2016 BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX
As a result of Ericsson’s smash the Safety Car was deployed and the field
again bunched up behind the course car until lap 20. But as soon as it pulled off
track there was more drama. Raikkonen lost control on the main straight and the
Finn hit the wall on both sides of track before coming to a halt by the pit wall, facing
the wrong way. As the field avoided him in the spray, the SC was deployed again
before the red flags quickly came out.
The field pulled into the pit lane and it then became a waiting game as the
conditions continued to make racing impossible. Eventually Race Control signalled
that the race would re-start at 15:21 local time.
