Red Bull’s Sergio Perez found himself in the barriers and out of qualifying for the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix – in a crash that will put his position at the team under ever closer scrutiny.
With the ninth-fastest time on the board in Q1 on a Hungaroring track peppered with rain, the Mexican rotated his Red Bull RB20 into the walls at the exit of Turn 8, causing significant damage to the rear end of the car.

The accident brought out the red flags, stopping the clock on the session with 6m 45s of Q1 to go – as Perez emerged seemingly unharmed and made his way back to the Red Bull garage.
It’s a garage that will have plenty of attention on it, with speculation continuing around Perez’s future at the team – Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner having labelled the Mexican’s recent run of poor form “unsustainable” after his P17 finish last time out in Silverstone.
Watch the dramatic crash in the video above, as the Red Bull mechanics now work to ready Perez’s car for Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix – Perez ending up P16 in the session after a late flurry of quick laps to mark his fourth Q1 exit in the past six races.
