Magnussen went off at Turn 8꧋ and slammed into the barriers, causing significant damage to his Haas car. 

Tꦗhe Dane looked shaken as he extracted himself from 📖the car but appeared to be uninjured. 

"Tꦑhe right-rear suspension broke,” said F1 co-commentator Martin Brunꦉdle after seeing a replay of the incident.

Magnussen’s rear brakes then dramatically caught fire but the marshals were able to put it out quiဣc🉐kly.  

After an initi꧂al Safet🐼y Car was called, the red flag was flown on Lap 35 to enable barrier repairs to take place. 

The race resumed with a standing restart at 9.13pm UK time, and Max﷽ Verstappen won.

H🦩aas later confirmed about Magnussen: "He’s at the medical centre and after a check-over is ok, but is꧒ being kept a little while longer just for observations."
