CARLOS SAINZ was forced to retire from the Austrian Grand Prix before it even began after his car caught fire.
The start of the race was delayed following the incident during the formation lap.
The issue arose on the grid with the Williams failing to start as the other 19 cars got underway.
Sainz was able to start but could not complete the formation lap as it went into the pits.
Fire marshalls then rushed to the vehicle to put out a small fire in the rear of the car.
Sainz was then forced out of the race, with the start delayed by 18 minutes.
