The new Formula 1 season starts in Melbourne. But the first weekend goes badly for some stars. Max Verstappen had an accident in the qualifying. His car spun in the first turn. The rear axle of his Red Bull suddenly locked.
Verstappen slid into the gravel trap. He hit the tire stacks. The world champion stayed unhurt. But he held his hand after getting out. Now he must start the race from the very back. He was very disappointed about the mistake on his race car.
Kimi Antonelli also had a bad crash. That happened already in the training. The young Mercedes driver lost control. He crashed hard against a wall. His car was badly damaged. Antonelli is okay though. The mechanics had to repair his car quickly.
