Alex Lynn was hot, very hot Saturday night in Saudi Arabia.
In the second race of the weekend in Diriyah, the British driver clashed with New Zealander Mitch Evans.
A spectacular collision, which Lynn's Mahindra ended upside down, sliding uncontrollably on the Halo before ending its mad race in the safety guards.
An accident that Evans commented on the Motorsports website: “Basically I was defending hard on Alex coming into turn 18. We were really close to the wall, and he didn't really give up.
Was there room?
I'm not sure I need to see the slow motion.
I hope there was and that I didn't do anything unreasonable.
He hooked up my rear wheel and had a plane crash, it was really awful.
It was not a pleasant time.
At one point, I saw him pass overhead, it wasn't great.
But the main thing is that he is doing well. "
We are thankful that Alex Lynn is well after this accident.
Testament to the medical staff, marshals and the @FIA who keep our sport safe.
to Mitch Evans who abandoned his race to run to Alex's aid.

Indeed, despite the violence of the shock, Lynn, transported to the hospital in the wake, finally got out a few hours later.
"I spoke to him, he seems to be doing well but he left for the hospital as a precaution to make sure that there will be nothing once the shock is over," Evans said.
The accident had forced the race management to put an end to a race finally won by Sam Bird at the wheel of his Jaguar in front of the Dutchman Robin Frijns.
