Nicholas Latifi is unable to continue during the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix. The Canadian crashed, as he did a day earlier, hard into the wall, causing a yellow flag on the track.

The driver started the GP from eighteenth place and hoped to make up some ground in the race, but didn't manage it. Even before the twentieth lap he had to drop out. He steered to the left and suddenly lost his car, causing him to hit the right wall.

The stewards needed several laps to clean up the mess on the track. As a result, the FIA brought a safety car onto the track, while many drivers chose to go in and change tires.
