The Formula 2 Abu Dhabi feature race got off with a bang when DAMS driver Nicholas Latifi stalled on the grid before the lights went out to start the race, while several drivers took avoiding action, Trident's Arjun Maini was not so lucky and rammed the back of the stationary car.
FIA race director Charlie Whiting was seen taking avoiding action as the incident happened below the starter's box located beside the Yas Marina track where he was for the start protocol.
