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. GPI
