His crash in turn fifteen of the Baku street circuit meant the end of practice for Max Verstappen. Although the driver is expected to be present at the qualifying session, the team radio just after the crash might reveal another problem for the team.
After the crash in the third free practice session, Verstappen's engineers at the pit wall advised him to drive the car back onto the track, and then try to bring it to the pit lane.
However, Verstappen notices that the car is not cooperating, and he cannot manage to put the car in reverse. "I can't use it, I can't manage it," the Dutchman reports back.

The damage to the RB16B of the Dutchman seemed to be limited to the front wing, which broke in half during the crash. However, it is possible that the suspension and gearbox were also affected by the impact, something which will give Verstappen's engineers an extra headache in their race against the clock.
