The opening GP3 race of the weekend at Sochi was cancelled, earlier today, as Toro Rosso Driver Carlos Sainz Jr suffered a heavy accident 35 minutes into the run. Carlos appeared to lose control braking going into turn 13, hit a wall and went straight into the Tecpro safety barriers.
Although, Sainz gave the thumbs up as he was stretchered off which was a sigh of relief for the F1 World.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the crash!

Tost says Toro Rosso probably won't let Carlos Sainz drive in the race even if he wants to. "We have to be careful with those young drivers"
