Fernando spun and collided with Bottas, he had to change the nose of his Aston Martin

The Asturian has gone to the back of the grid, like Sainz, who also had a bad start

The Las Vegas Grand Prix has started badly for the two Spanish drivers, who have gone to the back of the grid. Fernando Alonso, who started very strong from ninth position, spun and collided with Bottas, to drop to 19th place, warning by radio of damage to his Aston Martin.

Checo Pérez has also suffered a blow that has forced him to change the nose of his Red Bull, just like Fernando has done. For his part, Carlos Sainz has been involved in the mess at the start and has also lost many positions to drop to 18th.

At the opposite end Lance Stroll and Yuki Tsunoda, who started from the last row with soft tires compared to the majority choice by the media, have reached the top 10 after the eventful start.

After the first virtual safety car that allowed Bottas, Alonso and Checo to repair their cars, another strange accident by Lando Norris, who hit the protection barriers on lap 3, led to the second safety car.
