Qualifying for Formula 1's Imola Grand Prix has been red-flagged for a heavy crash for Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda.

Heading into the fast Villeneuve chicane at the end of the first sector, Tsunoda lost control over his RB21. Upon heavy contact with the inside wall, Tsunoda's car was sent into a violent a barrel roll.

 

Fortunately, his car landed the right side up, allowing the Japanese driver to climb out seemingly unhurt. Tsunoda was treated to applause from the fans in the adjacent grandstand as he walked over to the FIA's medical car.

The session was naturally red-flagged with 12 minutes on the clock in Q1, with just 10 out of 20 drivers having set a lap time.

The session restarted at 16:20 local time.
