 Mark Webber apologised to his Red Bull Racing team after admitting the crash during second practice in Turkey was his fault.
The Australian lost control of his car around the 30-minute mark, going off and hitting the barriers head-on, causing heavy damage to the front end of his car.
As a result of the accident, Webber covered just nine laps and finished down in 19th position.
"Going off the track at Turn 6 was 100 percent my fault," said Webber. "I didn't respect the green Astroturf that sits on the outside of the track enough.
"I was a bit too loaded up on the outside of the track, the Astroturf was a bit damp, and I went off, it was my fault. I apologise to the guys and we'll bounce back from this tomorrow."
Teammate David Coulthard enjoyed a much better session, finishing in a strong fourth position.
"Today was similar to the Friday session in Spain - there were no major problems, it was all about following the track evolution and making sure we had the balance right," he said.
"There are a lot of long corners on this circuit, you can see people are going off quite easily, so it's critical to get the front end right here. We'll look at the data now and decide what we'll do for tomorrow."
