The Frenchman crashed into the barriers after losing control of his RB22 through the chicane before the long back straight, bringing his race to an end in the wall.
There was drama for
Pierre Gasly as well, with the Frenchman also hitting the barriers at the penultimate corner after being tagged by Liam Lawson and being forced to retire from the race. The double incident triggered the deployment of the safety car to clear the debris from the track and recover the cars.
