Nico Hulkenberg had a similar off in the final sector in FP1.

It’s bad news for Haas, who have a new upgrade package for this weekend, which included a revised front wing.

With spare parts at a premium, Steiner admitted he was “pretty pi**ed” off when talking to Sky's commentary team after Magnussen’s crash.

“Quite disappointed with this on an out lap in Turn 3,” he told Sky Sports F1. “Knowing that you’ve got only two wings left from yesterday of our new wings. I’m pretty pissed off right now.

“It is a different set up and it was not what we expected so we need to go into more testing to see to make this work.
