An assessment at the medical centre revealed no injuries, and he was transferred to a hospital for precautionary checks.

The impact of the crash broke the car in two pieces, with the gearbox assembly falling off as the wreck was lifted onto a recovery truck.

The session was halted for over 50 minutes as the car was recovered, barriers were repaired and the track surface was cleaned.
