Formula 1 is a complex series where hundreds of factors can influence the race start, the on-track action and the final result. As such, there are hundreds of things that can also go wrong in a grand prix.

The German was racing in the points – on track to score his first of the season – when gravel kicked up by Liam Lawson ahead managed to strike the kill switch on his car.
