Red Bull technical director Adrian Newey was involved in an accident at Snetterton, and was taken to hospital for precautionary checks.

Newey, the mastermind of the championship leading Red Bull-Renault RB6 chassis, was entered in the Ginetta G50 Cup, a supporting race to the British Touring Car Championship, driving the guest car, and was spun by another competitor and then while sitting in the middle of the track was t-boned by a third car. The race was red flagged, and ITV's Louise Goodman reported that Newey had been taken to hospital for checks.
