The start of the Japanese GP always involves tension because the first corner is narrow and has a relatively high speed. This edition will not be less and the severe accident between Alexander Albon and Daniel Ricciardo It reflects this.
The Thai was positioned on the outside of turn three without the Australian noticing and as he regained the line, Albon was forced onto the grass, lost control and grabbed Ricciardo’s right rear wheel. The result was a hard accident with two cars destroyed under a pile of protective tires and red flags. The two pilots did not sustain any serious injuries.
Very bad news for both considering that Ricciardo has threatened his position and at the start of the campaign he was heavily questioned due to his poor performance at RB while Albon ended up with another wrecked Williams and Grove’s team many problems. getting replacement pieces. Sargeant is out of the race in Australia due to the inability to repair the injury.
Above the situation there is not much change. In fact, the top nine maintained their position and Verstappen was able to withstand Checo’s attack leading before the race was stopped.
Alonso was the only one in the top 12 to start on soft tires. The Asturian had a new set of tires and had to take advantage of the opportunity by starting from a clean field in fifth place. However, this is not enough to get positions. He attacked Norris and Carlos but the McLaren made him some sort of blocker which prevented him from passing.
