Marcus Ericsson will not participate in the second practice session for the French Grand Prix in the wake of his accident earlier on Friday.
Ericsson spun through on the entry to the double-right hander of Beausset and suffered a rear-right impact, after which a fire took hold.
The rear-right of his Sauber C37 sustained substantial fire damage and team boss Frederic Vasseur confirmed that Ericsson will not be able to return to track action on Friday.
Ericsson was able to walk away from the wreckage uninjured.
The accident, which occurred during the final few minutes of running, brought a premature halt to proceedings in a session that was topped by Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.
