Tsunoda clipped the kerb at Turn 5 and rolled his Red Bull upside down onto the gravel.

After another flip, the car crashed hard into the wall just metres from the watching crowd.

The 25-year-old was seen walking away from the wreck under his own steam.

Tsunoda was immediately assessed in the medical van but appeared to avoid any significant injury.

The Japanese star replaced Liam Lawson as Max Verstappen’s team-mate just two drives into the season.

His former team-mate Lawson, was heard on team radio after the incident gasping: “Oh my god! I just saw the video. Is he ok?”

Lawson, 23, was dumped by Red Bull chiefs after failing to get to grips with the RB21 during the Australian and Chinese Grand Prixs.

Earlier this season, Tsunoda caused huge damage to his Red Bull at the Saudi Grand Prix after a crash in practice.
