Nyck de Vries caused a red flag that ended his qualifying session on Friday afternoon.
The Dutch driver was looking to set his first representative time of the session before a lock-up saw him collide with the wall at turn 3.
That incident will be a major source of frustration for de Vries, who has been beaten by team-mate Tsunoda in every qualifying session of the 2023 season so far.
