Max Verstappen health update issued after x-ray on hand injury following qualifying crash Newspoint  |  2026-03-07T18:40:40+08:00

Max Verstappen has confirmed he has not suffered any broken bones after he was seen holding his hand following his qualifying crash in Melbourne. His Red Bull skipped across a sea of gravel before slamming hard into a barrier, after his rear wheels locked up under braking and the Dutchman lost control of the car.

Verstappen seemed to be in some discomfort as he walked away from his stricken Red Bull and visited the Albert Park Circuit medical centre after he was ferried back to the paddock. But he has confirmed that no lasting damage has been done, telling reporters: "Nothing broken. With the steering wheel, when I hit the wall... but nothing is broken."
