The Ferrari driver arrived to a cease on a slope around an entry issue in the operate-off spot at change 4. A marshal ran out to spot a chock guiding his entrance-proper wheel to cease the car or truck rolling backwards, but the car or truck started to go as he experimented with to place it into placement.

Though flames started to get keep at the back again of the car or truck, Sainz was torn involving escaping the F1-seventy five and avoiding it rolling back again in direction of the circuit.

“It was not an suitable and an uneasy circumstance for absolutely sure due to the fact I noticed in my mirrors that the car or truck was catching hearth, but at the very same time I was urgent the brake,” he explained to F1 Triviaand other media soon after the race.

“As quickly as I experimented with to soar out, I noticed that the car or truck was rolling backwards and I did not want to depart the car or truck entirely totally free, out of handle, rolling backwards though leaping out.
