"He absolutely boffed into the guy with the front jack and it was that man who actually absorbed all of the impact and minimised the effect," Sky Sports' Ted Kravitz said.

"Yes he lost a second and a half, two seconds but great stopping work for that McLaren front jack man, he absolutely took the impact and the McLaren crew dealt really well with Oscar's little mistake."
