Macau Grand Prix halted after Florsch suffers huge airborne crash
The Macau Grand Prix has been red flagged following a huge accident involving German driver Sophia Florsch

The Macau Grand Prix has been red flagged following a huge accident involving Germany's Sophia Florsch.
The Van Amersfoort driver's car was launched into the air over Sho Tsuboi's, and flew over the barriers and into a photographers' bunker at barely abated speed.
Florsch's car had lost its wheels in a crash earlier down the straight on the approach to the tight Lisboa right-hander - Turn 3.
Footage of the incident showed that Florsch's machine ended up back on its wheels, and the race was stopped immediately.
There was no immediate news of her condition.
The catch fencing had been ripped apart in the accident so would need to be repaired before any restart.
Polesitter Dan Ticktum was leading the race when the race was stopped.
