The competitor was coming through the Swimming Pool chicane on a fast lap when the RB22 ended up losing its rear, going over the curb. As a result, he hit the barrier and immediately damaged his car, losing the front wing and one of the tires.
First a yellow flag was deployed, but shortly after a red flag interruption with just under 24 minutes remaining in the session. Immediately after the crash, Hadjar came on the radio to say that he “doesn’t understand why the rear went out like that.”
