F1 leader Kimi Antonelli hits the wall in Azerbaijan Grand Prix qualifying
BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — Formula 1 leader Kimi Antonelli faces a significant setback for the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix after crashing into a wall during qualifying. The incident resulted in damage to both a wheel and the suspension of his vehicle. Although his previous lap time was sufficient to prevent his elimination during the initial stage of qualifying, it appears that he will be unable to continue. Consequently, he is expected to start the Saturday race from 16th position on the grid.
