Meanwhile Oliver Bearman faced another incident after the crash at FP1, which made him miss the FP2 session.
The 19-year-old was all set to make-up for the lost practise time but had a session-ending moment just minutes into the practice.
During Turn 11, Bearman accidentally drove onto the grass while braking, which made Hass' car spun out of control and get stuck in the gravel, making him and the team clearly frustrated.
While discussing his FP1 crash, the Briton racer informed the press, "The guys did a great job to try to get the car back out but we just ran out of time. I just had a small mistake at Turn 10, which put me a but wide and our there it's very bumpy and I, unfortunately, lost the car."
Moreover, Lewis Hamilton scored eighth position, ahead of Yuki Tsunoda and Lando Norris.
