Esteban Ocon has crashed out of Q2 at Turn 2 of the Bahrain International Circuit. The Frenchman is unhurt, but was slow to remove himself from the car.
After a tidy Turn 1, the car started to squirm as it travelled over the kerb and, with a solid tank slapper after an up-shift, veered off the track and into the barrier. While the driver was on his first timed lap of Q2, he placed himself in P12 in Q1, showing potential in the Haas machine.
Sky Sports F1’s Martin Brundle said the following on the crash:
“That’s a tough old angle he’s gone in there. You can see how quickly the car stopped once it’s hit the barrier. That tells you how much energy has dissipated.”
He added:
“He was on all the right bits of the race track, it looked all under control, but he upshifted, gets a torque spike and as he was trying to wrestle it, it went around.”
The driver has been taken by the medical car to be checked over.
It’s expected the session will resume at 5.37pm.
