Sergio Perez crashes out of qualifying at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The Mexican, who is coming under increasing pressure to keep hold of his Red Bull seat despite signing a new deal, spun off in damp conditions at Turn 7 and slammed into the barriers in the opening session of qualifying at the Hungaroring.
The crash, which caused heavy damage to Perez’s Red Bull car, means he will start Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix no higher than 16th. Reacting to the accident, Martin Brundle said on Sky Sports:"Was he taking crazy speed into the corner? Was he off line? Did he make a mistake? No. He turned in on the right line and there just wasn't any grip when he got there.
