The F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix has been red-flagged following༺ a big crash for Williaไms’ Franco Colapinto.

Colapinto lost control of his Williams coming out of the final corner and slammed into the barriers while the race was n🔴eutralised by the Safety Car amid worsening heavy rain.

The Argentinian was unhurt in the incident but race control immediately red-flagged the race on Lap 33 following the 𒅌shunt.

Esteban Ocon was leading the race at the tim🍒e of the suspension, ahead of Red B𒅌ull’s Max Verstappen and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly.

All three drivers are yet to make a pit stop and wꦉill benefit hugely from the red flag period, which will enable them to make a f💯ree tyre change.

Verstappen’s championship rival Lando Norris is fourth inꦗ hi💛s McLaren ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell, who snatched the lead from Norris at the start.

Both Russell and Norris pitted during a Vi♔rtual Safety Car prior to the Safety Car period and red flag. 

Yuki Tsunoda, Charles Lecler☂c, Oscar Piastri, Fernando Alonso and✤ Liam Lawson make up the rest of the top-10 at the time of the red flag. 

An FIA spokesperson has confirmed the race will resume with a rolling restart once conditions ha🌊ve🎉 improved sufficiently.
