Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz had to retire from the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday with his car erupting in flames.
The Spaniard — who won the British Grand Prix last Sunday which was his maiden Formula One success — pulled off the circuit on lap 58 and onto the safety gravel.
There was a worrying moment when smoke engulfed the car with Sainz still stuck in the cockpit.
But marshals arrived and the Spaniard got out safely.
His teammate Charles Leclerc was leading the race from 2021 world champion Max Verstappen.
