IMAGO / PanoramiC
MIAMI — One name was missing from Saturday’s qualifying session: Esteban Ocon.
The Alpine driver had crashed into the concrete barrier at Turn 14 during practice earlier that day, suffering a 51G impact. Although the driver was okay, he had to be taken to the medical center due to the force triggering the impact warning light. His car ended up with a cracked chassis. Ocon had to miss qualifying because of it.
