Crash in Opening Moments Halts FP1

Perez's Accident Ruins Training Time for F1 Drivers

A disastrous start to Sergio Perez's weekend at the Hungarian Grand Prix as he crashed out in the opening moments of FP1. The accident, which occurred on his first flying lap, forced the Red Bull driver to abandon the session, costing him valuable training time.

Perez's crash came as he approached Turn 5, with the Mexican losing control of his car and spinning into the barriers. The incident brought out the red flag, halting FP1 for over 20 minutes.

The accident was a major setback for Perez, who was looking to build on his strong performance in qualifying at the previous race in Austria, where he finished third. The crash also disrupted the plans of the other F1 drivers, who were forced to wait for the track to be cleared before they could resume their running.

Despite the incident, Perez remained upbeat, stating that he was "not too worried" about the crash and that he was confident of a strong race weekend. However, the accident will undoubtedly be a concern for Red Bull, who will be desperate for Perez to score points and help them close the gap to Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship.

The FP1 session was also disrupted by heavy rain, which made conditions treacherous for the drivers. The wet weather prevented many of the teams from completing their planned running, with only a handful of cars managing to set competitive lap times.

The rain is expected to continue throughout the weekend, which could make for a challenging and unpredictable race on Sunday.
