Red Bull star Yuki Tsunoda has been involved in a huge crash during qualifying at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

After a short break on the back of the Miami Grand Prix, Formula 1 made its much-anticipated return this week in Imola, Italy.

The race around the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari is the first of a European triple header, with the Monaco Grand Prix following this weekend before the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.

On Saturday afternoon, the qualifying sessions in Imola took place ahead of Sunday's Grand Prix.

During Q1, the session was halted with 12 minutes left on the clock after Tsunoda crashed going into Turn 5.

The Japanese driver looked fine as he was seen getting out of the car.

However, replays showed that he spun at high speed and the car then flipped as it approached the barrier, landing upside down before the roll hoop turned him back over.

As reported by Sky Sports, Tsunoda has been taken away to the medical centre to be checked over.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, commentator Ben Edwards said: "Yuki Tsunoda clipped the kerb, bounced the car and my goodness that was a big accident."

Meanwhile, former F1 mechanic Marc Priestley added: "Yuki Tsunoda's car did a complete 360, it landed upside down before the car then righted itself coming off the barriers.

"There's a huge amount of damage to the car and the barriers - that will all need repairing as well."

Sky Sports F1's Anthony Davidson said: "He's hitting the floor, a lot of plank dust [on the approach to the corner].

"Then takes a huge amount of kerb, the most I have seen so far this weekend."

He added: "[The car] rotates around, hits the light panel. I'm not sure he hit the catch fetching much, if at all, and most of the damage has been done to the tyre barrier that has been covered over.

"They've got to put the barrier back to the state it was homologated in."
