Toro Rosso Formula 1 driver Alexander Albon admit🐻s a “misjudgement” led to his “silly error” as he crashed at the start 🔯of second practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Albon dipped his front-left wheel onto the grass at Turnဣ 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 driver - who was taken to the medi🔯cal centre as a precaution due to the impact registering more than 15G - missed the rest of the rain-affected sessionℱ after picking up significant damage on his STR14.

“It was just a misjudgem💧ent 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 a📖s possible and I misjudged i🎐t.

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

“So I had the feeling that it was fine, I didn’t feel the front drop, so the rear ⛎drop💜ped. If you feel the front drop you can 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. Turned in and obviously the rear gave way, I went into the spin. The weather didn’tꦑ help with it raining so it was very slippery, so just a silly error.

“Of course there’s damage but I th🍌ink everything is OK,” he added. “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 ℱsee because tomorrow is meant to be raining.

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

“In terms of running everyone was restricted so we’re♔ not far behind. So we can still continue our plan.”
