The Japanese driver clipped the kerb and lost control of the rear of the RB21. Momentum carried it sideways before he hit the barriers and flipped upside down. Thankfully, the car landed the right way up and Tsunoda was able to exit the car unassisted and walk away from the crash.

Yuki Tsunoda has been taken to the Imola circuit’s medical centre after suffering a massive crash at the start of qualifying at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The Japanese driver, at the start of his first flying lap in Q1, lost control of his car heading into the turn 5-6 chicane.
