Felipe Nasr admits his dramatic accident during fin🦹al free practice for the Canadian Grand Prix was his fault after catching the DRS bu🤪tton whilst warming his tyres.

The Brazilian was attempting to get heat into the rubber prior to starting a fast lap down the back straight, only to spear off suddenly🐭 nose first into the wall.

Reflecting on the incident, which left the Sauber with significant damage, Na✃sr held up his hands to fau𒅌lt by saying he simply caught the button accidentally.

"I think it was a combination of things, but at the same time it was simple," he said. "I was trౠying to bring my tyres up to temperature because I had just completed a run on them. When I went to the back straight the wind was a lot stronger today and when I was doing the weaving, somehow I pressed the DRS and that caught me by surprise.

"It is simple. There is nothing I could have done because it happened so quickly. The team did a fantastic job to put the car together. We had no issues on the chassis so🅷 looking at the big picture, the result in quali🐟fying is still pretty good.

Though he was l𓆉argely unhurt in the smash, save for a sore neck, Nasr was able to get out for qualifying and proceeded to qualify 15th, where he is looking to potentially chal💎lenge for points.

"Looking back at the races with a long straight, it was a benefit for us. I am hoping we can use that as an advantag😼e tomorrow. We are in a good position to fight for a few places in front, so we have to manage everything to make sure ꦦwe get on the right strategy."
