Australian pilot of the Red Bull team Daniel Ricciardo, who crashed his car on the 15th turn near the Philharmonic in Baku, confirmed to Day.Az that he was all right.

“I did not understand how it all happened. As I earlier noted, you have very complicated and sharp turns. It’s a little unusual for us. At the moment, the car’s under repair. It will be ready by tomorrow. So let the fans do not worry,” Ricciardo noted.

Turn 15 of Baku City Circuit proved a particular trouble spot for the drivers and with 20 minutes to go it was the scene of the most major incident of the session when Daniel Ricciardo became the first driver to hit the barrier, according to F1fanatic.co.uk.

The Red Bull got off-line in the middle of turn 15 and wiped its right-rear suspension off on the wall. The red flag was thrown as the now three-wheeled Red Bull came to a stop.

Experts claim that the Baku track is the fastest street circuit of the season, with the length of 6 kilometers and with 20 turnings and the top speed of 340 kilometers per hour.
