The Azerbaijan Formula 1 Grand Prix ended with a horrifying near-miss when Alpine driver Esteban Ocon drove into the pit lane on the last lap as a large crowd blocked his path.

Mechanics and photographers intending to capture the race-winning moment from the pits were forced to quickly jump out of the way.

Due to mandatory pit stop rules, Ocon was forced to pit as he hadn't the entire race. Luckily, no one was injured and the FIA is now investigating.
