MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar has lost control of his car on the formation lap of the Australian Grand Prix, with the French driver sliding into a barrier at turn two and out of the race. The 20-year-old has impressed through the weekend, but was one of the least prepared of the six rookies on the F1 grid with fewer than 500 laps in a Grand Prix car ahead of the race. The race will now go ahead with 19 runners, with the cars returned to the grid ahead of a second formation lap that is scheduled at 3.15pm local time (0415 GMT). Intermittent rain and strong winds are expected throughout the race.
