Sebastian Vettel left furious after Lando Norris suffers big Belgium GP qualifying crash

Lando Norris suffered a big crash in Q3 during Belgium Grand Prix qualifying with the session red-flagged after the McLaren driver went off in slippery conditions. Norris catapulted into the wall back-end first at Eau Rouge and the accident left Sebastian Vettel furious after he had warned about the hazardous tarmac minutes earlier.

Asked if he was OK following his nasty-looking incident, Norris replied simply ‘yeah’ while sounding winded, before adding: “I’m sorry boys. I let you down, my bad.“

Thankfully he got out of the car unscathed to huge cheers from the fans at Spa, though appeared to be holding his wrist and arm.

Norris was immediately sent to the medical centre for check-ups to assess any potential injuries.

He suffered a big impact with the barriers on the outside of the high-speed Eau Rouge as his McLaren spun and collided with the wall.

Following some oversteer, the 21-year-old lost control of his car and as he tried to correct its direction, he careered off track.

Norris’ crash came just after Aston Martin’s Vettel called on race control to red flag the session over his team radio due to the standing water all over the track.

“They should red flag, there’s too much water,” the German said. He followed that up with an emotional message after learning of Norris’ off.

An irate Vettel reacted: “What the f*** did I say? What did I say? Red flag. Unnecessary. Is he OK?”

Similarly, Williams wrote: “Red flag as Norris has a nasty crash. So glad to see him out of the car.”
