It was the ring around the manhole cover (so they say).

I would be furious if I paid hundreds for a practice session and they canceled it 10 minutes in.

This is an absolute fail by someone. All the buildup and this happens? What an embarrassment.

Adam Cooper @adamcooperF1
@alpine is changing @OconEsteban's chassis due to drain damage. What a disaster...

The Saudis would have beheaded somebody by now if they owned F1. A reasonable response IMO

RaceFans @racefansdotnet
When this happened at @BakuCityCircuit in 2019 they checked over 300 drain covers before resuming:

That’s not a drain cover. That’s a water valve cover.

It's completely gone from everywhere. Not on ESPN2 anymore nor the ESPN app. Gone. Crazy.

That’s a welded down manhole cover being ripped out of the asphalt. I don’t see how this race happens

That thing is 8” wide. It’s not a manhole.

That looks a lot smaller than a manhole cover.

Yeah well it would be nice if I could watch on ESPN as advertised and I pay for it and all.

Pretty shitty to cut the feed.

Sky Sports F1
@SkySportsF1
The FIA confirm that the issue in FP1 was from a 'concrete frame around a manhole cover that has failed' and that they will check all other manhole covers at the circuit
