Toro Rosso Formula 1 driver Alexander Albon admits a “misjudgement” led to his “silly error” as he crashed at the start of second prac♌tice for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

൲Albon dipped his front-lꦉeft wheel onto the grass at Turn 14 at the beginning of FP2 and suffered a hefty impact after being thrown into the barriers on the exit of the final corner.

The British-born Thai dꦉriver - who was taken to the medical centre as a precaution due to the impact registering more than 15G - missed the rest of the rain-affected session after picking up significant damage on✃ his STR14.

“It was just a misjudgement🌠 really,” Albon explained.

“Of course you always swing into the corner, so it’s not always🌊 easy to find the limit but of course you want to be as wide as possible and I misjudged it.

“I think normally it’s always theꦚ front tyre that you dip, but the front didn’t actually go onto the grass, it kind of jus🀅t stayed off.

“So I had the feeling that it was fine, I didn’t🏅 feel the front drop, so the rear dropped. If you feel the front drop you ca💖n normally react to it, lock the wheel and just go straight on.

“But because the front didn’t drop I didn’t even think I was on the grass. Tu💮rned in and obviously the rear gave way, I went into the spin. The weather didn’t help with it raining so it was very slippery, so just a silly error.

“Of course there’s damage but I thin𓃲k everything is OK,” he addeജd. “But we’ll see. This isn’t the one [gearbox] we use for Saturday and Sunday, but it’s looking okay. It’s more just damage.”

Asked how much of a setback he thinks his crash will prove to be, Albon replied: “We’ll see because tomorrow ꦓis meant to be raining.

“If it’s rainiဣng obviously not good but if it’s dry it’s obviously not too bad. Damage-wise obviously there’s quite a lot of damage but not a lot to report.

“In terms of running everyone was restricted so we꧅’re nꦺot far behind. So we can still continue our plan.”
