During the restart, Latifi and Magnussen managed to slow their car down to the speed of that of the frontrunners and avoided an accident. But it was too late for Giovinazzi and Sainz. Giovinazzi crashed into the two cars ahead and Sainz, who only had the view of Giovinazzi’s car, had no time to react as he too crashed into him.

Towards the end of the race, Mclaren’s Team Principal, Andreas Seidl, revealed that Sainz had escaped with bruises and he was fine with no major injuries.
