Bottas, Verstappen crash out of second practice

SPIELBERG, Austria -- Valtteri Bottas and Max Verstappen both crashed out of an eventful second practice session at the Austrian Grand Prix as Ferrari's Charles Leclerc set the fastest time on Friday.

The separate incidents saw both cars make contact with the wall and resulted in the session being suspended twice while marshals cleaned up the mess.

The Verstappen incident occurred in the final corner of the lap and saw the Red Bull swap ends just after the apex. The car slid backwards and into the barriers, destroying the rear suspension and rear wing in the process.
