Fernando Alonso suffers heavy crash after Liam Lawson collision

Fernando Alonso suffered a heavy crash in the closing stages of the Miami Sprint, held at the Miami International Autodrome. 

The sprint had been delayed following a heavy rain shower ahead of the race, which saw Charles Leclerc crash on his recon lap. 

Despite challenging conditions, Alonso was the first driver to crash when the sprint had started; however, it was not his fault. 

After switching to slick tyres, Alonso was battling with Liam Lawson who hit the inside of the Aston Martin driver. It sent the two-time world champion into the world, destroying his AMR25. 

Alonso had been set for his first point finish of the season, only to lose it following the accident.
