It was far from Alex Albon's finest moment at Red Bull when he crashed out of FP2 on Friday of the Mexican Grand Prix and the Thai driver has admitted it may lead to a change in strategy.
Albon spun out at turn seven and shunted his car into the wall bringing his session to a premature end. It means he misses out on more time learning the circuit which could prove important given his lack of experience on the track.
Thankfully Albon came out unscathed and after crashing out he reflected on his early finish and he admitted it may mean a change of plan.
“I’ll have a look at it because it did go really quick," Verstappen said as quoted by RaceFans.
“I wasn’t expecting it to go like that. But just a bit [of a] careless mistake, used a bit too much track. These things go quickly, so when it did snap it went pretty quick.
“I think we missed a good chunk of long running data as well.
“So it won’t be easy. I think we’ll have to change the run plan for FP3 and then try to find a good solution for qualifying.”
