The Ferrari star smashed into the wall on the long straight in the mid-section of the lap.
A red flag was called and the session was delayed amid torrential rain and drivers worrying about poor visibility.
The Monegasque suffered severe damage to the right side of his car.
‘Not the way we wanted to start the day,’ Ferrari posted on social media.
