-place qualifier Charles Leclerc had already been eliminated by spinning into the wall on the formation lap at Ferrarrura.
