Gabriel Bortoletto’s Sao Paulo GP debut was a tumultuous one. The Formula 1 driver crashed right at the start of the race. Sauber driver Lance Stroll came into contact with Aston Martin, lost control of the car and crashed into the wall.
The Brazilian was competing for position with the Canadian when he was pressured. He lost control of the car after part of the car passed through the grass.
