The first free practice session of the Japanese Grand Prix weekend was interrupted by a red flag due to a crash by Logan Sargeant, who went off track at Turn 7 and hit the barrier, forcing him out of the session. This incident marked the second significant crash for Williams in two races, following Alex Albon’s accident in Albert Park.
