Dreadful crash in third practice in Sochii for Carlos Sainz Jr, session abandoned. No idea of his health following this as the car has no electrical systems hence no communication with the team, we can only pray he is OK

Looks to be a biggie - no replays yet presumably until they know if he is OK....

Was one of the TR pit wall people saying "brake failure"?

update: Carlos extracted from car and gives thumbs up from the stretcher into the ambulance...

Replays show a very fast impact - and a very fast reaction from a mashall rushing to get out of the way behind the barrier!!!

Mind you , it does not look as bad as this one from this years Bathurst meeting... they say at about 300kmph, after a tap from his brother, just a few broken ribs...

People asking "where were the marshals"? Well apparently they were still running for their lives as the car landed on their marshals post!



Even more lucky these marshalls earlier tihs weekend...

And some more action from the GP2 boys - about 5 cars off in the first few corners, and another red flag....and more punishment for the barriers!
