George Russell-Antonio Giovinazzi Crash: Watch two F1 drivers leaving the race after losing control on their cars, leave massive debris.
The first 15 laps of the Belgian Grand Prix were entertaining, even though there was hardly any difference on the top of the table, but below it, there was all chaos.
As soon, the race crossed the 10th lap mark, two drivers faced elimination, after Alfa Romeo’s Antonio Giovinazzi lost control of the car and barged into the barrier, shredding his car into pieces, which came onto the track.
His teammate Kimi Raikkonen was just behind him and luckily passed the section safely. However, George Russel was not lucky enough, as Giovinazzi’s car still had the momentum and gave no space to Russel to pass, leading the British driver hitting his car on the side.

With this, the debris of two cars was all over that sector and Nicholas Latifi’s car and two Haas had to pass cautiously. Considering the amount of debris on the floor, ideally, Red Flag should have been waved.

But the stewards only showed the yellow car and the rest of the drivers followed the safety car, which was deployed, it continued for the next three laps, and in the meantime, all the drivers changed their tires except Sergio Perez and Pierre Gasly.
