The second red flag of the weekend is a fact in Hungary. On a wet Hungaroring, Carlos Sainz spun and touched the wall exiting Turn 3. The Spaniard needed some help from a marshall to continue his way as he was on the wet grass. Under his own power, Sainz then reached the pit lane, with the track soon released by race control.
