Suzuki’s Joan Mir made a solid start to open up a lead of more than 2 sec by the end of lap 16 before the race was brought to a halt after Yamaha’s Vinales suffered a horrific crash. “I’m very emotional right now,” the 25-year-old Oliveira said. “I’m thankful to all the people who believed in me, including my family, the team and the sponsors. It’s history today for me and my country. I couldn’t be happier to have done it here at the home of [my team] at the Red Bull Circuit.”
