The start of the Austrian Grand Prix was aborted after Carlos Sainz failed to get away at the start of the formation lap.
As the cars pulled away, Sainz failed to move off from 19th on the grid as he reported the car was stuck and unable to move.
Race control made the decision to abort the start as pole-sitter Lando Norris came through the final sector, initiating the procedure that results in a 10-minute delay.
Sainz was able to get going out of his grid box right as the cars came onto the start-finish straight.
But as Sainz returned to the pit lane, the car began to smoke before flames billowed from the rear brakes, ensuring he would not take part in the remainder of the grand prix.
Due to the aborted start, the race length was shortened by one lap.
