With the red flag deployed, the rookie driver reported "I'm okay" over the radio, before adding that "I think it was just the front wing [that was damaged]".

Bortoleto was classified ninth in the one-hour session, which did not resume following the red flag, as Drivers' Championship leader Oscar Piastri topped the times from McLaren team mate Lando Norris.
