Lewis Hamilton is out of the US Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver had a great start, but he got stuck in the gravel trap in Sector 3, in the same corner where George Russell crashed out yesterday in qualifying.

Hamilton had a good start after a difficult qualifying on Saturday, and earned five positions on Lap 1. However, on Lap 2, he got stuck in the gravel trap after he lost the back of his car, causing a Safety Car. This is the first Safety Car since the Canadian GP.
