“Marcus is OK,” Frederic Vasseur, the Sauber team principal, said. “He was a bit shocked but the car will be ready to race.”


Leclerc, Ericsson’s 20-year-old team-mate, was fortunate to avoid injury at Spa last weekend when Fernando Alonso’s airborne McLaren was deflected from his head by the “halo”, F1’s cockpit protection device.


Ericsson’s ability to walk away from yesterday’s crash without so much as a scratch was again testament to the sport’s impressive safety record. “I am all fine,” he said in a video posted on social media last night.


“It was a big one. The safety of the cars is incredible. Hopefully, tomorrow we should be back fighting and I look forward to that.”
