Pierre Gasly flips and Isack Hadjar crashes in dramatic Miami GP lap

Pierre Gasly Isack Hadjar Liam Lawson Miami the Miami Grand Prix

Isack Hadjar and Pierre Gasly both crashed out of the Miami Grand Prix in separate incidents on the sixth lap of the race at the Hard Rock Stadium, leading to the deployment of the safety car.

After starting the race from the pitlane, Hadjar clipped the wall and seemed to break his front suspension before he crashed into the wall of Turn 13. The French-Algerian driver was seen thumping his steering wheel and helmet in a rage. 

In the same lap, Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson locked up on the inside of Gasly, who had been defending Lawson and attacking Williams' Alex Albon at the time, causing the Alpine to flip and crash into the barriers. Fortunately, the Frenchman quickly confirmed that he was OK. 

Lawson also retired from the race due to damage sustained from the collision with Gasly. The incident is under investigation with the stewards.

At the time of the safety car, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc had taken the lead of the race. Lando Norris had also just overtaken polesitter Kimi Antonelli for second before the safety car was deployed.

Many of the drivers decided against pitting under safety car conditions as rain was expected later in the race. "There's a possible short shower on lap 25, that could be heavy but not long duration," Oscar Piastri was told by McLaren.

The safety car remained out until the end of Lap 11.

Prior to the race, Gasly sat eighth in the drivers' standings with 16 points after a promising start to the season for Alpine. Hadjar was 12th with four points and Lawson 10th with 10 points.
