Bahrain Grand Prix qualifying red-flagged as driver suffers high-speed crash
Bahrain Grand Prix qualifying was red-flagged with 11 minutes left on the clock in Q2 on Saturday after Esteban Ocon suffered a high-speed crash on the exit of Turn Two. The Frenchman was carrying the banner for Haas in Q2 after team-mate Oliver Bearman finished slowest of all in Q1, but the 28-year-old’s session came to an abrupt end when he lost control on the exit kerb at Turn Two.
Ocon’s loss of control sent his VF-25 machine spinning to the left, and he collided hard with the outside wall. The Haas driver’s machine then came to rest in the gravel pit with significant damage.
