With almost 15 laps to go, Lando Norris gets into the gravel trap due to engine problems and has to be towed. There is a safety car phase, which almost all drivers use for a pit stop
The next failure. Alexander Albon has to leave the race for reasons still unknown
Esteban Ocon also had to finish the race early due to technical problems
Valtteri Bottas has an engine problem and must abandon the race on lap 20. Great disappointment for the driver after a great qualifying and a good start to the race
Kimi Raikkonen gets too close to George Russel and lifts the rear wheel. Russel picks it up briefly, luckily nothing happens. However, the rear tires are badly damaged in the new impact after the short take-off and he has to abandon the race.
The start was uneventful. Bottas can defend first place and is already making up time. Hamilton and Verstappen remain vigilant as the rest of the field lags behind
The drivers are on the track. The race starts in a few minutes.
Formula 1 comes to a halt today in Germany, where the Eifel Grand Prix is at stake. Will Mercedes’ superiority to Hamilton and Bottas stop or can they further extend their advantage in the World Cup?
