"Hayıııııııııııır!" The anguished cry of "No!" echoed from Burak, Rümeysa, and Güldane in unison as they shot up from their seats in the grandstand. Fatih's kart was spinning, a victim of the first-corner chaos. A collective gasp, a symphony of "Aaaaaaaaaaaah!" rippled through the crowd – a mix of sympathy from neutral onlookers and a sudden, sharp intake of breath from those who now saw the race thrown wide open. The initial shock quickly gave way to intense curiosity: how would Fatih react?
"As he waits to rejoin safely, Fatih looks eerily still," the main commentator observed, his voice returning to Fatih's plight after quickly running through the new top ten order. "I'm not sure if he's just incredibly calm or has simply given up. It's a terrible shame; he's now completely out of contention for the win."
