Former Formula 1 driver Pascal Wehrlein was taken to hospital after a major crash during a practice session ahead of the Hyderabad E-Prix.
Formula E is racing in India for the first time this weekend, on a new street circuit created in the fourth most populous city in the country. Wehrlein comes into the E-Prix at the top of the standings after three races, with back-to-back victories at the two races in Diriyah and a second-placed finish in the Mexico City season opener.
But his preparations and hopes for another strong result this weekend took a hit on Friday, when he crashed during practice. His Porsche span entering the final corner of the track and smashed hard into a wall, causing extensive damage to the car.
