The shocking 160mph crash saw Perez’s rear right wheel clipped by Magnussen before he violently spun to the right and into the wall before the momentum took him further up the track.

Fellow Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg was then caught up in the madness as Perez’s car caught him and forced him to spin around.

Stewards initially waved for a yellow flag before quickly upgrading it to a red flag and stopping the session.

The track was left covered in debris from the crash, while Perez’s car was left without any of it’s wheels, with only the monocoque left intact.
