Sergio Perez's Formula 1 future is hanging by a thread after a heavy crash at Turn 8 in Q1, ahead of Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix.
The under pressure Red Bull driver crashed on the outside of Turn 8 after losing the rear of his RB20 with just under seven minutes in the opening part of qualifying remaining.
Perez had started a damp Q1 well at the Hungaroring and was in ninth at the moment of his accident and looked safely through to Q2.
It appeared the 34-year-old did little wrong, with it appearing to be more of an issue to do with rain intensifying. However, a sizeable amount of kerb was taken by Perez.
His RB20 sustained significant damage to its right side and rear, raising questions whether a gearbox change will be required.
