Sniper-like gravel shot: F1 driver out of the race due to a bizarre, Mario Kart-style mishap

At the Spanish Grand Prix, Audi driver Nico Hülkenberg was forced to retire due to a single, tiny stone kicked up by a rival. Liam Lawson, driving ahead, accidentally clipped the track edge at Turn 12, sending a cloud of gravel into the air. In a freak turn of events, a piece of debris struck the engine kill switch—located on the car's roll hoop—with pinpoint accuracy. The button instantly cut power to all the car's systems, turning a multi-million-dollar, high-tech supercar into a lifeless heap of carbon fiber. Safety regulations make it impossible to restart the engine on-track after such a shutdown, so the driver had to coast dejectedly back to the pits and end his race early. It seems it is time for Formula 1 organizers to officially add banana peels and green shells to the rulebook, given that real-world racing has become indistinguishable from a chaotic arcade game.
