The unbelievable start to the race saw Leclerc lose control of his steering and smash into the barriers.

He began second in the grid, but his chances of getting something from the race were suddenly over before it had even started.

The 26-year-old could be heard asking his team why he had been unlucky enough to have issues already.

He said: “I lost the hydraulics. Why am I so unlucky? Why am I so f*****g unlucky?”

It’s not the only early drama that the start of the race saw either as Kevin Magnussen, Alex Albon and Oscar Piatri were all ruled out in the early stages.

Mangussen and Albon were out before turn one after the collided and were both sent spinning.

The safety car was immediately deployed as both drivers saw their race come to an end.

And Piastri was an unfortunate bystander who took a hit to his rear side from Magnussen during the drama.

The Aussie driver tried to continue, but was told by the McLaren team that his car wasn’t safe enough to continue.

And all the drama led to a huge amount of debris on the tracks which in turn caused the stewards to red flag the race.
