A familiar face to F1 fans had a dramatic first lap in the LeMansCentenary.
The former Williams driver Jack Aitken crashed within the first lap of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.

The 27-year-old was able to crawl his way back to the pits and the team made the necessary repairs to get the car running again but Aitken re-emerged at the back of the grid and after two hours of running, remained there.
Aitken spent three seasons with Williams having joined the driver academy in 2020 and even took part in the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix, filling in for George Russell who in turn was filling in for Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton after the seven-time World Champion tested positive for COVID.Drama on the first lap for the #311 Action Express Racing as Jack Aitken hits the barrier.
