Formula 1 | FP1 Baku, the images of Russell's contact with the manhole [VIDEO]
The Englishman ended up on a cover that had come off the road surface
We bring you the images of George Russell's dangerous impact with a manhole during FP1 of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the third round of this 2019 Formula 1 world championship.
After about thirteen minutes of free practice, we remember, the Englishman ended up on top of a cast iron cover that had come out of the road surface, completely destroying the bottom of the car and the body of the FW42.
Furthermore, possible damage to the car's electrical system and power unit cannot be ruled out, given that some torn cables under the belly of the single-seater are clearly visible from the images broadcast this morning.
An important problem that will force the Mercedes Academy standard bearer to completely miss the free practice scheduled for this afternoon.
See you at 15.00 pm, on Sky Sport F1 HD, for the live coverage of the second free practice session on the Baku city track.
