MUST-SEE: Drama as Sainz and Verstappen skate into the gravel at Turn 4 in separate incidents

While Sainz was able to get his Ferrari back on the road and keep going, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen repeated the trick two laps later, the reigning champion also going off – with engineer GianPiero Lambiase blaming a “large gust” for the Dutchman’s error.
