Marcus Ericsson is out of the second free practice session after damaging his Sauber car in the first practice session.
The Sauber driver spun towards the end of the session earlier, and hit the barrier.
The car then set fire towards the rear end of the car and consequently burned away the right side of the engine cover and parts below.
"For Marcus, it was a tough session this morning and he won't do FP2 this afternoon," Sauber's team principal Frederic Vasseur told Autosport.
Ericsson concluded the first session in 14th place, less than a tenth of a second behind his team mate Charles Leclerc.

"We have a small update on the car, but it is difficult to see this morning," Vasseur added.
"Step by step, we are improving.
"The first package was to catch up the field and I think we did it, now we have to improve step by step."
FP2 gets underway at 15:00 UK time.
