Race canceled, I hope there is no critical injury but it is not sounding promising.

The Formula 2 feature race at Spa has been cancelled after a high-speed crash at Raidillon brought out a red flag on the second lap.

Alfa Romeo Formula 1 junior Juan Manuel Correa crashed at Raidillon in his Sauber Junior Team entry, which then triggered further contact behind.

Renault junior Anthoine Hubert was also involved and his was the car with the most damage.
Medical crews arrived at the scene shortly after the accident.
Giuliano Alesi made it to the end of the Kemmel Straight before pulling over, while his Trident teammate Ralph Boschung got back to the pits with a puncture.
Marino Sato was also involved and walked back to the paddock.
Championship leader Nyck de Vries had been on pole and maintained the race lead after the first lap.

Worst crash I've ever seen in motorsports and that includes the 18 car pile up I've seen into turn 1 at Spa.

Yeah. The GT races also have their fair share of crashes going up the hill into the barriers and very often you find the car carerring back onto the track.
