F1 News: Esteban Ocon Crashes Out Of Miami Practicing

The Miami GP seems to be challenging quite a few drivers during FP3.

The red flag was deployed during FP3 of the Miami Grand Prix after Esteban Ocon crashed at Turn 14 after losing traction. His car spun 180 degrees after oversteering around the corner, and while he's okay after the incident, his car wasn't so lucky. 

Now, fans are wondering whether the car will be able to be repaired ahead of qualifying later today. 

"Ocon crashes out on the same corner that got the better of Carlos Sainz yesterday," Sky Sports F2 posts to Twitter.

🟥 RED FLAG 🟥

The red flag forced teammate Fernano Alonso back into the pits on his out lap before recording a time.
