Hockenheim start lights smashed by bus!

There was a bizarre moment ahead of the German Grand Prix as a bus smashed into the start lights on the pit straight at the Hockenheimring.

Repairs were required after the incident on Thursday, and a low clearance warning was switched on to prevent a repeat.

Practice in Azerbaijan was halted when George Russell's car was damaged by a loose drain cover, and the farce continued as the Williams was taken back to the pits on a low-loader, which crashed into a bridge in Baku.
