Ricciardo crashes out of first practice

Daniel Ricciardo became the first victim of the tight streets of Baku by crashing out of first practice for the European Grand Prix.

The Australian ran wide at turn 15, hitting the wall hard while trying to correct oversteer, with just over 20 minutes of the session remaining.

Earlier in the week when speaking of the possibility of a someone crashing into the close walls, Ricciardo remarked "I hope it's not me!"
