When navigating through T1 was still relatively stable, Norris slightly straightened his steering wheel after exiting the corner, maintaining his speed without any loss.
He then went full throttle straight towards the Elloge corner.
Just when everyone thought Norris was going to continue his astonishing performance from the Q1 and Q2 sessions, the camera switched.
A McLaren that had initially entered the Elloge corner smoothly, turned into a spinning top as it exited.
All four suspension wheels of the car were smashed and hung limply on the car, spinning and sliding along with it.
Debris was scattered all over the ground, with metal parts grinding against the surface and creating dazzling sparks. Naturally, the race committee issued a red flag at the first sight of this.
In the rain, no one knew what had just happened to Norris.
