H\ufeffaas driver Nico Hulkenberg<\/a> says he had a "serious code brown" moment when faced with the stricken Williams of Alex Albon at the Australian Grand Prix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Albon crashed on \ufefflap six of the race at the high speed turn six, hitting the tyre barrier and bouncing back onto the circuit.<\/p>\n

He scattered debris and gravel across the track, forcing officials to call for the first of three red flags that punctuated the race, the first time in F1 history a race has been stopped three times.<\/p>\n

Following circuit modifications that were made during the COVID-19 pandemic, turn six is taken at about 220 km\/h.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"Holy moly, I mean seriously I had a code brown in that moment," Hulkenberg said.<\/p>\n

"That was seriously scary. I mean, thank God nothing happened. But this is a nightmare scenario. You've come around a blind corner in a street circuit.<\/p>\n

"That was seriously scary and sketchy. That's a bad example of a driver losing the car, crashing and coming back onto the track, and because there's a gravel trap, there was dust, so you could not really see much.<\/p>\n

Hulkenberg was just seconds behind Albon on the track when the accident occurred, meaning there was no time for any warning.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I think Pierre (Gasly) was in front of me, he was the first car, I was the second car, and no marshal in the world can react that fast," he said.<\/p>\n

"We didn't have yellow flags, I just saw the cloud of dust and I saw gravel flying around, so I sort of didn't take the ideal or normal racing line, I went a bit wider.<\/p>\n

"I think I still didn't miss him by much though, I immediately shouted on the radio that we need a safety car and that it was a dangerous situation."<\/p>\n

Hulkenberg went on to finish the race in seventh spot, sandwiched between the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri<\/a>.<\/p>\n
