The F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix has been red-flagged following a big crash for Williams’ Franco Colap♔into.

Colapinto lost control of his Williams coming out of the final corner and slammed into the barriers while the race was neutralised by the Safety Car amid worsening hea💫vy rain.

The Argentinian was unhurt in the in൲cident but race control immediately red-flagged the race on Lap 🧜33 following the shunt.

Esteban Ocon was leading the race at the time of the suspens💛ion, ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly.

All three drivers are yet to make a pit stop and w🙈ill benefit hugely from the red flag period, which will enable them to make a free ty♛re change.

Verstappen’s championship rival Lando Norris is fourth in his McLaren ahead of Mercedes’ George Russellꦓ, who snatched the lead from Norris at the start.

Both Russell and Norris pitted during a Virtual Sa⛎fety Car prior♉ to the Safety Car period and red flag. 

Yuki Tsunoda, Charl♐es Leclerc, 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 have improved suff🌳iciently.
