Verstappen crashes before Hungarian GP start

Rain in the build-up to the race start left the track wet, forcing drivers to complete their reconnaissance laps to the grid on the intermediate compound tyre.

Verstappen lost control of his car at Turn 12 on his way to the grid after locking the front-left tyre and both rears, causing him to lose the back-end of his car before sliding sideways into the barrier.

The collision tore the front wing from Verstappen’s Red Bull RB16 car, and also left him with suspension damage.

Verstappen reported over the radio that it was “suspension, everything” that was damaged, but managed to get his car to the grid, where he is due to start seventh.

The Red Bull team was seen finding a replacement front wing for Verstappen’s car that was taken to the grid for repairs to continue.
