– Definitely not cool. It’s so tragic, it happened twice in the same lane, in the same place now. Don’t know what happened there now. “It’s really sad for the whole team and for motorsport,” said Hauger after he cruised to seventh place.
Impressed
The Norwegian further said that he was affected by the death.
– Of course. It’s not something one can stop thinking about like that. Of course something affects you before a race like this.
Before the sprint race started, a memorial was held in memory of the 18-year-old player.
At 9.55am Sunday, Formula 2 drivers will race in the Austrian Grand Prix.
