Overview
- Stewards also assigned four penalty points to Martí’s licence after finding him at fault for the collision.
- The Cupra Kiro driver misjudged the slowdown under a full-course yellow triggered by Mitch Evans’ crash and hit Antonio Félix da Costa and Nico Müller.
- His car launched over the back of the cars ahead, barrel-rolled and brought out a red flag, though he walked away and said he felt more hurt mentally.
- A small fire broke out at the front of the car; Martí retrieved a fire extinguisher and later said marshals were delayed by a safety gate.
- The incident erased a likely top-five finish for Cupra Kiro on debut after limited practice, with team-mate Dan Ticktum also retiring.
