Alex Albon crashed into the wall at Turn Five, prompting the deployment of the safety car during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The incident occurred on the Baku street circuit, where Albon’s car made contact with the barrier at the high‑speed Turn Five corner.
Race officials immediately called for the safety car to neutralise the field while the damaged vehicle was removed and the track cleared.
The safety car period temporarily bunched up the competitors, allowing marshals to attend to the crash site safely before racing could resume.
After the debris was cleared and the track deemed safe, the safety car withdrew and the Grand Prix continued under green‑flag conditions.
