Esteban Ocon

Bahrain GP qualifying red-flagged after Esteban Ocon crash

A red flag has been flown in the second part of qualifying ahead of this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix.

A crash for Esteban Ocon has caused a red flag in the second part of qualifying ahead of this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix. 

The Haas driver crashed on the exit of Turn 3 as he started his first push lap in Q2 after his car snapped on him when changing direction and running across the kerb. 

It was a medium-speed impact for the Frenchman with just over 11 minutes remaining in the session, with the rear of his car having sustained significant damage. 

His car made contact with the barrier backwards, raising questions whether a new power unit or gearbox will be required.
