A recovery lorry hit a metal advertising bridge on the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg before the Formula One Austrian Grand Prix and the structure crashed to the ground.

According to the Austrian news agency APA, the accident happened after the Formula Two race on Sunday morning after the first turn.

According to the fire brigade, nobody was injured. Emergency services were on site a few hours before the 11th F1 race of the season to remove the debris as quickly as possible.

Pictures showed, among other things, that a tractor and a lorry were at the affected site.

The start of the Porsche Supercup had to be temporarily postponed, but the F1 race remains scheduled to start at 1300 GMT with Lando Norris of McLaren on pole position.
