Having already crashed at a similar part of the circuit on Friday, Marquez ran into the rear of Bastianini when both riders were off the racing line and looking behind.

Bastianini, who was ahead of Marquez to begin the second stint in Q1, got his braking all wrong for turn one before later touring around turn four.
