The Formula 2 Feature Race in Jeddah seems to have been born under a bad star. The last race of the weekend, which should have started at 15:25 Italian time, started more than half an hour late due to work on the protection barriers that took place over time.
When the drivers were given the go-ahead to line up on the grid, and the traffic lights went out, a terrible accident occurred involving Théo Pourchaire and Enzo Fittipaldi.
The French driver, author of the third time in qualifying, stalled at the start and remained planted on his box. Théo was dodged by a good part of the group that came behind him but not by Enzo Fittipaldi.
The Brazilian of the Charouz Racing System did not notice the ART Grand Prix number 10 stopped on the track and hit it in full speed with some debris even in the pit lane.
The race direction immediately displayed the red flag making the drivers return to the pit lane and the ambulance intervened to provide assistance to the two drivers involved.
As soon as official communications are provided on the state of health of Pourchaire and Fittipaldi we will update you.
