THIS is the horrifying moment a huge crash occurred during a Formula Two race.
With all drivers on the grid at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the lights went out to signal the start of the race.

But disaster struck for Kush Maini as his car failed to start, leaving him stationary on the track.
A couple of drivers were able to swerve the Invicta Racing driver – but Pepe Marti was unable to avoid a collision.
He smashed into the back of Maini and destroyed the back of his car.
Marti was sent flying, with his vehicle flipping onto its side and sliding across the tarmac.
Debris covered the track and Oliver Goethe was also unable to continue after he was knocked against the wall as he tried to avoid a dangerous pile up.
Fellow driver Isack Hadjar was heard panicked on the team radio, saying: “Oh my God, that was really bad.”
Thankfully, F2 confirmed all three drivers were OK.
And Goethe was seen speaking to a marshal straight after he climbed out his car.
Fans have hailed how all managed to escape without an injury as a “miracle”.
Others commented: “Such a scary incident, so grateful everyone is okay.”
And another added: “Thank goodness for the halo and a good chassis.”
Analysing the crash, Sky Sports commentators said: “It is worst case scenario.
“It’s always the drivers towards the rear of the field, they are doing a higher when you get there. Your reaction time is ever reduced as you go back through the rows of the grid.
“Those in front use their great reaction times to dart out of the way. You’re unsighted until so late.”

IT’S THAT time of year when Apple unveils it’s big annual update: iOS 18.
It’s jam-packed with new features, and will be free to download from September 16.
But there are a handful of things iPhone owners must do to prepare their devices for the system overhaul.
First, check that your device is compatible with the update.
Dozens of devices are capable of running iOS 18, check the full list below to see if you’re eligible:
If your device is not listed, then you will not be able to use iOS 18 and it’s new features.
On the day a major iOS update arrives, Apple’s servers can become overloaded, which can make installing it take longer than usual.
Before iOS 18 arrives, it’s wise to update your device to the latest software that is currently available.
This will help make sure that the larger iOS 18 operating system downloads smoothly.
It will also mean your phone is protected against cyber vulnerabilities, as it can be while before the server frenzy dies down.
You may also want to wait a week or so until Apple issues iOS 18.1, which is usually a fix for any bugs that arrive within the first iteration.
It is advised to have at least 15GB of storage space to spare on your iPhone to download iOS 18.
Iterations of iOS 17 currently take up around 11GB of storage on iPhones, while versions of iOS 16 typically took up 10GB.
If that trajectory is anything to go by, iOS 18 is likely to be 12GB or above.
If you don’t have enough storage, you should try and make some room.
You can do this a number of ways, such as deleting or offloading unused apps, axing downloaded content or shafting more images and videos onto iCloud.
You may want to back up your iPhone using iCloud, or the Finder on a Mac or iTunes on a PC.
Previously, people have complained that they lost data like old text messages and photos during an update.
The Sun has detailed how you can back up your iPhone prior to an iOS update here.
Right before you hit that download button, you want to ensure your iPhone has enough battery to install the software properly.
If your battery dies while updating critical parts of iOS 18, it may well brick your iPhone.
Bricking is when an electronic device becomes completely unresponsive and can’t function.
Fortunately, most devices take about 30 minutes to update – so you don’t need masses of charge.
You can set up you iPhone so that it updates automatically overnight while it’s charging.
Here are some of the best...
A CAR expert has picked out a handful of good looking motors that can be bought for £5,000 or under.
That includes a sporty coupe that is a known favourite of Top Gear legend Richard Hammond.
Motoring guru Jonny Brighton of the YouTube channel Cars With JB has given petrolheads his top choices for cars “that look insanely good” on a budget.
His picks include the stunning Alfa Romeo Brera, a hatchback coupe designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro – the designer behind the likes of the VW Golf, BMW M1 and even the DMC DeLorean.
Jonny said: “Even the name ‘Brera’ is synonymous with beauty as it’s named after an area in Milan known for its art.”
On the cars looks, he added: “These are beautiful looking cars that really stand out on the roads – even more so in ‘Alfa red’.”
Jonny claims these can be bought for as little as £2,000, with £5,000 enough for a 2006 model with 80,000 miles on the clock.
Petrolheads may be drawn to a rival of the Audi TT – the seldom seen Peugeot RCZ.
It’s a favourite of celebrity gearhead Richard Hammond, who described the 133 mph motor as “actually as fast as it looks.”
Back in 2010, Hammond wrote: “This more powerful version is as different from the standard car as would be an RCZ fitted with a one-cylinder diesel engine from a dumper truck that you started with a handle.
“This car looks just as sexy as the less powerful RCZ and is indeed considerably faster.”
Speaking about the RCZ, Jonny said: “They’re kind of like a cheap fast hot hatchback that looks like a sports car.
“I wouldn’t say the interiors are particularly pretty but outside they are quite striking, with that double-bubble roof being reminiscent of race cars.”
A third motor picked out by Jonny is the Renault Megane RS – specifically the second-gen model.
Describing it as “a lovely aggressive coupe-style hot hatch”, the Megane RS can hit 0-60 mph in just 5.8 seconds thanks to its 2.0-litre turbocharged engine.
Jonny added: “It’s not just great looking, it’s absolutely focused on performance with serious features like the Brembo brakes, actually operable splitter and diffuser, and of course the analog rev-counter to help with shifting while out on track.”
Like the other two cars mentioned, these can be bought for under £5,000 – with Jonny tracking one down for £4,700.
Elsewhere, petrolheads can pick up a luxury sports saloon with the same speed as a BMW M3 for under £5,000.
And an electronics giant known for their television sets has revealed a bizarre EV campervan that’s like a luxury lounge on wheels.
SEAN O’MALLEY went into UFC 306 expecting to defend a flurry of punches and takedown attempts from Merab Dvalishvili.
But he didn’t expect to receive a bunch of KISSES from the Georgian gladiator midway through their historic Sin City Sphere showdown early this morning.
"What is going on?"

O’Malley looked to make his second defence of the men’s bantamweight title in the showpiece bout at Vegas’ brand-spanking new venue.
But his reign as king of the 135-pounders came to a gruelling end as Dvalishvili outworked him for three of the five rounds to earn a unanimous decision victory.
Tensions were high throughout the build-up to the bantamweight war.
And you could cut it with a knife in the early exchanges of the fight.
It wasn’t long before relentless cardio and takedown machine Dvalishvili began dictating the pace and taking O’Malley down at will.
The biggest fight of the Tbilisi titan’s career soon became one of his most enjoyable, a fact he showed late in the second round.
With seconds of the stanza remaining and O’Malley in a guillotine, Dvalishvili repeatedly KISSED the back of the champion’s neck before letting go of the submission after thinking the horn had gone.
A visibly frustrated O’Malley leapt to his feet and landed two right hands on the retreating challenger, who ended up being told off by referee Herb Dean.

MMA fans couldn’t quite believe their eyes, with one writing on X: “The level of disrespect SHM.”
Another said: “Kid got humiliated.”
And another said: “Merab is a real clown.”
One remarked: “Sean was more upset about getting kissed than anything else.”
Another chimed in: “Spread love and get hits at the back.”
Dvalishvili’s mid-fight smooching of O’Malley also baffled UFC President and CEO Dana White.
The 55-year-old said in the post-fight press conference: “The kissing on the back and standing and walking away right before the bell.
“I have no idea [why he did that].
“Merab does some s**t. You know what I mean? It was weird but not shocking.”
When asked to explain why he kissed O’Malley, Dvalishvili, 33, said: “Yeah, so I grabbed his neck, and then he had 10 seconds left.
“And I know he can wait – he’s not going to go to sleep or tap, and I wanted to make just a little fun of him you know.
“I don’t hate the guy, just make fun of him but at the same time give him a little kiss to show that I’m dominating, I control this fight, I break you..
“That’s why I was kissing. But I had too much fun there, and I guess I lost the time control.
“But when I let go he followed me, and he punched the back of my head and I started protecting myself again.
“And I said, ‘Referee, I’m sorry referee, I’m sorry!’”
Victory over O’Malley saw Dvalishvili become the UFC’s second Georgian-born champion, seven months after his compatriot Ilia Topuria knocked out Alexander Volkanovski to claim featherweight gold.
PRINCE Harry will accept an £8million inheritance despite not being a working royal – with an expert claiming Meghan is “desperate” for the cash.
Before her death, Harry’s great-gran the Queen Mother arranged for him to get the trust fund payment on his 40th birthday.
That milestone falls today – and Harry is reportedly set to accept the cash sum despite no longer being a working royal.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold told the New York Post: “I’ve no doubt that Harry will accept it.
“It’s money that’s owed to him, money that’s coming to him. I don’t think he will decline the money.
“It’s inheritance so it’s his right. It’s already something that has been set in place for years now.”
The Queen Mother put aside a tax-free £19million trust fund in 1994 to leave to her great-grandchildren.
Her bequest was divided into two installments – one payment when the royals turned 21, and another on their 40th.
Royal expert Hugo Vickers said the timing couldn’t be better for Harry and Meghan.
Vickers told The Sun: “No doubt it would be helpful because I think he leads a very expensive lifestyle.
“Hopefully he will put the money to good use. £8million can disappear pretty fast in a place like Montecito.
“The couple have an enormous staff, a big house to maintain, and cars.
“Harry has to pay for his own security too which we know he takes very seriously.”
Harry got a surprise 40th birthday message from Kate and William’s account this morning – in a hint of an olive branch after their feud.
Posting on Instagram, William and Kate’s account said: “Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex.”
The official account shared a snap of California-based Harry smiling in a grey suit and white shirt.
But the post was not signed off with William or Kate’s initials, as is normally the case for posts they write themselves.
The Royal Family’s account shared the same snap, saying: “Wishing the Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!”
It is the first time the royal family has shared a public message for Harry since wishing him a happy birthday in 2021.
Last year the royals declined to publicly celebrate Harry’s 39th birthday.
Harry was heard admitting he hadn’t heard from his family when asked by a well-wisher at the 2023 Invictus Games in Germany.
The royals’ silence came after Harry released his memoir Spare, which blasted his entire family – including William, Kate and Camilla.
This year prince is marking his 40th birthday with family and friends at his £11million mansion in California.
He will then jet off for a “weekend getaway” with a few close friends, The Sun revealed this week.
It is not yet known where Harry will go or who will join him on the trip.
But the group is unlikely to include his brother William – as he and Harry have not spoken for more than two years.
And Harry’s wife Meghan and children Archie and Lilibet will stay at home while he heads off with his mates.
The band of brothers could include Harry’s polo BFF, his “second dad” and a “party animal” pal.
Harry is reportedly asking former aides to help him plan a comeback from his US exile and spend more time in Britain.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, is said to be consulting people “from his old life” after growing frustrated with American PR experts.
Harry reportedly plans to spend more time in the UK in a bid to repair his relationship with King Charles.
The strategy could see a “rehabilitated” Harry stage a partial return to royal life.
But insiders said Harry and Meghan are not seeking a permanent return from California.
A source told the Mail: “Harry is turning away from all sorts of Hollywood publicists and is seeking counsel from his old friends and associates.
“He is clearly reaching out thinking, ‘I need to do something different because what I’m doing is clearly not working’.”
The source added: “In short, Prince Harry is rethinking the way he operates.”
Harry has reportedly sent WhatsApp messages to a number of old friends in the UK.
The prince’s former private secretary Edward Lane Fox has reportedly been tipped to plot a comeback.
But Lane Fox said: “It’s not something I’ve got a view on I’m afraid.”
Harry has reportedly decided not to update his memoir Spare for its paperback edition, which is due to come out on October 24.
He will not be doing any interviews to promote the paperback, it is understood.
Friends are said to believe Harry’s comeback could succeed if it staged with zero publicity or “fuss”.
It is feared that Harry’s relationship with his brother William is beyond repair.
But King Charles is reportedly open to spending more time with his son.
It comes after The Sun revealed William and Harry stood “virtually back to back” at their uncle’s memorial service.
Harry secretly dashed from his US home to the service for Lord Robert Fellowes, who was married to Princess Diana’s sister Jane.
But the Duke of Sussex and his brother did not exchange a word at Thursday’s memorial in the Norfolk village of Snettisham.
One mourner told The Sun: “They were only five yards from each other.”
William and Harry chatted to mourners as they mingled at their uncle’s memorial service.
At one point the princes were standing “virtually back to back” at the wake.
But both left separately without seemingly exchanging a word, onlookers said.
The Sun revealed Harry jetted in secret from the US after previously saying he could not attend due to security fears.
PREGNANT Georgia Kousoulou showed off her growing baby bump while enjoying a TOWIE reunion with Amy Childs.
The 33-year-old is expecting her second child with Tommy Mallet, 32.
Georgia attended a VIP launch event in Knightsbridge, London, for a brand-new kids’ toy yesterday.
The star looked comfortable and chic in black leggings, a long top, and a cozy knit cardigan.
She attended the event with her three-year-old son, Brody, and caught up with Towie legend Amy Childs, who came down with her kids.
Amy was one of the original TOWIE stars who rose to fame when the show first aired in 2010.
Although Amy, 34, left after two series, she returned in 2020 and recently revealed her desire to still be filming for the ITVBe series in ten years.
Georgia and Tommy, on the other hand, left TOWIE in 2021 and were subsequently given their own reality show, Baby Steps.
The show offers viewers a glimpse into their relationship and their lives as parents to their toddler son, Brody.
Tommy and Georgia attended the NTA’s earlier this week.
Georgia wore a stunning pink velvet bodycon dress with a sleeveless, turtleneck design and a scarf-like drape.
She showcased her growing bump by gently cradling it in some of the photos as she posed at the NTAs.
Georgia styled her blonde hair in large, bouncy curls and completed her look with full glam makeup.
She shared some of the stunning snaps on Instagram, captioning it: “It took a village.”
Fans were quick to shower the star with compliments with one writing: “Wow! You look beautiful Georgia!”
Another added: “Love the dress & You look great.”
“You look beautiful and radiant,” penned a third.
And a fourth wrote: “That’s a lovely, & beautiful bump.”
Georgia and husband Tommy secretly got married last year.
Back in May, Georgia and Tommy revealed the happy news that they are expecting their second child after their heartbreaking miscarriage.
They revealed that they had undergone IVF to have a little girl, who will be born at the end of this year.
