F1 | Williams, Baku ready to reimburse damages resulting from the impact with the manhole

Baku will reimburse all damages resulting from George Russell's impact with a manhole during free practice for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the fourth round of this 2019 Formula 1 world championship.

According to Arif Rahimov, promoter of the Baku round, the track has already apologized for the unpleasant inconvenience and the insurance will cover all the costs of the accident. Important news that will allow Williams to reassemble all the components lost after last Friday's impact on the car.

“There are more than three hundred covers along the route and we checked them a few days before the weekend,” said Baku race promoter Arif Rahimov. “Unfortunately, these things happen, given that the same problem happened in Monaco, Shanghai and Sepang. It happens on citizens, but also on traditional tracks."

“We have apologized several times to the Williams team and all damages will be reimbursed by the insurance,” he added. “We don't yet know what amount we are talking about, but it will certainly be fully covered.”
