Oliver Bearman avoided serious injury despite having limped away from his Haas following a heavy crash during the Japanese Grand Prix.
Bearman was chasing Alpine's Franco Colapinto for 17th place on lap 21 when he lost control, veering off onto the grass and then spinning into the barrier at Spoon Curve at high speed.
The 20-year-old was helped by marshals as he needed to sit down after getting out of the car, but an X-ray at the track's medical centre revealed that the Brit had not suffered any fractures.
A Haas spokesperson said: "50G impact - has had X-ray at Medical Centre. No fractures - a right knee contusion following the impact."
The team then added in a post on social media that Bearman was "ok".
The incident triggered a race-altering Safety Car, which enabled Kimi Antonelli to take the lead by leapfrogging Oscar Piastri and George Russell.
