While Lewis Hamilton caused the first yellow flag in qualifying for the British Grand Prix, it was Kevin Magnussen who caused the first red flag. His Haas came to a halt in the middle of the Silverstone circuit, causing a dangerous situation. Esteban Ocon was approaching at full speed just then and was only just able to avoid the Formula 1 car.
