Yuki Tsunoda crashed during the second free practice session at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, bringing out the red flag. The Japanese racer offered an immediate update on his health, confirming that he was “okay” on the radio. Tsunoda was pushing on his soft-compound tyre run when he clipped the inside wall on the entry into the final corner. This broke the left-front axle and caused him to lose steering, sending him careening towards the outside wall for a second impact.
The 24-year-old hopped onto the radio after the impact to declare himself “okay” before apologising to his engineers. The crash left debris scattered across the track and forced the marshals to throw the red flag. The FP2 session was eventually resumed with just over one minute left on the clock.
