World champion Kimi Antonelli has just gone off the track, 40 minutes before the start of the race.

The pit lane is open, and the drivers need to get their cars to the grid.

But the slippery conditions have caught out the new champion, with Antonelli going off the track and nearly getting stuck in the grass.

He was able to find an escape road and eventually get back to the pits, but it took a while.

The rain from qualifying yesterday continued, and there has been plenty of rain on Sunday (local time).
