De Vries had no time on the clocks at the time of his crash. The 28-year-old driver's crash came at a bad time, as he seemed to have just a bit more momentum to catch.
When exiting the pit lane, de Vries had to be rolled back by his team due to a brake problem. This may also have played a role in his crash.
