Formula 1 | Sainz hits the wall in FP3 in Montreal: the episode [VIDEO]

Formula 1 Ferrari Sainz accident – We report the violent impact of Carlos Sainz against the barriers during the third free practice session valid for the Canadian Grand Prix, ninth round of the 2023 Formula 1 world championship.

The Spaniard, during one of the various time attacks in the morning, lost control of his SF-23 at the entrance to turn 1, first ending up against the external barrier and then in the internal escape route of the corner. A fairly violent collision that completely demolished the front wall and part of the rear.

Fortunately, despite the damage, the mechanics managed to put the car back together, which allowed the Iberian to take part in last night's qualifying. Sainz, we remember, closed last night's session in eighth place, but due to an impediment he was relegated three positions on the starting grid. Appointment at 20.00pm this evening on Sky Sport F1 HD for NowTV for the start of this Canadian GP.
