Kevin Magnussen Smashes Wall In Shock Australian GP Retirement
Kevin Magnussen is the fourth driver to retire from the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne today.
The Haas driver collided with the race wall sending one of his rear tyres flying up into the air and shredding up the hub. The collision caused the second red flag of the race with just two laps to go.
Charles Leclerc was the first to retire in his Ferrari SF-23 after a small collision causing him to spin out at Turn 3 of Lap 1. Alex Albon crashed into the race wall later on in the race, causing the first red flag of the grand prix. George Russell's Mercedes W14 then went up in flames with a power unit issue.
With just two laps to go when the race gets going again, Max Verstappen will be defending his position in first from Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso who are currently sitting in second and third, respectively.
