Renault's Kevin Magnussen taken to hospital after dramatic crash at Belgian F1

Renault team principal Fred Vasseur said he was relieved that Magnussen had been unhurt, but wanted to wait another day before being sure his driver would be all fine.

The Renault suffered extensive damage.

Kevin Magnussen walked away from a huge accident during the Belgian Grand Prix, after he span into the barriers at the entry to Raidillon at full speed, with such violent force that his headrest came detached from his auto.

The Renault driver lost control and ploughed into a tyre barrier at 180 miles per hour on the run up to Raidillon during lap six of the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix.

"Thanks for all your messages folks!"

Despite the severity of the impact wrecking the crash barriers, Magnussen was able to haul himself out of the wreckage before being helped away from the accident site by race marshals and taken to the medical centre. He is fully conscious and responsive.

He was running eighth at the time of the crash.
