VIDEO: Albon wrecks Red Bull in huge Mexico crash

Alexander Albon lost the majority of FP2 at the Mexican Grand Prix after slamming his Red bull into the barriers at Turn 7 of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

Albon lost control of his car, having passed a slow-moving Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas on entry to the corner, perhaps breaking the Thai driver's concentration somewhat.

The front-right corner of the Red Bull appeared to be most significantly damaged, although costly chassis damage seemed to have been avoided.

Max Verstappen was second-fastest in FP2, with the Toro Rossos both in the top seven to show Albon what he might have missed out on in the session.

Fast corner + losing the back end = a one-way trip to the barrier 💥
