The safety car is out at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after a crash for Williams star Alex Albon.

Albon was languishing in the midfield pack when he crashed his Williams car hard into the Tecpro barriers at turn five on lap 31 of Saturday's race.

The FIA immediately deployed the safety car, with many of the drivers using it as an opportunity to pit and save valuable race time.

Thankfully, after the crash, Albon confirmed that he was okay and unharmed during the incident.
