Max Verstappen crashed heavily at the start of the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday.
The four-time world champion, who came into the weekend with a new Red Bull contract extension through 2030, spun at the final corner on the opening lap of the race and smashed into the concrete wall lining the track.
His car spun back into the race track and was narrowly avoided by Alpine's Pierre Gasly.
Verstappen had started seventh in the race, which drops off the Formula 1 calendar after this year. He immediately reported that he was OK after the crash.
"Yeah that's it," he added. "S---. Sorry!"
Verstappen's wrecked car came to a standstill in the road, prompting the race to be suspended via a red flag.
Zandvoort's final corner is banked and had been the only part of the track still damp after a pre-race rain storm.
