Max Verstappen has revealed that he underwent an X-ray after his crash during qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
However, the results of the scan showed that he suffered no broken bones in the shunt.<\/p>\n
Verstappen was starting his first lap during Q1 but was sent into a spin as he applied the brakes at the opening corner.<\/p>\n
The Dutchman skated across the gravel and collided with the barrier, eliminating him from the session.<\/p>\n
Images of the four-time champion appeared to show him having discomfort in his hands as he returned to the pit lane.<\/p>\n
When asked by media including RacingNews365 how he was feeling, Verstappen replied: \u201cAll good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just had to get some X-rays done to see if my hands were okay, but nothing was broken.\u201d<\/p>\n
Verstappen is now due to start the season-opening race from Melbourne at the back of the grid, while team-mate Isack Hadjar impressed en route to third.<\/p>\n
Expanding on his on-track incident, Verstappen asserted he was completely caught by surprise.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just hit the pedal and the whole rear axle just completely locked, which with these Formula 1 cars, is very weird.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve never experienced that in my whole life.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many things that we need to look at, I think, in general, as a sport.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Max Verstappen has revealed that he underwent an X-ray after his crash during qualifying for the Australian Grand…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525072,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[827,830,828,831,829,826,813,43,823,825,824,44,822,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-525071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-headlines","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-news","tag-racing","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
