Alexander Albon seemed to be busy with a solid day at Silverstone, but halfway through FP2 Max Verstappen's teammate loses the back of his car.

Albon lost control of the wheel at the end of Stowe. A quick right turn at the end of the lap. The car has been written off for the rest of the session.

Albon himself says that he is okay after the big blow to the wall, but he does go in the medical car. The Red Bull Racing mechanics can get back to work to get the car in order for FP3 tomorrow morning.
